Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 A Coincidence 

He didn’t have any problems eating before she suggested feeding him

After Cherise was done serving and feeding Damien, she received a call from Eriana before she could wash the dishes

Cherise, I’m not trying to rush you. You inust be more sincere if you want me to keep your secret. Don’t tell me you’ll delay giving me even the three thousand?” 

Eriana started urging Cherise for money once the call was answered

This time, her tone was harsher than last night. From the looks of it, Eriana was up to something

Cherise pursed her lips and glanced at Damien as he sat on the living room couch and listened to the news. Aunt Eriana, you’re being too impatient.” 

I’m not free in the morning. I’ll come and look for you in the afternoon.” 

Don’t worry. I’ll keep my word. I won’t shortchange you. I’ll give you three thousand, but if you don’t help me keep my secret, I won’t give you anything.” 

On the other end of the phone, Eriana snorted coldly. If I don’t get the money today, you can explain it to your grandmother yourself by her bed!” 

I’ll tell her you married a blind, disabled man for her sake!” 

Cherise’s head hurt. She massaged the bridge of her nose. Wait for me to come and give it to you in the afternoon.” 

Cherise was an orphan adopted by Elvis, while Eriana was Mary’s biological daughter

But Eriana threatened Cherise with Mary’s health at a time like this

Cherise was experiencing the cruelty and indifference of humanity

After her morning classes ended, she turned down Lucy’s invitation to eat lunch. She took a bus alone to the hospital Nicky was at

The hospital Nicky was in was where Cherise had previously met Ian

When Cherise went to the hospital room to give Eriana the money, Eriana was feeding Nicky

Eriana’s face turned cold when she saw Cherise. Why did you take so long? I thought you weren’t coming.” 

Cherise smiled demurely. “I had classes in the morning, so I was busy.” 

You sound like you’re very hardworking.” 

Eriana rolled her eyes and put the cutlery down. She turned and left with Cherise

Lying on the hospital bed, Nicky looked startled since Cherise entered. From the looks of it, Blake had beaten him up severely

Cherise could tell that was the case since he didn’t dare to tell Eriana that he was beaten up because of Cherise

When Cherise turned, she deliberately smiled at Nicky

He shrank, and the stew in his hands spilled

Where’s the money?” 

After leaving the hospital room, Eriana didn’t hide her feelings about Cherise. Quickly give it to 

me.” 

Cherise could only give Eriana the envelope with three thousand. Aunt Eriana, you must keep your word.” 

Eriana rolled her eyes. As long as you give me money on time, I’ll keep my mouth shut in front of your grandmother!” 

After that, she secretly glanced at Cherise

Cherise married a wealthy man but is reluctant to give me money when I ask her for it

After giving Eriana the money, Cherise didn’t have anything else to say to Eriana, so she picked up her bag and left

When she passed the lounge on the first floor, she bumped into Ian, whom she hadn’t met in a long time
