Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 541 She Should Be Safe
Damien was speechless.
Is she really going to throw the keys down?
Didnât she just kick me out of the car? Why is she letting me into her house now?
Does she want to talk to me?
Damien furrowed his brow, feeling skeptical as he walked to the area below Cheriseâs apartment. He positioned himself where the keys could be
caught.
âWhat are you up to?â
Although doubts had started creeping into his mind, he couldnât shake the feeling that the person on the other end couldnât be anyone else.
After all, no one else would have known so much about his relationship with Cherise and gone as far as to seek out Mr. Kolsonâs WhatsApp
account.
Damien pondered with furrowed brows.
âSplash!â A basin of cold water was abruptly dumped from Cheriseâs balcony.
Damien was drenched. Chill seeped into his bones.
Never before had he been so thoroughly and embarrassingly drenched.
Mr. Kolson witnessed everything from a distance. His mouth hung open in shock. âMr. Lenoirâ¦â
At that moment, Damienâs phone beeped with another message.
âHumph, you think you can win over Mommy? Not a chance!â
âHurry up and leave, creep! Mommy has me to protect her. You wonât stand a chance!â
Damien Lenoir was speechless.
âRen?â
Cherise had finished drying off Serafinaâs hair and sent her back to her room. After draining the bathtub, she found Soren still on the balcony,
holding a basin and watering the plants.
She frowned. âSoren, itâs time for your bath and bedtime!â
âThese are succulents. Theyâll die if you overwater them!â
âOh.â

The little boy in light blue pajamas responded before returning to the living room with the empty basin. He closed the balcony door and said,
âMommy, you and Sera can go to bed first. Iâm going to take a bath!â
âOkay.â
Cherise affectionately ruffled her sonâs hair, âHurry up and finish your bath. Donât play around in the bathroom.â
âGot it!â
Soren closed the bathroom door with a grin.
Cherise yawned and went into Serafinaâs room. She picked up a fairy tale storybook and lay down on the bed. âWhere did we stop last time?â
âWe were at the part where the mermaid turned into a human to find the prince.â
A little girl in pink rabbit-print pajamas leaned against the head of the bed, observing Cherise with her big eyes.
Cherise cleared her throat. She turned to the page with the story about the mermaid and narrated it earnestly, âThe mermaid came to the princeâs
palace and saw the prince and the princess beside himâ¦â
Meanwhile, Mr. Kolson nervously handed tissues to Damien in the black Cayenne parked downstairs. âMr. Lenoirâ¦â
âHmm.â
Damien had taken off his coat, wearing only a thin shirt.
Soren had dumped the water so accurately that it drenched Damien from head to toe.
âMr. Lenoir.â
Mr. Kolson cleared his throat and said, âYouâll catch a cold like this.â
âWhy donât we return to the hotel for you to change your clothes? We can come here again afterward.â
âMrs. Lenoir is at home now. She should be safe.â
Damien Lenoir frowned and nodded, âSounds good. Iâm tired.â
He had been in meetings all night. When he heard about Maeve coming to this small town for surgery this morning, he rushed to the hospital
without rest.
Then, he met Cherise again and helped Maeve settle into the hospital.
Thus, he had not had a moment of rest all day.
âLetâs go back to the hotel and rest.â
Mr. Kolson was surprised that Damien agreed readily. âMr. Lenoir, are you⦠not going to stay here?â
âNo. That wonât be necessary.â

Damien rubbed his forehead with his slender fingers. âFirstly, I havenât had a proper rest all day. Iâm quite worn out.â
