Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Do You Like How I Look 

I’ve never seen her make this kind of mistake. 

Cherise pursed her lips and answered awkwardly, “I closed my eyes just now…” 

Damien paused in astonishment. “Why did you close your eyes?” 

Cherise began to blush. “I…” 

“I saw how well you cut the steak, and I wanted to understand what it’s like to do it without sight.” 

After saying that, she was so embarrassed that she wished the floor would swallow her. 

No wonder Damien called me dumb. What I did… was quite stupid. 

She thought Damien would laugh at how silly she was. 

However, she did not hear any laughter. 

Instead, Damien gently caressed her hair. “Cherise.” 

“Yes?” 

“You don’t have to understand how I feel. You only have to take care of yourself.” 

Cherise pursed her lips and looked at him earnestly. “No, I don’t matter. I want to take care of you.” 

Her voice and gaze were full of determination and stubbornness. 

Damien chuckled and began to bandage her wound. “You must make sure you’re safe and healthy before you can take care of me.” 

Cherise considered and nodded. “I understand.” 

She seemed so docile that she reminded him of a little girl. 

He smiled and focused on bandaging her wound. 

Cherise sat on the couch and observed him. 

He dressed her wound with practiced hands and could accurately find where her injury 

was.

Cherise bit her lip and hesitated before saying, “Dear.” 

“Yes?” 

“You… can see, right?” 

Silence fell between them. 

Damien was stumped briefly. Then, he cleared his throat and said, “You’re right. I can see. 

now.” 

There was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice. “Perhaps I was too anxious. I recover my sight briefly when I get too nervous.” 

Cherise widened her eyes. She never knew this could happen. 

Then, she recalled what Jacob had said at the police station. 

He said Damien had surgery and could regain his sight. 

Does this mean the surgery works? 

No matter the reason, he can see now. I’m so glad! 

Cherise removed her hand from his hold and urgently held his face. “Dear, can you see 

me?” 

Her eyes glimmered like crystals under the light. They were full of anticipation and excitement. 

Damien nodded. “Yes, I can.” 

Then, Cherise blushed and stammered. “Do… you like how I look?” 

Isn’t this his first time seeing me? 

I’m so glad that I dressed up to celebrate his birthday. 

Otherwise, he would be disappointed if he saw how dull I look without makeup. 

Damien chuckled and gently pinched her soft cheek. “I like it.” 

In the next second, Cherise excitedly flung herself into Damien’s embrace. “Dear, I’m so happy!”
