Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 She Had Never Seen Him Like This Before 

After hearing Charisaa’s life story, Jacob couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow! She’s one terrifying villain if she endured the things that would have broken others.” 

“And Elvis has her daughter.” 

Lennon furrowed his brows and turned to Damien. “Do you think she would let Elvis go if Cherise begged her to release him?” 

Damien closed his eyes, deep in thought. Im not sure.” As Cherise’s husband, he didn’t want her to ever have contact with such a person. 

Cherise had been running a fever all day. When she woke up the next day, she realized she only had one day left until her final exams started. 

Cherise was overwhelmed with thoughts about finding her uncle, and she couldn’t focus on her exams. She even contemplated skipping them. 

“I don’t want to study anymore.” 

She took a deep breath and pushed the pile of revision books onto the floor, scattering them everywhere. 

In the past, her studies had always been her top priority. 

Cherise knew that getting good grades would prove to her family that she was working hard and that they didn’t need to worry about her. 

She always wanted her family to have a better life. 

When she started high school, her teacher told her she would have to study hard to escape her mediocre life and provide for her family. 

Cherise took this advice to heart, and for years, she had dedicated herself to her studies in order to give her family a better life. 

But now… 

Cherise couldn’t even protect her family, nor could she return to the family she loved. 

“Cherry!” 

Hearing the loud bang from the study, Damien burst through the door and pulled her into his embrace. “What happened?” 

His low, gentle voice brought tears to her eyes, and she struggled to maintain her composure. She bit her lip and looked directly into his eyes. “I don’t feel like studying anymore.”

“Okay.” 

Damien forced a smile and hugged her tightly. “If you don’t want to take the exam, we won’t.” 

He cupped her face, gazing intently into her eyes. “Let me show you something.” 

Cherise nodded and leaned against his chest. 

He carried her to the other side of the study and gently placed her in a chair. He opened his laptop and showed her the footage of Zachary with Elvis. 

“It’s okay if you don’t feel like taking the exam. I can take you to find Zachary right away.” 

Cherise’s eyes widened in shock as she watched the CCTV footage. 

Uncle Shaw… 

She had never seen him like this before.
