Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386 A Distant Relative

Damien sighed. “Have you been experiencing your menstrual cycle recently? You seem to be overthinking and more anxious than usual.”

Cherise was taken aback.

Menstrual cycle…

She instinctively protected her lower abdomen with her arms. “You… you… How did you know…”

“Do you really think I have no idea what you did in the bathroom?”

Damien shook his head in resignation. “Don’t worry. Uncle Shaw will be fine.

“Even if anything happens, you have me.”

Damien took a deep breath and looked ahead. It seemed his words were not only for Cherise but for himself.

In reality, he had guessed what was going on when he saw the license plate number of the car parked in the empty lot beside Elvis’ yard.

Those two men were fit and alert. They did not look like ordinary people.

Furthermore…

Damien narrowed his eyes. He had glimpsed into the house through the rearview mirror when he started the car.

He noticed Elvis extending his hands towards the two men.

Judging from the gesture and angle, it could only mean they were putting handcuffs on his wrists.

Damien let out his breath. “Cherise, can you tell me about your uncle.”

“You mentioned he stayed in Shaw’s village for many years and never went anywhere.

“Has he ever been to the city?”

Cherise furrowed her brow and pondered. After a while, she answered, “Uncle Shaw doesn’t go to the city. He hates going there.”

“When I started university, he also didn’t send me there.”

“I think he’s only been to the city when I was six to bring me to the hospital. The only other time was when my Grandma was ill.”

Then, she looked at Damien in confusion. “Why do you ask?”

1/3

Damien’s fingers tightened on the steering wheel. “Were you ill when you were six?”

“Yes.”
