Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Make a Wish 

Damien’s gloom could not help but fade as he looked at her happy smile. 

Furthermore, her words were like a comforting blanket shrouding his heart. 

Damien’s eyes were fiery beneath the black ribbon. “But I don’t want to celebrate my birthday.” 

“That’s your problem. I want to celebrate it for you. It’s my choice.” 

Cherise pursed her lips and carefully brought the box of cake to him, opening it before 

him. 

Damien narrowed his eyes. 

He was shocked. It was not only because she got the cake from the same shop his sister did. It was also because of the words written on it. 

It was evident that the writer was not used to writing with icing. 

The handwriting was slanted and wobbly. It looked like the handwriting of a child learning to write. 

Moreover, the words were not birthday wishes. 

Instead, what was written was a vow. I’ll protect Damien all my life! 

The signature was Cherise’s. 

Damien imagined Cherise standing before the cake. He could see her earnest expression as she wrote one stroke after another. 

His eyes flickered with conflicting emotions. 

Cherise only knew him to be blind. 

Yet, she arranged a candlelit dinner and wore her most beautiful dress. She even wrote her vow on the birthday cake. 

He was sure she wrote those words not for him but for herself. 

It was a vow and a promise. 

“Dear, time to blow the candle!” 

1/3 

When Damien was in a daze, Cherise had placed a candle with the word ’26’ on the cake. 

She carefully lit the candle and said, “You can make a wish before you blow the candle.” 

Damien’s deep voice remained indifferent. “What does the cake look like?” 

Cherise glanced at the messy handwriting on the cake. She coughed softly and lied, “It… looks like the cake you had previously. I asked the owner to make the cake you liked before!” 

Damien squinted his eyes. “What’s written on it?! 

“It…” 

“What’s written on it?” 

It 

Cherise’s face had turned red. She turned away. Her breathing quickened. “It says “happy birthday. What else can it be?” 

Initially, she wanted to write happy birthday. 

But the cake shop owner said if the cake was for someone important to her, she should write what she most wanted to tell the person. 

It was because “happy birthday’ was something anyone could 

say. 

Cherise had thought for a long time and felt what Damien needed was not her birthday. wish. 

Instead, he required her promise. 

Thus, she decided to write those words on the cake.
