Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 139
Chapter 139 You Are Ashamed of Me
My conscience is clear!
I’m not ashamed of him!
I have never been!
I was only disturbed by Violet’s words and was unsure what to believe!
“Blake.”
Seeing that Cherise was silent, Damien spoke to Blake in the front passenger seat. “Tell Mr. Hampson to send another car to bring Mrs. Lenoir home.”
“Sure.”
Blake took out his phone and quickly dialed a number. “Mr. Hampson, send a car to the campus to…”

However, Cherise snatched the phone from him before he could finish speaking. “Mr. Hampson, Blake was joking. It’s late. You don’t have to send another car!”
Then, she hung up the call and returned the phone to Blake.
Blake frowned and turned to Damien. “Should I call again?”
“No need!”
Cherise refused before Damien could speak. “Damien and I are husband and wife. Why do we need separate cars to go home?”
Unknown to Cherise, Damien’s lips curved up slightly.
Still, he sounded lonely and self-deprecating as he said, “But you’re ashamed of me….”
“I don’t!”
Cherise took a deep breath and turned to face him. She held his face and kissed him. Then, she kissed him again.
My husband is so handsome. Why would he trick me?
He’sgentle and kind. Violet must be lying!
Furthermore, he has low self-esteem. I should never have doubted him!

D*mn you, Violet! My husband is the most brilliant man in the world!
“Dear, are you still angry?”
Her eyes glimmered like crystals in the darkness. “I was confused because I was sleepy!”
“But my mind is now awake. I apologize for my behavior just now. I was wrong!”
Damien gazed at Cherise unwaveringly through the gauzy black sash. “What was your mistake?”
“I should never have suspected that you tricked me!”
Cherise took a deep breath. She recalled what Damien had taught her.
“The most vital thing in marriage is trust!”
“Dear, even if you tricked other people, you would never trick me. I should never have doubted your sight.”
Damien squinted slightly. His deep voice grew stern. “What else?”
“I shouldn’t have rejected your embrace…”
“Others might be unable to hold me and navigate a wheelchair while visually impaired, but you’re different. You can do what others can’t!”
“I should never have suspected you!”
Cherise’s voice was clear as the chimes of a silver bell. Her words struck Damien’s heart, prompting his expression to darken.
Why did she suddenly suspect that I could see?

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. ❤️...
