Chapter 55 Exposed
âEven though itâs for moneyâ¦â
She looked adorable with her head lowered hesitantly.
To Damien, compared to her stubborn behavior, she became more adorable when she was helplessly
panicking.
Damien arched his eyebrows as he smiled slightly. âIf I didnât ask you directly, were you going to hide
this from me forever?â
Cherise nodded. âYes. Itâs my personal problem. After all⦠you have no obligation to be responsible for
that.â
âHe is your husband; of course he has an obligation to do so, just like you have the same obligation to
be responsible as his wife, including taking care of the bottom half of his body.â
She had no idea when Jacob appeared with his arms around Blake. Both of them sat on the other end
of the couch.
Jacob flashed a smile at Cherise. âDamien knew about everything over the past few days. He has been
waiting for you to tell him yourself, so he did not probe you. over it.â
Cheriseâs eyes widened. She shot a glance at Damien, who remained impassive. The black silk cloth
almost covered the expression on his face.
âYouâ¦.â She blushed involuntarily upon recalling her feeble excuse of studying physics. âYou knew I
was lyingâ¦â
He nodded. âAll the things I asked you for help-to feed and shower me, were all done to make you
confess.â
Cherise bit her lips. I thought he was starting to rely on me by asking me for help with eating, and I
thought it was inconvenient for him to take showers. Even yesterday, when he asked me to prepare a

how would I know that?
Jacobâs eyebrows slightly creased upon sensing her silence. âCherise, donât blame him for all the
trouble. This man has low EQ. If I wasnât here today, he would probably still be throwing tantrums at
you. He doesnât express himself well.â
Cherise pursed her lips before replying, âActually⦠Iâm the same too.â
I should have thought of the sudden change in his behavior lately. All this while, he has never

intentionally given me a hard time. There must be a reason behind this.
She was so occupied with earning more money that it slipped her mind.
Jacob had prepared a long speech to give her some advice. However, he decided against that when he
heard her reply.
He shook his head after looking at the seemingly indifferent Damien and Cherise, who had been
stealing glances at him.
âHave a good talk, both of you. Blake and I will
âItâs fine,â Damien interrupted. âWeâre going back to our room.â He turned to Cherise and commanded,
âLetâs go.â
She leaped from the couch instantly. She bade farewell to Jacob and quickly pushed Damien upstairs.
After reaching the bedroom, she closed the door with a huge sigh.
âUhm⦠Iâm sorry about that.â She stood by the door awkwardly. âI didnât mean to hide it from youâ¦
âI know.â He waved at her from the wheelchair. âCome here.â
She pursed her lips and walked to him tentatively. As soon as she got closer, he gave her a
tug, making her fall into his arms.
His scent and breath instantly made her blush.
