Chapter 951 Unable to Reciprocate
“And.”
The woman took a deep breath, “Because without past memories, I actually… find it hard to accept the fact that I am the mother of two children.”
“Every day, I receive Soren and Serafina’s affections, but I know in my heart that I can’t return the same love they have for me… I feel a deep shame whenever they affectionately call for me, and then I start to blame myself for feeling that way.”
“And… you.”
Cherise lowered her head, not daring to look in
Damien’s eyes. “I know you are good to me.”
“Everything you have done for me these past few days, I see it all. I know you must really cherish me.”
“But I don’t love you as much as you love me.”
“This makes me feel despicable.
“Clearly accepting so much goodness and love from the people around me, but I can’t give the same response.”
“If I regain my memory, I will definitely not be like this.”
The woman’s words were spoken very softly.
But each word, like a heavy hammer, struck Damien’s heart.
He admitted that he had come to like the serene disposition Cherise now bore as a result of her memories being wiped clean.
Without the five years of separation, without the five years of vicissitudes.
Just like five years ago, she reminded him that she was still so lovable and full of life.
But, he had overlooked… her feelings.
In the end, the Cherise who lost her memory, and the Cherise from before are the same person.
Her boundaries, her sense of right and wrong, her perspectives and values were all exactly the same as before.
She accepted the kindness and love of others but was unable to reciprocate in the same way, which was very painful and tormenting for her.
The man took a deep breath and held her tightly in his arms. “I promise you.”
“After I’m done with this busy period… I will take you back to the Shaw’s village to retrieve your memories, okay?”

Cherise blinked her eyes. “What is The Shaw’s village?”
“It’s where you grew up.”
“But isn’t the Tanner family in Europe?”
“But these are all facts.”
Cherise fixed on him with steely eyes. “Yes, I believe everything you said.”
Her obedient appearance was cute and peaceful.
left in order to avoid any
Looking into the woman’s pure and transparent eyes, Damien suddenly felt a bit reluctant to tell her about what had happened in the past.
But…
Then, Damien clenched his fist with a determined appearance and said, “I know who the man you saw in your mind before is.”
Cherise was taken aback. “You know?”

Damien nodded, holding her in his arms with one hand and picking up the mouse with the other. He hovered the mouse over a file and then opened a file inside, the photo enlarging to fit the entire screen. “It’s 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. ❤️...
