Chapter 374 Itâs Wonderful To Marry You
The pen he usually used in his study room looked old. Cherise believed that the pen held some special
meaning to him, so she intended to gift him a new pen, allowing him to keep
the old one as a memento.
By the time she finished shopping, Damien and Lennon had resolved their dispute. After sending Greg
to return the items to the Tanners, Damien took Cherise to try some local. delicacies.
Sitting across froin Cherise, Damien smiled in resignation when he saw her struggling to remove the
shells from the escargots.
âTake this.â
Damien elegantly placed some escargots he had already deshelled in front of Cherise and moved hers
onto his plate.
Cherise chuckled in embarrassment. âIâm a little clumsy.â
âNot just a little. Youâre very clumsy.â Damien wore a faint smile.
The girl pouted. âIâve told you, I scored full marks in all my exams.
âEven so, youâre clumsy.â
âOkayâ¦â Cherise glanced at the escargots Damien had nicely deshelled and nodded in frustration. âIâll
work on it.â
Damien laughed. âYou silly girl, youâll never need to with me around. Iâll lose my job if you can do it
yourself someday.â
Cherise took a while to realize it was a flirtatious remark. Her cheeks flushed. âEven so, I shouldnât
always rely on youâ¦. If Iâm still this clumsy in front of others, theyâll laugh at me.â
Damien shrugged. âIt seems like youâre constantly being teased after marrying me. Do you regret it?â
Cherise shook her head without hesitation. âOf course not! Even before we got married, Aunt Sarah
told me that I couldnât have any regrets once I decided to marry you. I made a promise with them that
no matter what happened, I would never leave you unless you didnât want me anymore.â
After saying this, Cherise could feel her cheeks grow hotter.
Looking affectionately at her, Damien mumbled softly, âYou hadnât even seen me then,
1/2
and you knew I was blind and disabled. How did you have the courage to make such a
decision?â
To him, any rational person wouldnât make such a commitment without knowing the other person at all.
A lifetime was too long; no one could guarantee their feelings for someone for their entire life.
ââ¦â Cherise lowered her head and didnât dare to look at Damien. Her voice was barely audible.
âBecauseâ¦. Iâve seen your picture.â
She was blushing to the root of her hair. âGrandpa sent me your pictures. Lucy even got help from a
computer software major to verify that they werenât photoshopped.
Cherise lifted her head and gazed at Damien, looking shy. âHubby, you grew on me. I thought you were
handsome when I first saw your pictures. But after I met you in person. I found you even more
attractive. Soâ¦.â
Cheriseâs hand was trembling. âI thought you were so good-looking, and you turned out to be a person
with disabilities, so I should protect you. But now, youâre the one protecting
me!â
Cherise beamed brightly. âItâs wonderful to marry you.â
At the age of seventeen, she had once dreamed of marrying a handsome, charming, rich, and loving
man. At that time, Lucy had teased her for her unrealistic dreams.
