Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Where’s Ian?

Violet clenched her fists in silent frustration.

Cherise returned to school to find Lucy lounging in the infirmary, engrossed in a phone game. She furrowed her brow and reached out to block Lucy’s phone screen. “Where’s

Ian?”

Lucy shot her a disdainful look, adjusted her phone, and continued playing. “He’s gone.”

“Just like that?” Cherise bit her lip, realizing she hadn’t thanked Ian properly for helping with her injury.

Lucy leaned back. “Well, it’s better he split than stick around and make a fool of himself. I mean, he’d never compete with me to be your kid’s godparent.”

Cherise was puzzled. “What do you mean by ‘making a fool of himself and ‘being my child’s godparent”?”

Caught off guard, Lucy cleared her throat and mumbled, “I didn’t say anything. Your must’ve misheard.”

Cherise’s intuition told her something was up between Lucy and Ian.

She snatched Lucy’s phone, demanding, “Tell me what happened!”

Lucy was annoyed at the interruption. “What’s there to explain? I got rid of that lan guy. He knew you were married but kept pestering you with his schemes.”

“Just now, Sunny’s dad lifting that chair was just a scare tactic. He rushed in and got hurt, hoping you’d feel sorry for him.”

“A conniving guy like him being gone is a win for you and Damien!” Lucy explained.

She took advantage of Cherise’s stunned state and snatched her phone back. Unfortunately, when Cherise took her phone, her in-game character had been defeated, and her opponent had wiped out her virtual crystals.

Seeing the big ‘Failed’ word on the screen, Lucy was upset and shot Cherise a resentful glance. “You owe me a game!”

“Hey, I helped you, and you delayed my game?!”

Cherise pressed her lips together.

“Lucy, you can’t talk badly about lan like that.”
