Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 554 Revelations Over Spicy Delights

Despite being best friends with Cherise, Lucy had mixed feelings about Damien. However, she was willing to set them aside for now.

“As long as you’re happy.”

“Lulu, let’s discuss this later,” Cherise said, her voice filled with unease as they left the hospital.

Stepping out into the sunlight, Damien, dressed in a striking white suit trimmed with gold, approached Cherise’s crimson BMW.

Cherise followed him with a frown, “Mr. Lenoir, if you’re paying, why am I driving?”

“I’m unfamiliar with the area.”

Cherise sighed, admitting that it was her oversight.

Cherise took a deep breath. “What would you like to eat, Mr. Lenoir?”

“Your call, lunch is on me anyway.”

“Just choose a place you like.”

Cherise asked skeptically, narrowing her eyes. “Really?”

“Absolutely.”
