Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 87 Do You Like How I Look
Iâve never seen her make this kind of mistake.
Cherise pursed her lips and answered awkwardly, âI closed my eyes just nowâ¦â
Damien paused in astonishment. âWhy did you close your eyes?â
Cherise began to blush. âIâ¦â
âI saw how well you cut the steak, and I wanted to understand what itâs like to do it without sight.â
After saying that, she was so embarrassed that she wished the floor would swallow her.
No wonder Damien called me dumb. What I did⦠was quite stupid.
She thought Damien would laugh at how silly she was.
However, she did not hear any laughter.
Instead, Damien gently caressed her hair. âCherise.â
âYes?â
âYou donât have to understand how I feel. You only have to take care of yourself.â
Cherise pursed her lips and looked at him earnestly. âNo, I donât matter. I want to take care of you.â
Her voice and gaze were full of determination and stubbornness.
Damien chuckled and began to bandage her wound. âYou must make sure youâre safe and healthy
before you can take care of me.â
Cherise considered and nodded. âI understand.â
She seemed so docile that she reminded him of a little girl.
He smiled and focused on bandaging her wound.
Cherise sat on the couch and observed him.
He dressed her wound with practiced hands and could accurately find where her injury
was.

Cherise bit her lip and hesitated before saying, âDear.â
âYes?â
âYou⦠can see, right?â
Silence fell between them.
Damien was stumped briefly. Then, he cleared his throat and said, âYouâre right. I can see.
now.â
There was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice. âPerhaps I was too anxious. I recover
my sight briefly when I get too nervous.â
Cherise widened her eyes. She never knew this could happen.
Then, she recalled what Jacob had said at the police station.
He said Damien had surgery and could regain his sight.
Does this mean the surgery works?
No matter the reason, he can see now. Iâm so glad!
Cherise removed her hand from his hold and urgently held his face. âDear, can you see
me?â
Her eyes glimmered like crystals under the light. They were full of anticipation and excitement.
Damien nodded. âYes, I can.â
Then, Cherise blushed and stammered. âDo⦠you like how I look?â
Isnât this his first time seeing me?
Iâm so glad that I dressed up to celebrate his birthday.
Otherwise, he would be disappointed if he saw how dull I look without makeup.
Damien chuckled and gently pinched her soft cheek. âI like it.â
In the next second, Cherise excitedly flung herself into Damienâs embrace. âDear, Iâm so happy!â
Since he regains his sight temporarily, it proves he has a chance to recover fully.

Then, he will be able to see Tristanâs true colors. Heâll never fall for his lies again!
Cheriseâs excitement grew as she thought about it. Her heart thumped rapidly.
Damien let her embrace him.
Her warmth gradually enveloped his stone-cold heart.
After a while, he let her go. âDo you still want some steak?â
Damien remembered she did not eat anything besides the small slice of cake he had not finished.
Cherise blushed. âIâll eat a little.â
She was hungry.
Damien stood up and went to the dining table. He brought the steak he finished slicing.
Before Cherise could take the plate, Damien took a fork and brought a bite of steak to her. mouth.
âOpen your mouth.â
Cherise was too stunned to speak. Is he⦠feeding me?
