Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 It Isn’t the Right Time Yet

Damien smiled faintly and drew her into his embrace. “I won’t need to go and mope in the Shaw’s village as long as you remain by my side!” He sighed. “There was a time when I felt my frequent visits burdened Uncle Shaw and Aunt Sarah, so I created a commemorative album filled with shared experiences and photographs.”

“To ensure the album would last, I had it crafted from gilded metal…” Damien stared into the distance, hist voice trailing off. “I did this hoping the album could last for a long time, but I didn’t expect it to be lost in the devastating fire three years ago.”

He shook his head slightly regretfully. “Lennon speculated that someone took the album to extract the gold from its gilded exterior…”

“Although unfortunate, I’m grateful you’re back now.” The man looked down and gently squeezed Cherise’s nose. “In the future, we’ll have many more moments to commemorate…”

Cherise bit her lip. She held Damien’s hand and remained silent. How can I tell him the album is still tucked away in my suitcase?

The album wasn’t stolen for its gold. Cherise had rescued it from the fire with her bare hands. Moreover…

She glanced at her healed right hand subconsciously. She could still remember how the heat from the album had seared her hand.

The following day at noon, Cherise and Lucy were seated in a café near the research institute. “You’re saying Rowena claimed she saved Damien from that fire three years ago?”

“She’s utterly shameless!” Lucy slammed the table, gritting her teeth. “Back then, you traveled far from abroad to rescue Damien. You arrived just after the fire started and even injured one of your hands… but credit was given to that empty-headed Rowena in the end?!”

Cherise held her coffee cup in one hand. Her right hand twirled the straw, and she nodded as she sipped. “Exactly.”
