Chapter 374 It’s Wonderful To Marry You
The pen he usually used in his study room looked old. Cherise believed that the pen held some special meaning to him, so she intended to gift him a new pen, allowing him to keep
the old one as a memento.
By the time she finished shopping, Damien and Lennon had resolved their dispute. After sending Greg to return the items to the Tanners, Damien took Cherise to try some local. delicacies.
Sitting across froin Cherise, Damien smiled in resignation when he saw her struggling to remove the shells from the escargots.
“Take this.”
Damien elegantly placed some escargots he had already deshelled in front of Cherise and moved hers onto his plate.
Cherise chuckled in embarrassment. “I’m a little clumsy.”
“Not just a little. You’re very clumsy.” Damien wore a faint smile.
The girl pouted. “I’ve told you, I scored full marks in all my exams.
“Even so, you’re clumsy.”
“Okay…” Cherise glanced at the escargots Damien had nicely deshelled and nodded in frustration. “I’ll work on it.”
Damien laughed. “You silly girl, you’ll never need to with me around. I’ll lose my job if you can do it yourself someday.”
Cherise took a while to realize it was a flirtatious remark. Her cheeks flushed. “Even so, I shouldn’t always rely on you…. If I’m still this clumsy in front of others, they’ll laugh at me.”
Damien shrugged. “It seems like you’re constantly being teased after marrying me. Do you regret it?”
Cherise shook her head without hesitation. “Of course not! Even before we got married, Aunt Sarah told me that I couldn’t have any regrets once I decided to marry you. I made a promise with them that no matter what happened, I would never leave you unless you didn’t want me anymore.”
After saying this, Cherise could feel her cheeks grow hotter.
Looking affectionately at her, Damien mumbled softly, “You hadn’t even seen me then,
and you knew I was blind and disabled. How did you have the courage to make such a
decision?”
To him, any rational person wouldn’t make such a commitment without knowing the other person at all. A lifetime was too long; no one could guarantee their feelings for someone for their entire life.
“…” Cherise lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Damien. Her voice was barely audible. “Because…. I’ve seen your picture.”
She was blushing to the root of her hair. “Grandpa sent me your pictures. Lucy even got help from a computer software major to verify that they weren’t photoshopped.
Cherise lifted her head and gazed at Damien, looking shy. “Hubby, you grew on me. I thought you were handsome when I first saw your pictures. But after I met you in person. I found you even more attractive. So….”
Cherise’s hand was trembling. “I thought you were so good-looking, and you turned out to be a person with disabilities, so I should protect you. But now, you’re the one protecting
me!”
Cherise beamed brightly. “It’s wonderful to marry you.”
At the age of seventeen, she had once dreamed of marrying a handsome, charming, rich, and loving man. At that time, Lucy had teased her for her unrealistic dreams.
