Chapter 199 Damsel in Distress
Cherise frowned at him. “Why would I do that?”
Lennon let out a chuckle. “I know you don’t mind, but have some pity for the little guy behind. you. He’s completely drenched.”
Cherise turned around. Sure enough, Blake was soaked to the core.
She smiled in embarrassment and conceded. “Alright, then. Let’s get into the car.”
I can handle this, but it won’t do Blake any good if he catches a cold. He’s still a kid.
After getting into Lennon’s car, he sent them to a mansion nearby.
“I used to live here before going abroad. It’s a bit old, but I hope you don’t mind staying here temporarily for a few days. A wry smile spread across his face as he shook his head. “I bet Damien. will fetch you back in a few days anyway.”
“You… know Damien?” Cherise froze.
“We go way back. Lennon made a face, passing a towel to her. “I spent my best years with that. loser, yet the pay he gave me isn’t even enough to get by!”
Shocked by the sudden revelation, Cherise was momentarily stunned before returning to her senses. Lennon is not his neighbor or whatnot; he works for Damien!
She pursed her lips and sat down on the couch angrily. “Did he ask you to bring me here?”
“You’re smart, m’lady.” He snapped his fingers. “He said you wouldn’t want to go home or see him. at this moment, so he arranged a place for you to stay and asked me to send you here. What’s going on? Did you guys get into a fight? What do you think about splitting up with him and marrying me instead?” He grinned at her mischievously.
Cherise rolled her eyes at him before hurrying Blake into the shower.
Interested in teasing her even more, Lennon leaned behind the couch as he scrutinized her face. “Come on, won’t you give that a thought?”
When he assumed that she worked for Damien, he was surprised that Damien hired such a woman as one of his housekeepers.
He only found out about Cherise’s true identity as Damien’s wife a few moments ago when he received a call from Damien himself.
Whenever he recalled how Damien and Jacob avoided his questions about Cherise, he felt embarrassed.
Hence, he continued to tease Cherise. “Give it a thought! I will never lie to you, and I will always
1/2
treat you like a queen”
Cherise merely made a face and ignored his advances.
After the long walk in the rain, she had calmed down. Despite everything that had ensued, the thought of having a divorce with Damien had never crossed her mind, even at the peak of her disappointment.
Divorce was a serious matter. Before getting married, Elvis and Sarah reminded her that such a word should not be played around with simply because one was upset.
She had also sworn to herself that as long as Damien would help her save her grandmother, she would never leave 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. ❤️...
