Chapter 194 Let’s Make a Bet
“Let’s bet on Damien’s eyesight if he’s truly blind. If he’s genuinely blind and we’ve been wrong. I’ll never utter a negative word about your husband again. However, if his eyesight is perfect, it proves he’s been lying to you. Promise me you won’t forgive someone who’s been dishonest with you.”
Taken aback by his audacious proposal, Cherise involuntarily loosened her grip on the coffee cup.
“I don’t think so, lan.”
There’s no point in taking such a bet.
However, Ian appeared resolute in his determination to reveal Damien’s true colors.
“I don’t need anything else from you, Cherry. This is the only and final request I make of you.”
Cherise pursed her lips worriedly.
I firmly believe that Damien wouldn’t lie to me, regardless.
She let out the breath she’d been holding. “Fine, then. Let’s do that.”
Even though she didn’t understand why Ian insisted on a losing bet, she agreed out of respect for
him.
It was raining by the time she made her way back. Still, she took a detour to the supermarket to buy some fish.
By the time she got home, Jacob had already left while Mr. Hampson was giving instructions to
the maids.
“Welcome back, Madam,” he greeted her with a smile.
Her brows furrowed together when she saw the maids changing their uniforms and leaving. “Why are they leaving so early today?”
He explained with a smile, “Mr. Lenoir wants some private time tonight. There’s something he wants to discuss with you. So, I dismissed everyone earlier.”
With that, he noticed the fish in her hands. “Dinner is already ready; Frances and the rest have already left. I think it’s better to put the fish in the freezer for tomorrow.”
There was a moment of pause as she took in the situation before shaking her head. “It’s fine. I can cook it myself. It won’t take long.”
With that, she headed to the kitchen. Mr. Hampson watched as she tied her hair up and started cooking, shaking his head in response.
