My Blind Husband novel (Damien and Cherie) novel Chapter 699

"Haven't you been taught any common courtesy and chivalry by Dame?" Cherise asked, surprised by Blake's lack of understanding.

Blake shook his head earnestly. "Dame never taught me these things because he spends all his time missing you and thinking about you only."

Cherise was left speechless by the unexpected revelation.

She noticed that as Blake mentioned Damien's affection and preoccupation with her, Rowena subtly stiffened, a flicker of emotion crossing her face.

With a resigned sigh, Cherise waved at Blake. "You should go upstairs first. Take a moment to calm down, and remember to always be gentle with girls in the future."

Blake nodded solemnly, then sprang up with impressive agility, grabbing the rope hanging from the second-floor railing and swiftly ascending.

Cherise watched him go with a resigned smile. Such a mischievous little monkey!

Meanwhile, Ursula continued to sob uncontrollably in Rowena's arms, her cries increasing in volume and becoming increasingly disruptive.

Cherise was on the verge of reaching into her bag for earplugs. Even if she shielded her ears from the noise, Aunt Sarah in the kitchen would still be disturbed, wouldn't she?

Finally, sighing softly, Cherise spoke gently but firmly. "Are you aware that your sister is still unwell? If you keep wailing like this, it might send her back to the emergency room in no time."

Ursula's sobs finally subsided at Cherise's words. She whimpered in Rowena's arms, "Sis, she had the boy attack me!"

Rowena averted her gaze, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "Dame was... simply trying to lift my spirits. I was feeling down at the time due to my illness and inability to walk. He... he was trying to cheer me up and nothing more."

Cherise's patience began to wear thin, and she frowned. "While I appreciate your visit and attempt to explain, Ms. Mortis, I have pressing matters to attend to. Please excuse me, as I am unable to see you out."

With that, she rose and walked towards the kitchen, confident she had made her point.

However, as she reached the doorway, a faint voice stopped her.

Turning, Cherise saw Rowena standing, desperation welling in her eyes, and whispered," Ms. Shaw, I… I believe you may have lingering misunderstandings about me. Uh… Did you not just invite me to stay for dinner?"
