Chapter 8 Don’t Concern Yourself About It
Tristan’s gaze made Cherise uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath and smiled politely at Tristan before pushing Damien in his wheelchair toward the house.
However, Tristan extended his arm and blocked her way as she tried to walk past him.
“Why are you so anxious to go in? Are you afraid to talk to me?”
He crossed his arms and looked at Damien with disgust and contempt. In contrast, his voice was kind, with a hint of concern. “Damien, your wife keeps avoiding me. I think she has an ulterior motive for marrying you.”
He briefly glanced at Cherise’s chest with leering eyes.
Cherise frowned and instinctively turned away.
But that only made him leer at her more daringly. His lips curved into an arrogant smirk. “Damien, Grandpa is old and might be unable to see through the tricks of young women like her. On the other hand, I have vast experience. What about this? I’ll talk to your wife privately and assess her character for you!”
Cherise tightened her grip on Damien’s wheelchair.

Although she was an orphan from the countryside, her uncle and his wife were generous to her. Thus, she grew up well and developed beautiful curves.
Although several male students ogled her body at school, she was not afraid because Lucy protected her.
However, Cherise was now in Lenoir Residence, Tristan’s territory.
Furthermore, Damien was blind and could not see how Tristan looked at her. He would also not know what Tristan would do to her if he were to permit Tristan to talk to her in private.
Cherise could not rebuff Tristan because he had not done anything out of bounds.
She bit her lip, praying that Damien would not agree to Tristan’s unreasonable request.
Damien sensed Cherise’s hands trembling behind him.
Even with the black ribbon over his eyes, he could see Tristan’s leering expression illuminated by the street lamp.
Thus, he pursed his lips and replied indifferently. “This is the first time you have shown so much concern for me after all these years. I remember when my previous fiancée died in a car accident, you said, ‘Who cares. She’s better off dead than marrying a cursed man.“”

Tristan’s expression darkened.
He cleared his throat. “It was only a joke. Damien, I offer to vet your wife out of concern for you. After all, you can only hear her voice, but…”
His gaze landed on Cherise’s trim waist before continuing, “I can see everything about her.”
He looked at Cherie with unconcealed desire. “That’s why it’s best that you allow me to examine her for you.”
Cherise’s face turned pale.
Tristan sounded sincerely concerned but looked at Damien with disdain and mockery.
How dare he accuse me of having ulterior motives?
“She is only a country bumpkin. You shouldn’t trouble yourself over her, Tristan.”
Then, Damien continued evenly, “It’s not easy for me to get a wife. I’m happy to accept her even if she approaches me ulteriorly.”
“Furthermore,” he laughed and said, “Cherise is an orphan. She’s likely jinxed, too, since she is married to a cursed man like me. It would be unfortunate if you met with a disaster after talking to her.”
Damien’s words were heavily implied with a warning.
Tristan was briefly stunned.
Thinking that Cherise could be cursed like Damien, Tristan stepped back and turned the other way, not daring to look at her again.
He was not usually superstitious, but it was better to be safe than sorry regarding such things.
Damien wanted to laugh as he looked at Tristan’s expression. “We will head in first.”
Cherise breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the wheelchair through the gate.
As she walked past Tristan, she felt a sudden pain in her butt. It felt like someone pinched her.
A wave of disgust filled her. She recklessly rushed ahead, pushing Damien into the residence’s compound.
Cherise only dared to pause once they reached a small garden. However, she was still afraid.
She did not expect to experience sexual harassment for the first time at the hands of her husband’s cousin.
Worse, it was right outside his grandfather’s house.

“Is something wrong?” Damien asked with a frown,
“No, it’s nothing.”
Although he is disabled and is regarded as cursed by others, I would never be able to find enough money to treat Grandma’s illness without his help. He saved my Grandma. Why would I regret marrying someone who saved her?
