Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 561

Chapter 561 Still The Same

Shortly after settling down, a waiter served their dishes.

Damien reclined comfortably in his plush chair, a smile playing on his lips as he surveyed the spread before him.

It was evident that Syatt had gone to great lengths to cater to Cherise’s preferences. Otherwise, the table’s array of dishes wouldn’t have perfectly aligned with her taste.

This realization prompted Damien to glance at Cherise with a subtle smile. He asked Syatt, “Did you prepare all of Cherise’s favorite dishes?”

“Absolutely!”

Syatt looked very pleased with himself. “I’ve even bribed the hospital staff to slowly discover Dr. Shaw’s favorite food.”

Damien nodded. He shifted his gaze to Cherise and remarked, “I’m surprised your preferences are still the same after all these years, Dr. Shaw.”

The underlying implication in his words wasn’t lost on Cherise.

Her face paled.

She understood that Damien had intentionally said it to ridicule her previous assertion at the Mexican restaurant that he didn’t know her.

She conceded that she hadn’t changed much in the past five years and hadn’t put on a facade in front of Damien in the past.

She had only made that statement to put some distance between them.

It unexpectedly became a tool for Damien to taunt her.

The woman coughed lightly. “I’m quite hungry. I’ll start eating.”

With her ex-husband and current suitor seated across from her, it would be a lie if Cherise said she didn’t feel uncomfortable.

The most effective way to mask her discomfort was to focus on her meal.

She began eating, disregarding any pretense of decorum.

Syatt watched Cherise eat with an adoring gaze. He sighed softly, “You look so attractive even when you’re eating, Dr. Shaw.”

Damien was dumbstruck.

He frowned and glanced at the man beside him.

Syatt seemed to look at Cherise with rose-tinted glasses. Despite Damien being Cherise’s ex-husband, Syatt seemed more infatuated with Cherise.

Damien cleared his throat and began eating. He casually asked, “How did you get to know Dr. Shaw?”

ther hospital, of course?”

Wart watched Cherise eat with a smile on his face. He said beamingly. Tve had a weak heart since I was young I underwent a heart transplant surgery six months ago, personally led by Dr Shaw, and she took care of me post-operation”

“I was hospitalized for over five months and was only discharged just two weeks ago.”

Throughout those five months. Dr. Shaw was my primary physician.”

With that, he looked at Damien smugly. “Dr. Shaw and I spent a lot of time together for more than five months. You wouldn’t understand our bond?”

“Cough, cough?”
