Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 The Dilemma

“Lucy and her father are close. If Mr. Staber dislikes you, your relationship with Lucy is over!”

Rodney was taken by surprise. He did not expect the usually absent-minded Cherise to understand the situation so well.

He pursed his lips. “Sure, I’ll wait for your news,”

After hanging up, Cherise got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She pondered on the matter as she washed her face.

If I’m not mistaken, I drank with Lucy last night.

Lucy drank a lot. I did the same, too.

I don’t remember how I got back.

Cherise looked down at her nicely buttoned pajamas.

Could Damien have carried me home last night?

Who else is patient enough to help me change into my pajamas?

She was warmed by the thought and headed to the study.

The morning light shone in from the window behind Damien, surrounding him with a golden

halo.

He sat down comfortably, reading a document.

When Cherise opened the door, he looked up with deep-set and unfathomable eyes. However, those eyes immediately crinkled with delight the instant he recognized Cherise.

“You’re awake.”

His voice was deep and charming.

Cherise pursed her lips and nodded. “Yes, I’m awake.”

“Did you bring me home last night?”

Damien nodded and waved his hand. “Come here.”

Cherise approached him tentatively and sat on his lap.

Damien embraced her and kissed her cheek. “Of course, it was me. Who else would bring you

home?”
