Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Thank You 

Their eyes met, and he gave her a slight smile. Cherise felt a little rush, quickly shifting her gaze 

away. 

Sitting at the dining table, Damien mentioned, “This place is nothing like Lenoir Manor; it’s pretty remote, with no public transport around and hardly any cabs.” He continued, “come join. me for breakfast. I’ll give you a lift afterward.” 

Cherise pursed her lips and didn’t intend to pay him much attention. “Even if there are few taxis, I’ll wait by the roadside, and I’m sure I’ll eventually catch one!” 

Damien chuckled, “But your backpack is in my car.” 

Cherise was taken aback. She shot him a glare. “Don’t think I can’t go to school just because I don’t have my backpack!” 

Trying to make things right with me this way without explaining the situation and an apology? Not a 

chance! 

“Fine, you can go to school without a backpack. 

“While I don’t just have your backpack in the car, I also have your textbooks, class notes for today, and the holiday homework you’ve been asked to hand in today.” 

This time, Cherise was left with no choice. 

Lennon quietly gave Damien a thumbs-up. This guy is incredibly thorough and thick-skinned! 

Cherise pursed her lips, feeling somewhat resigned. She made her way back to the dining table to finish her breakfast. After noticing her slightly messy hair, Damien said. “You might want to brush. your teeth, wash your face, and tie up your hair.” 

Cherise was puzzled by his sudden instructions. It dawned on her that she had woken up in a bit of a panic, thinking she had slept the night with Lennon after a round of drinks, so she hurried out without freshening up! 

Cherise’s face flushed as she hurried to the bathroom. 

Lennon couldn’t help but admire Damien. “So, I heard your Cherry has been playing the active role of a caregiver to you?” 

How did the roles get reversed? Seems like she’s the one getting taken care of now, and the typically proud Damien is… like a father taking care of the child. 

Damien raised an eyebrow at him. “Don’t you have anyone looking out for you?” 

Lennon was taken aback. Why single out the single folks? 

1/2 

Dejected, Lennon briefly embraced Blake, his fellow single comrade who was busy eating. I can take care of Blake!” 

The young man widened his eyes and fought to escape. “No thanks!” 

Lennon was left momentarily speechless. 

After freshening up, Cherise emerged from the bathroom. The other three were already seated at the dining table, leaving an empty spot across from Damien, which she reluctantly occupied 

The man across from her slid a plate of food in her direction. “Dig in while it’s still hot.” 

Cherise shot him a glance, but she wasn’t about to forgive him just because he was being thoughtful. Nevertheless, she hadn’t eaten much the previous night and had been hungry. 

As she tasted the food, it turned out to be genuinely delicious.
