Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549 Rekindled Sparks

“I remember…

A gentle smile graced Cherise’s face as she spoke to Damien, recalling a memory from five years ago. “Mr. Lenoir, your investment in my hometown was a kind gesture that earned my admiration and led me to dedicate myself to you completely.”

“Are you expecting the same devotion from me now, Mr. Lenoir, employing the same strategy as before?”

“No.”

Damien’s deep, dark eyes narrowed as he looked at Cherise intently. “I simply want to express that I am now fully and wholeheartedly devoted to you.”

A silence fell over the room.

Caught off guard, Cherise instinctively took a step back.

Five years had passed.

They had faced so many challenges together.

Yet, as Damien declared his devotion, her heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

Taking a deep breath, she tightly gripped the sleeve of her white coat.

After a moment, Cherise’s heart calmed

Damien noticed her flushed face, a smug smile playing on his lips.

Despite her outward coldness, she was still affected by him.

Why else would a mere declaration stir her, causing her cheeks to redden and her heart to flutter?

Tsk, tsk, such a contradictory woman.

With a sly smile, Damien stepped into the elevator. Didn’t you mention that you had a friend’s clothes for me to change into?”

“Let’s go.”

His deep, resonant voice brought Cherise back to reality.

She pursed her lips, cleared her throat, composed herself, and followed him into the elevator.

The doors closed.

In the confined space, only Cherise and Damien remained.

Damien’s familiar yet unfamiliar masculine scent made Cherise’s breathing falter.

She turned away, hiding her flushed face, and began to scold herself.

But she could hardly keep herself together!
