Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Don’t Touch Her 

Lucy glanced at Cherise and smiled bitterly. “Cherise, I…” 

She looked down and could not stop tears from falling. “I confessed my feelings, but he rejected 

me.” 

Cherise stared at Lucy in shock, unable to say anything. 

“You… You confessed to Lennon?” 

Lucy nodded. “I confessed my feelings to a guy for the first time… only to get rejected.” 

She still could not forget Lennon’s cold expression. 

He said, “I don’t like having a wide age gap, and I hate women being so forward.” 

“Ms. Staber, what do you know about me? Do you know my background? What about my personality?” 

“Besides, how can you know anything? We’ve only met twice. You only profess your love due to my looks.” 

“You’re no different from those shallow women.” 

At the time, Lucy grabbed his sleeve and desperately tried to explain, “That’s not true. I…” 

She had confirmed that Lennon had her mother’s kidney in his body. 

But… 

Lennon pushed her hand away and left without another word. 

Lucy opened a new bottle of beer as she recalled the humiliating incident. 

Cherise pursed her lips. “Lucy, don’t be sad. Lennon is actually not that nice. Furthermore…” 

She paused before continuing, “You’ve only met him twice. Are you sure… you’re in love with him?” 

Did she love him so much that she set aside her dignity and reveal her feelings to him? 

Lucy might not be the most beautiful girl on campus, but she was close enough. 

She would have tons of suitors if not for her forceful personality. 

Furthermore, she had always been serious and prudent. She would never accept someone into her heart so easily. 

1/3 

A guy in the neighboring class had to pursue her for over a year before she reluctantly added him on WhatsApp. 

Lucy was proud, yet she willingly set down her pride to confess her feelings to Lennon.. 

How could he be so stupid as to reject her? 

Cherise did not know how she could comfort Lucy.. 

She knew she was ignorant in matters of romance. 

If she didn’t have to marry Damien due to her family situation, she would probably never have considered getting into a romantic relationship. 

New World Restaurant 

“Drink with me.” 

Lucy knew what her best friend was thinking. 

She knew Cherise was sad about not knowing how to comfort her. 

However, Lucy did not want to be comforted. 

Instead, she wanted to vent her frustration. 

Cherise pursed her lips. She knew it was pointless to say anything. Thus, she could only sigh and continue drinking with Lucy. 

The two ladies ended up thoroughly wasted in New World Restaurant. 

The manager had no choice but to call Lennon. 

By the time Lennon arrived, Cherise and Lucy were slumped on each end of their table. 

Lennon frowned. He went to Lucy and carried her. “I’m sending her home.” 

The manager asked nervously, “What about… her…”
