Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 An Enemy’s Enemy

“Oh, Hubby, why did you lie to the teacher?” Cherise couldn’t help but complain when they arrived downstairs. She knew her teacher was simple-minded, except when he was solving math equations.

“Cherry.” Damien called out to her with a smile.

“We’re not bookworms! We study diligently!”

“Are you only diligent when it comes to study?

Her lips trembled. “Mr. Lenoir, she’s…”

“She’s my wife. But I’ve said that I don’t need your apology.” Frowning, Damien patted Cherise’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Cherise hummed in response and wheeled Damien to the exit.

Cherise calmly pushed Damien forward and was puzzled. “Hubby, who is she?”
