Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Luxury Shopping Scheme

Cherise furrowed her brow and scoffed, “I’m not a fan of such things and certainly wouldn’t spend my money on them.”

Her current income was enough to provide a comfortable life for her and her two children.

Wouldn’t indulging in luxury items leave her finances in a precarious state?

“Of course, I’m not suggesting you should buy anything.”

Damien lightly quirked his lips and smiled, “But to let you enjoy the shopping experience.”

“During your conversation with Ms. Lane, you mentioned that you were the heiress of the Tanner family. However, she didn’t believe you and assumed you were boasting.”

“To convincingly deceive her, indulge in luxury shopping and portray the image of a pampered heiress,” he continued.

Cherise was momentarily taken aback, but then she realized what he meant.

“She would become even more suspicious if I wandered the shops without making any purchases. It would seem like I was pretending to be wealthy.”

“Exactly.”

Damien’s smile grew wider as he suggested, “You could have also bought a high-end scarf or lipstick when you had the chance. They weren’t too expensive but could have given the impression that you were a luxury goods shopper

“This way, she will lower her guard around you.”

Cherise nodded, picked up her phone, and dialed Lucy, “Feel like going shopping?”

Lucy was in Maeve’s hospital room, talking to Charles, when Cherise’s call caught her off guard.

“Cherise, are you suggesting we go shopping during work hours?”

Cherise pursed her lips, “I’ve asked for leave from David.”

Lucy raised an eyebrow and teased, “What are you planning to buy?”

“Nothing specific; I’m just feeling down and thought some retail therapy might help.”

Lucy was puzzled by her response.

Cherise was feeling down?

Why did Cherise seem unusually happy lately?

Damien had been constantly by her side, and Lucy hadn’t seen Cherise laugh so genuinely in a long time.
