Chapter 139 You Are Ashamed of Me
My conscience is clear!
I’m not ashamed of him!
I have never been!
I was only disturbed by Violet’s words and was unsure what to believe!
“Blake.”
Seeing that Cherise was silent, Damien spoke to Blake in the front passenger seat. “Tell Mr. Hampson to send another car to bring Mrs. Lenoir home.”
“Sure.”
Blake took out his phone and quickly dialed a number. “Mr. Hampson, send a car to the campus to…”
H
However, Cherise snatched the phone from him before he could finish speaking. “Mr. Hampson, Blake was joking. It’s late. You don’t have to send another car!”
Then, she hung up the call and returned the phone to Blake.
Blake frowned and turned to Damien. “Should I call again?”
“No need!”
Cherise refused before Damien could speak. “Damien and I are husband and wife. Why do we need separate cars to go home?”
Unknown to Cherise, Damien’s lips curved up slightly.
Still, he sounded lonely and self-deprecating as he said, “But you’re ashamed of me….”
“I don’t!”
Cherise took a deep breath and turned to face him. She held his face and kissed him. Then, she kissed him again.
My husband is so handsome. Why would he trick me?
He’sgentle and kind. Violet must be lying!
Furthermore, he has low self-esteem. I should never have doubted him!
D*mn you, Violet! My husband is the most brilliant man in the world!
“Dear, are you still angry?”
Her eyes glimmered like crystals in the darkness. “I was confused because I was sleepy!”
“But my mind is now awake. I apologize for my behavior just now. I was wrong!”
Damien gazed at Cherise unwaveringly through the gauzy black sash. “What was your mistake?”
“I should never have suspected that you tricked me!”
Cherise took a deep breath. She recalled what Damien had taught her.
“The most vital thing in marriage is trust!”
“Dear, even if you tricked other people, you would never trick me. I should never have doubted your sight.”
Damien squinted slightly. His deep voice grew stern. “What else?”
“I shouldn’t have rejected your embrace…”
“Others might be unable to hold me and navigate a wheelchair while visually impaired, but you’re different. You can do what others can’t!”
“I should never have suspected you!”
Cherise’s voice was clear as the chimes of a silver bell. Her words struck Damien’s heart, prompting his expression to darken.
Why did she suddenly suspect that I could see?
“I’m sorry, dear!”
Cherise grinned and leaned into his embrace. “Mr. Kolson said you won the negotiation and secured Adania’s biggest business deal this season for me. Is it true?”
Damien was stunned briefly before realizing what she meant.
Cherise thought he secured that project for her sake.
After all, she was the president of Shaw Group.
Damien smiled and gently caressed her long hair. “It’s true.”
“Randall will thank you for managing the company so well.”
Damien’s body had a unique minty masculine scent that comforted Cherise.
She soon felt sleepy in his embrace and closed her eyes. “Dear, you’re amazing.”
“Once I finish managing the company and return it to Randall, he probably won’t care about the tens of thousands I took from him…”
