Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 A Man of Honor 

Yes.” 

Cherise raised her head and smiled at Lila. I will do my best.” 

She dipped her hand into the cold water and wiped it across her forehead, summoning the energy to continue

But the cold water only worked for a short time

After that, she placed pins into her pocket. Anytime she nodded off, they would jab her awake

She spent the entire afternoon in a daze

When it was time to leave, she ran into Ian as usual

You haven’t had your dinner yet, right?” 

Ian furrowed his forehead while looking at Cherise, exhausted in his passenger seat. I’ll buy you a meal.” 

She shook her head. Please just send me home, Ian. He’s probably waiting for me to have dinner together.” 

Cherise felt overwhelmed when she remembered that Damien would be waiting for her to feed and bathe him

He’s waiting to have dinner together

Ian’s hand on the steering wheel paused when Cherise said those words

He looked at her pale face with an aching heart. Is it worth it to work yourself this hard?” 

From his perspective, Cherise should have an easy life since she married a rich man

Don’t people say that older menusually treat their wives better?Can it be that he refused to give her money? Is he abusing her

There’s nothing that is not worth it.” 

She leaned her head against the headrest. She had no energy to speak anymore, much less argue with Ian. I’m exhausted, Ian. Let me take a nap.” 

She shut her eyes and immediately drifted off

She was drained

She did not have enough rest. With the labor she had done in the sanatorium, she was ready to 

drop at any time

Ian peeked through the rearview mirror. The tired woman’s face left a sour taste in his mouth

When he arrived at the crossroad to Swan Lake Chateau, he made up his mind and drove in the opposite direction

The old man is not worth Cherise’s efforts. It’s pretty late, yet the man doesn’t bother to call her. I’m not surprised if he has a lover somewhere. He probably doesn’t care about Cherise at all

He felt more at ease with these thoughts

He turned the wheel and drove straight toward the direction of his apartment

If the old man were not willing to treasure her, he would

Cherise was a naïve, simple, and lovely woman. She should be with an outstanding young man like him
