Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 301 A Complete Hoax
Lucy nodded and went silent
Rodney lowered his head and sighed.
Cherise furrowed her eyebrow. She could not hear him clearly, but she was certain he mumbled. âWhat
a shame,â when he sighed.
She pursed her lips as she felt even more revulsion for him.
The vehicle began to move.
Cherise leaned against the window, shutting her eyes drowsily.
It had been her habit since she was young. She would drift off on every car trip.
She got better after marrying Damien, as they frequently used the car.
But she could not help herself from dozing off on long-distance journeys.
When she woke up, they were in Sequoia.
Yawning, she pulled her luggage out with her and examined the village.
To her surprise, it was not as charming as the Shawâs village.
Disappointment crept up in the girlâs heart.
Whatâ¦
When she saw photos of the place online, she thought that the place was breathtaking-
But now that she was there, it was a complete hoax!
I should have just gone home.
âThis is gorgeous!â
âItâs just as beautiful as I expected!â
âOh my! This is my first time in such a paradise!â
Cherise did not expect all the others to rave about how beautiful the place was.
They even called it a paradise.
Cherise was taken aback. She could not understand.

Is it⦠is it that our village is just too beautiful?
This doesnât look special to me at allâ¦
âCountry bumpkin, youâve never been to such a beautiful place before, have you?â
Jessie glared at Cherise when she stepped off the bus
âWhat are you staring at Are you thinking that your old home isnât as stunning? But thatâs not surprising
at all. Itâs impossible for a country bumpkin to visit such a paradise. Iâm not surprised youâre stunnedââ
She pulled Mandy. âLetâs goââ
Mandy stepped off the bus elegantly. She looked at Cherise and smiled unexpectedly. âItâs my first time
at such a place too.â
She could not avert her eyes from the scenery.
She had not been to such a picturesque place.
Besides, she did not need to be at war with Cherise since Damien was not around.
âWhat are you saying to her?â
Jessie pressed her lips together and pulled Mandy.
She must have used too much strength as Mandy began to lose her balance. She was about to fall
onto the ground.
A manâs hand pulled her in time.
It was Rodney.
Whether it was intentional or not, when he pulled her, she almost fell right into his embrace.
But it did not happen as she held herself up with his arm.
âThank you.â
Her face was pale.
A hint of red flushed across his cheeks. âNo, no worries.â
âHow dare you take advantage of Mandy, you creep!â
Jessie glowered at him while pulling Mandy away.
Mandy looked back unconsciously as they left.

She noticed the excitement and joy in his eyes.
A cold look flitted through her eyes.
Thatâs Lucyâs boyfriend?
Heâs just a random guy.
âLetâs go.â
Lucy frowned while heading toward Cherise with her luggage.
Cherise furrowed her forehead as she joined Lucy with her luggage. âYou saw that, right?â
She looked back at Rodney, who was collecting the things on the bus with the other club members. âHe
could have just supported Mandyâs arm if he wanted to help her. Why does he have to do that?â
