Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351 Dessert 

“After all, I have many ways to help you burn off the calories from the ice cream tonight.” 

The girl was licking her ice cream but suddenly stopped. 

Why… 

Do I detect a hint of danger… in his voice… 

A sense of foreboding arose in her heart. Alarm bells immediately rang in her mind. 

She looked up at Damien with her guard up. “Can I… put the ice cream in the cooler 

now…” 

The man glanced at her nearly finished ice cream. The corners of his lips curled into at cold smile. “What do you think?” 

Cherise was speechless. 

The man took off his white shirt, revealing his toned eight-pack abs. 

Cherise looked up and quickly finished the remainder of her ice cream, giving him a pitiful look. “Honey, I’m exhausted today.” 

“I learned the dance with Lucy through a video call during the day, and I had to dance in the mascot costume at night…” 

“May I…” 

The man pressed her against the wall. “But you’ve already had two servings of ice cream.” 

“But I haven’t replenished…” 

“You’ve had two scoops of ice cream. I also feel like having dessert.” 

He kissed her, and she felt weak. Afterward, he charmed her and whispered softly in her ear, “Play along, honey.” 

“Let me have one good meal, hmm?” 

“You… You’re lying. You never stop at one. You always… have one after another…” 

“Mm. You’re right. However, you’re still going to be devoured.” 

The next morning, warm sunlight streamed in through the curtains. 

1/3 

Cherise groggily opened her eyes. Her entire body felt incredibly sore. 

She forced herself to sit up and checked the time on her cell phone. Oh my god. It’s already past ten in the morning! 

The girl dragged her aching body out of bed, silently berating Damien for being so demanding… 

He had tormented her until late into the night yesterday! 

She cried and reminded him that they weren’t at home. They were at the Tanner Residence, but he refused to listen. He made her cry several times before he was satisfied! 

The girl moved her sore body and quickly freshened up before slowly opening the bedroom door to leave. 

“Hey, Bunny is awake!” 

As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, she heard a man’s clear voice teasing her. 

Cherise was startled and instinctively looked towards the voice. 

She saw Zachary lounging on the couch in their guest room, casually eating chips while watching sitcoms. 

It felt as though he was at home rather than in Cherise and Damien’s guest room! 

On the couch across from him, a young teenager in a navy blue outfit was unhappily playing with his phone. 

Cherise rubbed her eyes repeatedly to confirm that only Zachary and Blake were in the guest room. 

She was taken aback. “You…” 

Am I imagining things? 

Why is Zachary in my guest room? 

“Mr. Tanner was concerned about you because you didn’t come down for breakfast. He specially prepared dessert for you, so I volunteered to bring them here.” 

Then, Cherise noticed a small, well-packaged box on the coffee table, next to the empty potato chip bags Zachary had finished. 

“I never expected you to sleep until this late, Bunny.” 

2/3 

“Mr. Tanner instructed me to personally make sure you finish the cakes before I can return the empty box and report back to him.” 

Zachary yawned and lazily got up from the couch. He opened the box of cakes. “Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, I’ll have to stay until noon.” 

“Your husband was initially willing to stay and chat with me, but he left because he said he had something to do. He left this sulky face with me.”
