Chapter 1123 Damien's Friend
"I..." Colin's voice trailed off, growing softer until it was nothing more than gentle, rhythmic breathing.
After a few moments, the woman in the bed quietly slipped out, carefully covering him with a blanket. She sighed softly, sounding a little amused.
"Didn't you say you wanted to hear my story? In the end, it was me listening to yours." She shook her head with a gentle smile. "How childish."
…
The following day, Colin woke up on the floor and found himself covered with a dark blue blanket he hadn't had the night before. When he stood up, he discovered his bedroom was impeccably neat. It was so clean that it didn't feel like his room. A strange feeling washed over him.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Otto calling to remind him about the company meeting. Colin quickly grabbed a formal suit and rushed through his morning routine.
As he hurried downstairs, he saw Lucy in the dining room, smiling as she wiped the face of a small boy who looked about four or five years old.
Hearing footsteps, the boy looked up first. "Wow, Mommy, your husband looks just like Cherry's husband!"
Colin froze, staring at the boy. Is he... Lucy's son?
"Where are your manners," Lucy gently chided, tapping the boy's head. "His name is Colin."
"Oh." The boy nodded before looking back at Colin. "Mommy, your husband, Colin, looks just like Cherry's husband."
Lucy rolled her eyes before turning to Colin, standing in a daze on the stairs. "Are you heading to the company? Skipping breakfast?"
Colin snapped out of his thoughts, feeling a bit awkward. "Yeah, I'm running late. There's something urgent in the company."
Colin's eyes widened. "Really?"
Having Damien's help was already a pleasant surprise, but now he has even sent his friend to help me.
"Who is this friend? Are they also business experts? Are they well-known? Will the shareholders accept them?"
Otto was not sure how to answer Colin's barrage of questions. After briefly pausing, he cleared his throat, saying, "My boss' friend is brilliant and famous. Actually... it's Lennon."
Colin's jaw dropped. "Lennon?!"
Hearing the name, Colin almost fell out of his leather seat. "Why him?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
