Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211 Romantic Feelings for Cherise

She was sure of it! Even if Damien had no romantic feelings for her, he certainly wouldn’t be interested in those girls who passed him notes.

“So here’s the question,” Lucy interjected while rubbing her aching stomach. “if you’re so dead set that Damien’s into you, why do you keep bickering with him? Trust issues aside, you’re his top pick, right?”
