Chapter 726 I’m Your Hero
The woman’s cov voice brought a faint smile to Damien’s face. He raised his hand to polit hers “Are you scatol”
“Mm Cherise pursed her lips Actually. I’m not afraid of the dark Her voice trembled slightly “The sound carber just startled me”
Damien chuckled softly. He let go of her hand and crouched down. Tll carry you’
Cherise’s face flushed a crimson red. “No need. Just hold my hand
That’s inconvenient” The man’s deep voice was affectionate. It’s easier for me to carry you
Cherise stood rooted to the spot and didn’t move.
Cherise”
“Hmm”
“Are you feeling shy?”
Cherise was dumbstruck.
“We’ve been married for a while. It’s not the first time I’ve carried you. The man’s soothing tone made Cherise sigh before she cautiously climbed onto his back.
As Damien carried her, one hand supported her lower body while the other held a flashlight. He went down the stairs carefully.
“Am I heavy?” Cherise asked tentatively with flushed cheeks upon hearing the man’s slightly labored breathing.
“Yes” The man smiled lightly. “I’m carrying the entire world on my back. Of course, you’re heavy”
Cherise was dumbfounded. “Where did you pick up such corny lines?”
“From your favorite romance novels.”
…How many have you read?”
“Quite a few.”
The man walked carefully.
Cherise wasn’t heavy at all. She was as light as a feather. He was even thinking about how to get her to cat more and put on some weight
His labored breathing was due to his cautious and earnest steps, along with how exhilarated he felt

She was finally willing to express her feelings and reveal her vulnerable side to him. This signified that she had genuinely accepted him.
It utterly thrilled him, and he took each step even more cautiously.
“I’m not afraid of the dark.” Cherise quickly changed the topic as he stayed silent. “I was genuinely startled by the sound of the door earlier.”
“I know.” The man smiled nonchalantly. “But Cherise, you’re with me now. What would you do if you encountered this situation alone with the kids?”
Cherise’s figure froze slightly. She had faced such a situation before…
“I would pretend not to be scared.” The woman curled her lips. Her clear voice was slightly helpless. “I can’t let the kids think I’m scared, can I?”
“To them, their mom is strong and brave. Therefore, I’ll pretend I’m fine before them, even if I’m scared.” The woman’s voice was as resolute and earnest as ever. “Because I’m a hero to my kids.”
Damien’s hand froze as he was carrying her. He vividly imagined this petite and delicate woman putting on a brave face. It was a heart-wrenching sight.
“You don’t have to put on such a brave front with me in the future.” His deep voice was slightly emotional as he spoke earnestly. “You’re a hero to the kids, but I’m your hero.”

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. ❤️...
