Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 33 Iâm Working
Cherise shook her head. âNever mind.â
âWhy?â
âThey want to ridicule me and will always find something to discuss. Even if I prove Damien isnât old,
ugly, fat, or bald, they will still taunt him for being disabled.â
She took a deep breath and put on her earphones. âI can just ignore them.â
Since she had married Damien, she had to take care of him. She couldnât give him any trouble.
Lucy pursed her lips in exasperation. âCressa is insulting you for no good reason.â
Cressaâs taunting would become worse if they couldnât show her proof.
When Lucy thought about it, she felt that it was unfair. âCherise, your marriage is legitimate. Why
should they slander you like this?â
Cherise smiled slightly. âItâs alright. Ignore them.â
She gave Lucy some water. âHave some water and calm down. The lecturer is about to come.â
Todayâs class was advanced mathematics with their lecturer nicknamed Ice Queen.
Lucy rolled her eyes and sipped the water. Cherise could accept it, but not her.
After the advanced mathematics lecture ended, Lucy said she was going to look for her cousin before
she disappeared.
After Lucy left, everyone continued to insult Cherise and said Lucy was calling in reinforcements for
Cherise.
Cherise didnât care about what they were saying.
After classes ended, she walked to the entrance with her bag as usual.
âCherise!â
Cressaâs annoying voice rang behind her. She had with her a group of classmates with malicious
intentions, âWe want to see who is providing for you!â
They kept pestering Cherise. Even if she didnât want to get into a conflict with them, she grew agitated
at their relentless behavior.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to tell Mr. Kolson not to pick her up when Cressaâs surprised
voice rang behind her. âDad!â
Cressaâs father was dressed impeccably as he stood before an extended Lincoln. He was quietly
looking around at the school entrance.
Cressaâs jaw dropped, and her mouth was wide open.
Her father, Randall Lyes, was a reputable figure in Adania. Cressa had always wanted Randall to pick
her up at school, but Randall always said he was busy. Unlike other fathers, he had never sent or
picked her up to and from school.
But Randall suddenly appeared at the school entrance today.
Cressa immediately felt excited when she saw the extended Lincoln vehicle beside her father. âMy dad
is here to pick me up!â
And he came in an extended Lincoln. It looked very imposing!
It was clear that although Randall usually never paid much attention to Cressa, he still cared about his
daughter.
With everyone crowding around Cressa, she passed Cherise as she walked to the school entrance in
enormous strides.
âIâm in a good mood today, so Iâll spare you today.â
Cressa said to Cherise nastily as she walked
past.
Cherise didnât say a word and continued typing her message to Mr. Kolson. âYou donât have to pick me
up today. I can take the bus.â
Mr. Kolson replied instantly. âI canât pick you up today, Mrs. Lenoir, but someone will come in my place.â
Cherise furrowed her brows. She wanted to reply to Mr. Kolson, saying he didnât need to bother, but
she heard a commotion.
She looked up subconsciously and saw Randall, almost fifty years old, walk to her respectfully. âMrs.
Lenoir, Iâm here to pick you up in place of your driver, Mr. Kolson.â
There was an uproar around her.
Cressaâs eyes widened. âDad!â
Randall Jurned to glare at her. âIâm working!â
After that, he turned back and smiled respectfully at Cherise. âThis way, Mrs. Lenoir.â
Cherise felt her blood freeze.
The person
who Mr. Kolson had said would come in place of him was Cressaâs father?
