Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Cherise the Fool?

Why is this mall so deserted?

As if he could read her mind, Damien spoke softly. “This mall belongs to the Lenoirs.”

Then, it made sense why the mall was open only for them. “But the weekend is the time. when malls make the most profit. Closing abruptly like this would cause losses, wouldn’t it?” Cherise asked.

Damien smiled gently. “This mall’s in the Lenoir name, but it’s actually owned by Tristan. If it loses money, that’s on him.”

Cherise pursed her lips. “Then so be it!” Her determined tone elicited a chuckle from Damien. “You dislike him that much, huh?”

“Of course!” Just the mention of the name made Cherise feel disgusted.

“He’s not inherently a bad person,” the man sighed. “since you want him to suffer, we should take more of those expensive things.”

He continued, “We don’t need to pay for anything here.”

Cherise responded with an enthusiastic cheer. “Oh yeah!” But what did he mean by ‘expensive things? She didn’t have a clue.

She pushed Damien around the mall for a while, buying a smart foot bath to relax her grandma’s tired feet, a massager and a phone for her uncle and aunt, and a bunch of health supplements to improve her family’s overall health.

Finally, in the stationary section, she bought two college prep textbooks for Sky and Tay, her twin cousin brothers.

Seeing the gifts she chose for her cousin brothers, Damien couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “They’re going to hate you.”

Cherise carefully wrapped the exercise books, her movements precise and efficient. “Why would they hate me? They’re about to enter their senior year and need this!”

Damien’s faint smile softened his angular features, “Not everyone is as fond of studying as

you are.”

“But for them, studying is their only way out of the mountain village.”

Cherise became serious, her eyes dark and bright. “The children in the mountain village have to work very, very hard to have a better life than those in the city.”

Looking at Cherise’s glistening eyes, Damien’s heart twinged slightly. “And what about. you? How hard did you work back then?”
