Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669 Are You An Angel? 

An array of red wines and spirits adorned the coffee table. 

Once the hotel staff left, Damien finally released Cherise and asked, “Which one would you like to drink?” 

Cherise was momentarily stunned, realizing that Damien wanted her to drown her sorrows in alcohol. She didn’t object to the idea. 

Taking a deep breath, she replied, “I don’t mind having a drink. But Damien, this doesn’t mean my medical career is over. Instead… I’m embarking on a new journey!” 

Seeing her maintain a tough facade, Damien smiled and gently poured her a drink. “Here you go.” 

Cherise sat up straight on the couch and accepted the red wine he offered before downing it in one gulp. 

Silently, Damien poured her a second glass, then a third, a fourth… 

Eventually, Cherise became so intoxicated that she slumped into Damien’s arms, giggling. “Tell me, what kind of job can I do? I’m not very clever. What else can I do if I can’t be a doctor?” 

“I once considered becoming a lawyer, but I’m terrible at debating. Besides, I’m not very intelligent.” 

“What do you think I could do? Do you think I would make a decent nanny?” 

Damien furrowed his brow at the sight of Cherise’s drunken state. 

He tenderly pulled her into his arms. “Work can wait. You should take a break first.” 

“Remember? You promised that if I helped you resolve the issues with Martha and Isaac, you would let the two children accompany me for a while.” 

Cherise gazed at him and nodded. “Yes, I made that promise!” 

Damien smiled and continued, “Are you comfortable with the children traveling to Adania. with me?” 

Cherise pondered briefly before shaking her head firmly. “No, I’m not.” 

Damien sighed helplessly as he observed her. After all these years, Cherise only resembled the girl he had first met when she was drunk.

Over the years, she must have learned many ways to protect herself. But how could she have anticipated that Gwenn would follow her to Lermille? 

“If you’re worried…” 

Damien cunningly retrieved his phone and activated the recording function before asking gently, “Cherise, if you’re concerned about the children traveling long distances… Why don’t you come to Adania with us? You can join in the fun and keep an eye on us. How does that 

sound?” 

Cherise held a bottle of wine, thought for a moment, and finally nodded. “Okay.”
