Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 11 You Sleepwalked Here

Damien’s smile appeared soft and seductive under the moonlight.

Cherise pursed her lips and felt her cheeks heating up. “Check them…”

“I’ll check them when we get home.”

She suddenly gasped. “I was only bluffing in Lenoir Residence…. He’s much stronger than me. How can I win against him in a fight? I don’t have the power to make him stop bullying you.”

Cherise looked down at her bare feet. “But… I can bring you to escape with me. I can run quite

fast.”

Damien could not help but laugh when he saw her serious expression. “Are you planning to run away with me every time?”

“Yes.”

Cherise nodded, but she realized something and shook her head. “I won’t keep running. I will be able to protect you once I get stronger.”

Damien glanced at her under the moonlight and smiled. “Sure, I’ll wait for you to become stronger.”

“Okay!”

Cherise clenched her fists. Her face was flushed.

She patted her cheeks and looked at the dark and empty road. “We might not be able to get home tonight.”

I damaged my shoes while using it to hit Tristan. I can’t walk home barefoot while pushing Damien in his wheelchair. It’s too far.

Damien smiled and said, “Close your eyes and count to ten. I will figure out a way then.”

Cherise pursed her lips. “This is not the time for jokes.”

“You can give it a try. Then, you will find out whether I was joking.”

“I’m not a kid.”

Cherise pouted and rolled her eyes, but she still closed her eyes as he asked and began to count.

“One, two, three…”

Her voice sounded bright and pure in the night.

Damien could not stop looking at her through the black silk cloth over his eyes.

He did not notice that his gaze had turned unusually gentle at this moment.

“Eight, nine, ten!”

Cherise opened her eyes immediately at the count of ten.

A car shone so brightly in the distance that Cherise could not open her eyes.

The said car stopped before her and Damien a few seconds later.
