Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 747

Chapter 747 What True Love Is 

Her heart melted into a puddle from his tenderness. She bit her lip. “Damien…” 

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just, you know, we were still enemies. I would get in trouble if anyone discovered I had rushed to the scene to save you…” 

Then, she looked into his eyes and continued, “It was never my intention to deceive you.” 

“I don’t hold it against you for keeping it from me.” Damien kissed her lips, holding her tight. “It’s my fault. I should have figured out it was you…” 

He looked down, observing her earnestly. “Cherry, you have the right to punish me. Otherwise, I might… not be able to forgive my foolishness.” 

Cherise’s face flushed. She bit her lip and looked into his sincere gaze. After a moment, she smiled. “All right. I’ll think about how to punish you…” 

Damien held Cherise and patiently waited for her to issue his punishment. He had expected a severe punishment, judging from her prolonged silence. 

However, to his surprise, Cherise suddenly smiled. “Your punishment is to send Ren and Sera to school from now on!” 

Damien was momentarily stunned. He gently kissed her lips. “Okay.” 

For most parents, sending their children to school early in the morning might seem like a chore. But for Damien, it was a delight. After all, he had unwittingly missed five years of his children’s growth. 

He regretted not being more resolute back then. If only he had found her earlier… 

Unfortunately, no one can turn back time.” 

Therefore, when Cherise tasked him with sending the children to school, he smiled warmly. “Leave it to 

me.” 

Cherise nestled in Damien’s arms, basking in his warmth. Her lips unconsciously curved into a sweet 

smile. 

In truth, she felt what happened back then was her fault. Things would have been much different if she had not concealed the truth from Damien. 

Yet, Damien never held it against her. Instead, he claimed he was at fault. He blamed himself for failing to think things through and not searching for her hard enough. In other words, he blamed himself for everything. 

But what did he do wrong? 

Cherise felt she was the one truly at fault. 

Damien was likely the only man in the world who would shoulder all the blame himself out of love for her. He would never think it was her fault but regretted not discovering it sooner.

Moreover, he would never say her concealment of the matter led to their predicament. Instead, he only admitted his shortcomings and took responsibility for everything. 

Perhaps when a man loves you, he will overlook all the wrongs you’ve done. Maybe this is what true love is.
