Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 He is the Best Husband! 

Jacob was blown away when he saw the red handprint on the right side of Cressa’s face. He was confident that it was Cherise’s handprint based on the size of the petite palm size. 

Cherise may look innocent, but she is a fighter when needed. I wish I had half the courage she had. 

“Are you here to bail Cherise out?” Cressa’s voice cut through his reverie like a hot knife. through butter. 

“Who are you to Cherise?” Cressa grinned to herself as if she uncovered a shameful secret. 

“Isn’t Cherise married to that blind guy? Why isn’t he here to bail her out? The only reason I can think of is…” Cressa paused for effect. 

Jacob could almost feel Cressa’s gaze run up and down his body. 

“Perhaps you’re Cherise’s toy?” 

Cherise, who heard the preposterous remark, clenched her fists in frustration. 

However, Jacob snickered at Cressa. “You’re being nonsensical, young lady.” 

“Am I?” Cressa whispered menacingly as she slowly approached Jacob and Cherise. “I wondered how you could be so happy married to a blind man. I should’ve guessed that you had a backup plan. I’ve underestimated you. What a rich life you live! The blind one lavishing you with riches, and this one satisfies you physically.” 

Cherise stared daggers at the other woman. 

She was the quiet and studious type in school, and her classmates thought she was just a country bumpkin with a knack for scoring good exam scores. 

She always thought that the world was harmonious and friendly. 

Her eyes were open to the cruel world now that she had encountered Cressa. 

Why does she have to insinuate that Jacob and I are together? Can’t we be friends? Cherise thought but was quickly interrupted by a shrick. 

“Ew! That’s disgusting!” 

An older woman, who was with Cressa, scrunched her face as if she smelt something. pungent. Even though Rhonda did not know Cherisa well, she took her daughter’s word ast 

truth.

“You could never judge a book by its cover. Who would’ve thought such an innocent- looking lady could do such a despicable thing!” 

Cherise closed her eyes tiredly. She never thought that random strangers would jump to conclusions about her based on a few off-handed remarks, but she was sadly wrong. 

“Correct me if I was wrong, but I believe you’re Randall Lyes’ wife, and the young woman here is his daughter?” Jacob enquired as he discreetly removed his phone from his pocket, secretly turning on the recording app. 

“Hah! I guess you’re not as foolish as I thought you were! Then you should know you don’t want to be on my bad side.” 

“I’m not a dummy like Cherise here. She thought she could do whatever she liked after she married that blind guy. I don’t care if he’s a Lenoir. He’s just a figurehead he doesn’t even take care of his own family!” 

Cherise felt her blood boiling to his face when she heard what Cressa said about her husband, but thankfully, Jacob stopped her before she could rush at Cressa. 

“You were calmer when she said some nasty things about you. However, you were enraged when they insulted Damien, weren’t you?”
