Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 She’s Not a Fool 

I’m cheating on Damien and am having an ambiguous relationship with Ian? What nonsense is she talking about? 

“Oh, I should thank you for looking out for me then.” 

Lila was delighted. “No worries, Mr. Lenoir. As long as you can see Cherise’s true color.” 

Damien narrowed his eyes and wore a faint smile. “Blake.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

“Rip her mouth off.” 

Lila lifted her head in shock, thinking she misheard Damien. 

The young man in blue strode over to Lila, lifted her face, and slapped her emphatically. Instantly, Lila had a dizzy spell. She looked at Damien in confusion. “Mr. Lenoir, I… I was just trying to help you!”

lan was utterly disappointed as he witnessed the scene from afar. He had known Lila for some time and had become close to her since she started working in the sanatorium. He never expected that she would say anything to defend herself at this crucial moment. 

He looked at Cherise, who was in Damien’s arms. Given how brutal Damien is, he’ll treat Cherise the same way later as the way he treated Lila! 

Out of concern for Cherise, Ian pressed his lips and walked up to explain to Damien. “Mr. Lenoir, there’s nothing between Cherise and I

Secing lan siding with Cherise, Lila became even more furious. She gnashed her teeth in resentment and couldn’t be bothered with her previous feelings for lan. At that moment, the most important thing was to survive! 

“How is that possible? I’ve seen you send her home every day. Not only that, you always find excuses to get close to her and even hug her!” 

Ian frowned. “It’s just my one-sided love for Cherise.” 

Cherise was astounded. Did I hear it wrongly? Ian… likes me?
