Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Letting Damien Calm Down

Cherise gave Mandy a big thumbs-up.

‘Smack!’ The sharp sound of a slap rang out.

Lucy forcefully pulled herself free from Lennon’s grip and delivered a resounding slap.

Lennon remained impassive, his eyes locked onto Lucy.

Lucy’s heart raced, her face flushed. She glared at him, her anger palpable. “You’re so sick!”

“Perhaps I am,” Lennon replied, his gaze intense, as if it could pierce through her. “I can’t stand if when you’re so close to other guys.”

His voice, typically characterized by clarity and grace, now held an added weight and seriousness. “Lulu, I don’t like people who give up so easily.”

“You told me you liked me and wanted to be with me, yet here you are, getting involved. with someone else.”

He squinted. “What do you take me for?”

Lennon assumed that even if he rejected Lucy, she would persist like other women usually did. But he never expected her to be so stoic. She didn’t even look back at him after hist rejection!

Was she this unfeeling? What right did she have to claim she liked him in the first place?

Lucy clenched her teeth, her hands forming tight fists before she released them at her sides.

“You’re out of your mind!”

With that, she shoved him aside and bolted out the door.

Lennon remained frozen in place, closing his eyes with a bitter smile.

Well, Lucy had probably casually confessed her feelings for him. He had been naive to take it seriously.

“Isn’t it risky for a young woman to be out so late?” Jacob, pretending to be concerned, looked in the direction Lucy had gone.

Lennon stood there, unmoved.
