Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 976 Unexpected Intrigue The man shook his head in mild bemusement, a faint smile playing on his lips. âItâs not particularly urgent.â Cheriseâs response was quick and relentless. âStill, let's give it a listen. What if it's truly significant?â âMr. Whitlock emphasized its importance when he contacted me...â Unable to dissuade her, Damien closed the bedroom door with a resigned sigh, then proceeded to remove his coat before reclining on the bed, drawing Cherise close into his embrace.
âHow about this: we listen together, and afterward, you can get srest?â Cherise nodded in agreement, her lips slightly pursed. âAlright.â As Damien inhaled the scent of her hair, he pressed play on the voice recorderâ The night enveloped them in quietude as they lay intertwined.
Cheriseâs expression oscillated between shock and embarrassment, while Damien's eyes held a hint of amusement.
The room was filled with the voices emanating from the recorder.
âYour husband isnât aware of our rendezvous, correct?â âNo, heâs oblivious, and heâll remain so... Does your wife suspect anything?â âThat old hag, ugh!â âCcloser, my love, ckiss me.â âEmbrace me...â Cherise found herself speechless.
Mr. Whitlock had stressed the significance of the recording when entrusting it to her.
Yet here they were, listening to the clandestine affair of unfamiliar voices.
And why was the volescalating and the content becoming more... intimate? Why did the woman's voice sound so...? Balance: 368 +0 Chapter 976 Unexpected Intrigue But even beneath the covers, the sounds persisted, relentlessly assaulting her ears.
In the end, Cherise cautiously peeked out from beneath the blanket. âUm... dear, perhaps you should turn it off.â Damien arched an eyebrow, sensing her embarrassment, and decided to tease her a bit. âBut isnât this what you wantedto hear?â With a mischievous grin, he lifted the blanket. âShall we listen together?â Cherise felt at a loss for words. Gritting her teeth, she began to voice her frustration about Mr. Whitlock. âI thought... I thought Mr. Whitlock, being my former boss, wouldn't have any ulterior motives...â âI believed everything he said... but I never expected...â That he would subject her to this with Damien! What's so good about listening to this? How mortifying! âHe meant no harm, Cherise.â Damien's calm voice carried a hint of amusement. âDidnât you mention he specifically instructed you to listen with me?â Cherise nodded silently. âHe did.â âMm.â Damien playfully teased her, âPerhaps Yolanda and Mr. Whitlock are trying to promote the relationship between us as a married couple?â Cheriseâs face flushed crimson as she tried to grab the recorder. âHow does this promote anything?â Feeling as though sheâd forced Damien into this embarrassing situation, Cherise wished she could disappear.
Damien's smile remained faint. âMrs. Lenoir, donât you know?â âWhether itâs a man or a woman, hearing such sounds elicits a reaction.â He glanced at her with his dark eyes. âDo you have a reaction now, Mrs. Lenoir?â Cherise was speechless.

She had no reaction at all! Right now, she was just mortified! Unable to answer Damienâs question, she tried to snatch the recorder from his hand.
She attacked, and he dodged.
She advanced, and he retreated.
She struck, and he defended.
Beads of sweat formed on Cheriseâs forehead as the playful struggle ensued.
