Chapter 771-780

Marrying the Man in the Dark Chapter 771- Pierogi Or Yourself Cherise was filled with excitement as she nestled in Damien’s arms, eager to inquire about his plans. Unbeknownst to her, the car had come to a stop. “Alright, time to get out,” Damien said, amused by Cherise’s enthusiasm. He playfully tweaked her nose. “Are you hungry?” Surprised by his question, Cherise instinctively glanced out of the car window, only to realize they had parked in front of a restaurant. The signboard read, ‘Ziphon’s Famous Seared Trout.’ Seared trout! Just the sight of those words sent her into a frenzy of excitement. Cherise passionately kissed Damien’s cheek before hastily exiting the car. “Seared trout, here I come!” She was in high spirits and determined to indulge in a feast. However, Cherise did not anticipate that, apart from seared trout, every other dish in this restaurant was spicy. Damien couldn’t handle spicy food. She vividly remembered how Damien had made himself ill by consuming spicy food when they were in Lermille. Cherise pursed her lips and hesitated. “Shall we go somewhere else?” She recalled that neither she nor Damien ate much at Miles Manor. Damien only had a few bites. Although she loved seared trout, it didn’t feel right to enjoy food while he could only watch. “It’s okay,” Damien reassured her, ruffling her hair. He then ordered the food Cherise liked. “Do you have a non-spicy side dish?” The waiter was surprised but quickly nodded. “We do…” “Bring me one of your non-spicy side dishes,” Damien said with a smile, returning the menu to the waiter. “Please hurry. My wife is hungry.” The waiter had overheard Cherise’s words and knew Damien couldn’t handle spicy food. But since Cherise loved spicy food, he was willing to endure eating a bland side dish to keep her happy. Realizing this, the waiter sighed. “What a fortunate wife.” “Hurry up,” Damien said, waving his hand. “If my wife changes her mind, you won’t be able to earn my money.” The waiter immediately dashed off to prepare the food. Cherise pursed her lips and looked at Damien with a hint of helplessness. “Why are you torturing yourself like this? We can go to another place. This isn’t the only place that serves seared trout.” “But this place has the best seared trout in Ziphon,” Damien replied, smiling as he poured a glass of water for Cherise. We don’t come here often. I want you to taste the best.” Cherise blushed at his affectionate tone. She pursed her lips, accepted the glass he offered, and smiled shyly. “We’ll eat what you like tomorrow.” “Sure.” Damien said, smiling at her. “But what I like to eat isn’t found in a restaurant. I enjoyed your handmade pierogi.” “Il make them for you often!” Cherise said, looking at him shyly. “Let me know whenever you want them. I’ll make them for you.” Damien glanced at her body, his eyes gleaming with desire. “Are you offering me pierogi… or yourself?” Cherise was stunned. She blushed and glared at him. “You’re not serious!” But cream cake is also an option,” Damien added. Cherise was rendered speechless. Memories of him licking frosting off her body replayed in her mind. Her cheeks turned even redder. Soon, the waiter served the food. Seeing Cherise’s flushed face, the waiter suggested thoughtfully, “Ma’am, would you like me to turn on the air conditioning?” Cherise was stunned. What air conditioning?

Marrying the Man in the Dark Chapter 772-’m Insignificant Have they never seen someone blush before?

Cherise had just enjoyed a particularly delightful and satisfying meal, After dinner, she and Damien returned to their hotel when her phone rang. It was Lyra calling.

“Cherise, what should I do?” Lyra’s voice was tearful on the other end of the line. “Zachary’s sister, Kareen, won’t let me stay by his side to take care of him.” “She called me clingy and told me to go away. She even said I’m not good enough for her brother…” Lyra was on the verge of tears. “I’ve been the one taking care of Zachary since he got injured. It’s been over an hour since I last saw him, and I feel so lost…” “I’m worried that the caregiver his sister hired won’t take proper care of him… Cherise, what should I do…” “Lyra, take a deep breath,” Cherise responded calmly. “First, tell me, what is your exact relationship with Zachary?” There was a pause on the other end of the line. “What… what do you mean?” “Are you two really engaged?” Cherise voiced the doubt she had been having for a while.

Lyra constantly claimed to be engaged to Zachary, and Zachary himself had said that he was bringing his fiancée to Adania. However, Lyra wasn’t acting like his fiancée.

For example, she didn’t defend herself when Kareen made derogatory remarks about her at the airport. And now, she had been dismissed by Kareen.

“I…” Lyra’s voice was faint. “Of course we are…” “Lyra, I can only help you if you’re honest with me.” Cherise spoke softly, “If I find out that you’re lying to me, I won’t be able to help you properly.” There was a long silence on the other end of the line. After a while, Lyra finally sighed. “Cherise, where are you? I’ll come to you.” In a coffee shop on the ground floor of the hotel, Lyra sat across from Cherise. “Cherise, I didn’t lie to you. We’re really engaged…” Her body was tense, and she nervously held onto her coffee cup. “But…” “But there’s no love between us.” The young girl looked down, slightly distressed. “No, that’s not right. He doesn’t have any feelings for me.” “I was the only one who truly cared for him from the beginning.” The girl looked up at Cherise with her bright eyes. “Cherise, do you know what it feels like to love someone who doesn’t love you back?” “I was afraid to approach him and get close to him. I also knew that he would never feel the same way about me. But I still wanted to watch him from a distance, secretly comfort him when he’s hurt, take care of him when he’s drunk, and leave before he wakes up.” “That’s what I’ve been doing all these years.” Lyra’s delicate fingers were wrapped around the coffee cup, Zachary is my senior. I’ve always admired him, but he’s too remarkable. He shines wherever he goes.
