Chapter 138 You Hurt His Heart
Cherise was rendered speechless, while Lucy was shocked.
Even so, Cherise was unconvinced by his excuse.
She could not forget what Violet said, “Do you know what happened to his eyes?”
Violet would not have asked the question if she only wanted to say that Damien was blind.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing her in a daze, Damien pulled her into his embrace. He planned to bring her downstairs in his wheelchair as he had done many times before.
But Cherise refused insistently and removed herself from his embrace.
“We shouldn’t do this here.”
Cherise breathed in and continued, “You can’t see.”
Damien sensed something wrong with Cherise tonight.
He frowned and did not speak.
Mr. Kolson tried to soothe her. “Mrs. Lenoir, Mr. Lenoir had carried you previously. He also could not see then, and you were safe.”
Cherise pursed her lips.
He’s right. Damien also couldn’t see when he carried me previously.
Yet, he could hold me with one hand while controlling the wheelchair with his other hand. He never bumped into anything.
“Forget it. My wife is unwilling to let me hold her.”
Damien noticed Cherise’s hesitation and turned the wheelchair around to leave.
Cherise stood still and watched him go with conflicting emotions.
Mr. Kolson frowned and glanced at Cherise. “Mrs. Lenoir, what’s wrong with you?”
this
“Mr. Lenoir’s won the negotiation tonight and helped Shaw Group secure its biggest order
year. He thought you would be happy to hear the news. That’s why he rushed here to wait for you right after the negotiation…”
“Then, Mr. Lenoir discovered you were in Viopril Palace with your friends. He did not want to disturb your spending time with friends and knew you wouldn’t want them to see him. That’s why he waited here for you.”
“He didn’t even want to send anyone to inform you that he was waiting”
“Yet, you returned with such an attitude. First, you forbid Mr. Lenoir from touching your neck. Then, you refused to let him embrace you…”
“If I were him, I would be despondent. You hurt his feelings…”
Mr. Kolson had never spoken so much to Cherise before.
Cherise was shocked by those words and fell into a daze.
Is… that true?
Lucy frowned and pushed Cherise slightly. “What are you thinking? Your husband is angry. What are you waiting for? Go coax him now!”
Cherise staggered from Lucy’s push and returned to her senses. She ran in the direction that Damien had left.
Lucy watched Cherise disappear before turning to Mr. Kolson. “Your boss must have paid. you a high salary.”
Mr. Kolson said many good things about Damien and stirred up sentiments for him. He even added that he would be sad if he were in Damien’s position.
This man is not a driver. He’s a gifted orator!
In response to Lucy’s question, Mr. Kolson smiled and answered, “My salary is not much.”
He paused and continued, “But I should get a lot of bonus this month.”
When Cherise rushed downstairs, Damien entered the car with Blake’s help.
She stopped the door from closing and jumped into the car, plopping herself down on the
seat.
Damien was expressionless as he faced forward. “Mrs. Lenoir, you don’t have to force yourself. If you’re unwilling to share a car with a blind man like me, I can arrange another. one for you.”
Cherise panted and leaned into the leather seat while patting her chest. “Dear, I was wrong.”
Damien frowned slightly. “What have you done wrong, Mrs. Lenoir?”
His deep and charming voice carried a hint of self-derision. At the same time, he sounded. forlorn. “I understand that you don’t want to be with me.”
Cherise was rendered speechless.
