Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 982 Venturing Out

Inhaling deeply, she rose from her seat, resolved to seek some fresh air.

She couldn’t continue to stagnate like this!

Remaining cooped up at home lost in her thoughts, felt suffocating, like a surefire path to insanity!

Frances furrowed her brow, voicing her concerns, “Madam, Mr. Lenoir advised against venturing out casually… it’s too risky outside…”

Cherise pursed her lips, glancing towards Blake perched on the second–floor railing, “But he’ll accompany me. That should be alright, right?”

Blake raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. “Going out?” he echoed before promptly leaping down from the second floor. “Sure!”

Ever since Cherise lost her memory, Damien had insisted she remain confined at home.

Frances interjected, standing in the doorway with arms outstretched, attempting to dissuade Cherise, “Perhaps it’s best if you reconsider, Madam… It’s too perilous outside…”

Frances seemed to believe that Cherise didn’t fully grasp the severity of the situation.

And others harbor ill intentions, seeking to cause you harm.”
