Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178 Accidental Mishap
Damien sighed in defeat and stomped downstairs. Guess what he found? Colin and Mandy were locked in a heated confrontation, their voices rising in anger. The air crackled with tension, threatening to erupt into a full-blown brawl.

Colin's face looked like it was gonna explode. "There's no freakin' way I can explain this! Lennon already thinks I'm a walking red flag. He must have thought I was out screwing around when he heard you answer my phone! Now I'm screwed! Thanks a lot!"

"Dude, I told you it was a complete accident! Plus, you're single, right? So what's the big deal even if you did hook up with someone?" Mandy retorted, grabbing a pillow and practically strangling it. "He's just bitter because he can't get laid himself. Who does he think he is, your love dictator? That's messed up!"

Colin's face went from red to redder. "I'm not single! I'm married! Married to Lucy!" he practically yelled.

Mandy stopped dead in her tracks, jaw on the floor. "Wait. Did... did you already fall for Lucy?"

Colin's outburst was uncharacteristic, and Mandy couldn't help but piece together the puzzle.

Why else would Colin be so worked up about this matter? He wouldn't be so bothered and stressed about his marriage to Lucy if he didn't have feelings for her.

Mandy's words were a reality check for Colin. The realization hit him like a slap in the face. The flush that had dominated his features moments ago drained away, replaced by a somber expression.

A bit awkwardly, he turned his head. "Who said I liked Lucy?"

Mandy pouted. "Hmph! Deny all you want! I've known it for a while now. You like Lucy, don't you?"

Colin gave a slight, awkward cough. "You misunderstood."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to leave but then saw Damien standing by the stair railing.

A faint hint of awkwardness crossed Colin's face before he turned and walked away.
