Chapter 405
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 405 We Will Never Part
âIâve just bought this villa for you, and youâre already thinking about divorcing me?â
âThen Iâll tell everyone youâre a love con artist!â
Cherise was left speechless.
She playfully tapped his forehead. âWhatâs going on in that mind of yours?â
âNot much,â he replied.
The man carried her to the entrance of their seaside villa, used his fingerprint to unlock the door, and
skillfully transported her to the master bedroom on the third floor.
The master bedroom had floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the sea outside, where the soft
sunlight poured in, giving the room a unique charm.
He gently laid her down on the plush, spacious bed and leaned over her, kissing her with a mixture of
tenderness and passion.
As his kisses traveled lower, Cherise immediately sensed a change in the atmosphere.
She quickly pushed his head away. âWhat are you⦠doing?â
âDoing⦠You⦠of course.â
Cherise was confused. Whatâs going on? Werenât we just in a tense situation a moment ago?
She thought Damien had brought her into the room so they could have a snack and find some comfort
before going to sleepâ¦. but this wasnât the kind of sleep she had in mind!
âYou know, Lennonâs theory on marriage was that the fights and making up both happen in the
bedroom.â
âWell, it seems weâve just had a little argument. So⦠Damien continued kissing Cherise with a
mischievous grin.
Cherise was dumbfounded.
Can I choose not to make up then?
But she had already been deprived of that choice.
The manâs kisses traveled down her neck and eventually stopped atâ¦.
âDonâtâ¦â
She eagerly clutched the bedsheets with her fingers. âStop kissingâ¦â
1/3
lowever, the man, as if he hadnât heard her, pulled her into the abyss.
Sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, causing Cheriseâs face to blush. She gritted her
teeth. âAt the very least, could you close the curtains..
âDonât worry. No one can see,â
He let out a light chuckle. âDonât hold back. If you say what I want to hear, I might close those curtains
for you.â
Cherise had never encountered someone as shamelessly bold as Damien!
Eventually, the curtains were closed, not because Cherise pleaded for it, but because Damien had
become overheated from the relentless sun.
The seaside sun was scorching, and he had been working out in bed!
After a long day, Cherise, utterly exhausted, devoured a box of cereal and then fell asleep like a log.
Damien sat at the edge of the bed, gazing at her peacefully sleeping face, and let out a soft sigh.
Her eyes were still swollen, a testament to how much she had cried earlier.
âMy sweet, silly girl,â he murmured with a gentle, resigned smile, âYouâre an angel with teary eyes too,
you know.â
He leaned down and placed a loving kiss on her lips.
âDamienâ¦â
Cherise, halfway between sleep and wakefulness, clung to his neck, her voice carrying a touch of
dependence. âI donât want to be away from youâ¦
âThen we will never be apart.â He embraced her and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Meanwhile, seated in a cafe, Mandy glared intensely at Zachary, who sat across from her, casually
sipping his yogurt. âPut that down already! Seriously?! How can you stay so calm and do nothing about
it!?â
âDo something about it, can you?â
Zachary regarded her with indifference. âGetting all worked up wonât solve the problem.â
âWho said getting worked up wonât solve the problem?â
Mandy was on the verge of losing her temper!
Upon returning home, she had expected Maeve and Clinton to give her a hard time. To her
astonishment, Maeve went directly to Cherise and bombarded her with a barrage of bizarre
2/3
Mandy herself found it difficult to accept, and she could only imagine how bewildering it must have
been for Cherise, who had never experienced such chaos in her life.
Zachary looked at her coldly. âYouâre the one getting anxious.
