Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Can You Treat Us to a Meal

“This is the treatment you deserve!”

Cherise rolled her eyes. She called Damien her elder brother because she didn’t want others to know she married a rich man, worrying they would treat her differently. But now… the outcome seemed to be no different.

The two girls continued chatting until they reached the classroom. Cherise opened the box and distributed the papers. “Everyone, please do your correction. I’ll collect the papers again tomorrow.”

Then, Cherise returned to her seat and packed, preparing to leave. However, to her surprise, her classmates remained seated. All eyes were on her. Cherise stopped packing her bag and asked, “Is there… anything else?”

Sunny Wood, the class monitor, stood up and cleared his throat. “Cherise, since the mid- term results are released, we’re considering going out to unwind. Maybe have a meal together or go to the karaoke.”

Startled, Cherise instinctively checked the time. She remembered Damien was going to talk business on her behalf today. She pressed her lips. “I can join, but I have to reach home by 10 p.m.”

Sunny shook his head. “Cherise, we’re not asking if you’re joining, but…”

He let out an awkward cough before continuing. “We’re all classmates. When had financial difficulties back then, all of us helped you. In the last few months, when your grandmother fell sick, we also raised funds as a class. Now that you’ve returned to your rich family, can you…”

Lucy furrowed her brows. “Are you asking Cherise to pay for you guys?”

The class fell silent while Sunny nodded. “Yes. We had to resit the paper because of Cherise’s mistake. It isn’t too much to ask for a meal, right? Moreover, given her status now, she wouldn’t care about such a small amount of money.”
