Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 907 Loneliness From Childhood
Cherise was taken aback. “So… if I wasn’t with you tonight, would you have declined?”
The man nodded, an uncertain smile plastered on his face as he said gently, “While I am happy to support the orphanage, I am not fond of these events
Cherise swallowed a lump in her throat, internally admonishing herself for her impulsive behavior.
Her hands clenched down on the leather seat underneath her. “Then… what should we do…”
“There’s nothing we can do,” Damien sighed in resignation. “I must accompany Mrs. Lenoir to the event.”
“If Mrs. Lenoir feels guilty, she can find a way to make it up to me.”

Cherise chewed on her bottom lip, lost in thoughts of dire consequences to her. Furrowing her brows, she said meekly, “You wouldn’t… expect me to… have more children as compensation, would you?”

“Mrs. Lenoir is truly astute,” the man chuckled as he started the car. “You always guess what I want right away.”
Cherise gulped nervously, her body flushing pink.

She couldn’t believe that a kiss between them nearly made her forget about his comments earlier.
Taking a deep breath, her lips grew thin and firm as she gazed out of the car window. “Damien,” she said seriously.
Silence lingered in the air for a few minutes before he finally responded, “Yes?”
“I don’t want to have more children for now.”
“Why?” he asked, arching an eyebrow.
“Because I believe two are sufficient.”
She pursed her lips, continuing, “Is Ren not intelligent enough, or is Sera not adorable enough? Why do you always desire a third and fourth child?”
It was not the first time he had brought up the topic in front of her.

Even when they never used protection, he would express his desire for a third and fourth child.
But she truly felt they didn’t need so many children…
