Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121 Practically a Stranger
Colin frowned as he closed the door, lowering his voice, "Why didn't you lock the door?"

They were in a sham marriage and were barely acquainted. Any cautious woman would have locked the door, but Lucy hadn't. Instead, she remained perfectly calm as she watched him enter the room.

Although her cheeks were rosy, her eyes showed no sign of panic or tears.

Lucy smiled at Colin. "If I'd locked the door, you wouldn't have been able to come in. And if you couldn't come in, that servant watching from afar would get suspicious. Besides, since I will act this role with you, I have to see it through to the end."

Colin stared at her in astonishment. She wore light purple pajamas that covered her modestly, but she clearly had a great figure. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her fair skin accentuated her delicate features. She looked gentle and elegant under the soft glow of the overhead light.

She smiled cooly at Colin, saying, "I have a black belt in taekwondo, so tonight, you're sleeping on the floor because you can't beat me."

Colin opened his mouth in surprise. After a moment, he muttered, "Now I understand why that man pursued you so relentlessly."

She was beautiful, kind, confident, and intelligent. Unfortunately, her heart already belonged to another man. Otherwise, he would never let her go.

Lucy had never imagined that Damien's subordinate would say such a thing when she entered her room. She frowned and threw a pillow at Colin. "I was going to give you a blanket, but now it seems unnecessary."

"Just sleep with this pillow!"

She seemed annoyed as she set her medical journal on the bedside table and glanced at Colin. "Go lie down and sleep!"

Colin obediently lay down on the blanket spread on the floor. As soon as he settled, Lucy decisively clicked the bedroom light off.

Before Colin could respond, Lucy let out a faint, bitter laugh. "It's not that I don't trust you or dislike you. I'm just not used to sharing my personal life with others."

It wasn't that she lacked friends. Cherise had been with her through thick and thin since college. Cherise was her dearest and most trusted friend.

But after Cherise and Damien got back together, Lucy found it hard to share her feelings even with Cherise.

She knew Cherise was happy. She also knew that Cherise's happiness was hard-earned.

So, she didn't want to burden the kind and innocent Cherise with her worries or let her personal issues taint Cherise's happiness.
