Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Why Aren’t You Home Yet?

Cherise initially wanted to turn him down, but she thought of what he had previously said and ultimately nodded in agreement.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurants near the hospital were crowded.

Ian took Cherise to a restaurant slightly further away.

The afternoon sun was blazing above them. Ian was considerate and bought an umbrella by the side of the road to shield Cherise from the sun.

“You’re so attentive, Ian.”

She smiled, feeling moved.

Ian laughed lightly. “It’s only natural to take care of you.”

The man’s words made Cherise blush.

“But why were you at the hospital?”

Ian’s distinct and bright voice was like a clear spring on a summer’s day. “You said you came with your friend last time. What about this time?”

“I came to visit my relative.”

Cherise and Ian walked under the umbrella side by side. Her heart started to beat furiously. “Ian.”

“Hmm?”

“I remember you previously told me that when you were in university, you made a lot of money from working part–time jobs, right?”

She had agreed to eat with Ian because she remembered this.

“You’re looking for a job?”

Jan laughed lightly and reached out to stroke her head. “You still work so hard.””

Cherise smiled and lied. “I want to earn money to pay for my school fees.”

The man’s brows furrowed. “You’re paying for your school fees?”

“Doesn’t your husband take care of you?”

He was startled when he found out that she had gotten married. But when he thought about it, she would have someone to take care of her after getting married. It wasn’t bad for a girl like Cherise with such a family background.

But now, she wanted to earn money to pay her school fees?

Cherise was surprised and immediately shook her head. “It’s not that he doesn’t take care of me…”

“I just want to earn money to sign up for cooking classes. I don’t want my husband to know. I want to surprise him.”

Ian’s brows slowly relaxed.
