Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 48
Chapter 48 This Is His Obligation Now
Her volume was too loud, and the people around them gave them looks. “I just don’t want to be a bother.”
Damien may
“Cherise.”
be rich, but he has his worries.
Lucy took a deep breath. “Have you ever thought that from the moment you married Damien, you two are a lawful pair of husband and wife? In what world are there couples who hide things from each other? Marriage is the closest relationship there can be between two people. He’s your closest person. Are you not tired of being this secretive and cautious around him?”
Cherise chewed on her spoon. “But we’re not a regular couple.”
She could take care of him, protect him, and do anything he wanted.
But she did not need him to do anything for her.
Because she was the one owing him. He was her benefactor.
“How are you not a regular couple?!”
Lucy was about to lose her temper again.
“If Damien does not treat you as his wife, he shouldn’t have married you in the first place! He can call it a burden or anything he wants, but this is his obligation now!”
Cherise furrowed her forehead and patted Lucy’s hand while handing her the spoon. “Let’s just finish our food.”
Lucy felt that all she said was for nothing.
That was how Cherise had always been.
She was stubborn, inflexible, and thought of herself lowly.
“You’re heading in the direction of the dinosaurs if you continue this.”
“So be kind to me.”
Cherise gave her a light smile. “I’m going to the sanatorium later.”
Lucy’stabbed the food in her bowl with the fork. “Take it easy. I have no plans to clean up your body.”
Knowing that Lucy meant well, Cherise placed a piece of meat in Lucy’s bowl. “Alright, finish up your food. Aren’t you going to the dance class in the afternoon?”
“Hmph!”
When they finished the meal, Cherise took public transport to the sanatorium.
She fell asleep on the way. When she woke up, they had arrived at the terminal stop.
She had to prick herself with a pin to keep herself awake.
Even so, she was late when she finally arrived at her destination.
“You’re late.”
Lila looked at her, full of disdain. She shoved a heap of bed sheets into her hands. “Wash these.”
Cherise nodded. She went to the laundry room to find all the washing machines malfunctioning.
She went back to Lila.
“All the machines are broken. The mechanic is not around these days. You can just hand wash the sheets.”
Lila scorned her.

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. ❤️...
