Chapter 55 Exposed
“Even though it’s for money…”
She looked adorable with her head lowered hesitantly.
To Damien, compared to her stubborn behavior, she became more adorable when she was helplessly panicking.
Damien arched his eyebrows as he smiled slightly. “If I didn’t ask you directly, were you going to hide this from me forever?”
Cherise nodded. “Yes. It’s my personal problem. After all… you have no obligation to be responsible for that.”
“He is your husband; of course he has an obligation to do so, just like you have the same obligation to be responsible as his wife, including taking care of the bottom half of his body.”
She had no idea when Jacob appeared with his arms around Blake. Both of them sat on the other end of the couch.
Jacob flashed a smile at Cherise. “Damien knew about everything over the past few days. He has been waiting for you to tell him yourself, so he did not probe you. over it.”
Cherise’s eyes widened. She shot a glance at Damien, who remained impassive. The black silk cloth almost covered the expression on his face.
“You….” She blushed involuntarily upon recalling her feeble excuse of studying physics. “You knew I was lying…”
He nodded. “All the things I asked you for help-to feed and shower me, were all done to make you confess.”
Cherise bit her lips. I thought he was starting to rely on me by asking me for help with eating, and I thought it was inconvenient for him to take showers. Even yesterday, when he asked me to prepare a bath for him again, I simply thought he was in a bad mood. In reality, he’s doing all this on purpose, but how would I know that?
Jacob’s eyebrows slightly creased upon sensing her silence. “Cherise, don’t blame him for all the trouble. This man has low EQ. If I wasn’t here today, he would probably still be throwing tantrums at you. He doesn’t express himself well.”
Cherise pursed her lips before replying, “Actually… I’m the same too.”
I should have thought of the sudden change in his behavior lately. All this while, he has never
intentionally given me a hard time. There must be a reason behind this.
She was so occupied with earning more money that it slipped her mind.
Jacob had prepared a long speech to give her some advice. However, he decided against that when he heard her reply.
He shook his head after looking at the seemingly indifferent Damien and Cherise, who had been stealing glances at him.
“Have a good talk, both of you. Blake and I will
“It’s fine,” Damien interrupted. “We’re going back to our room.” He turned to Cherise and commanded, “Let’s go.”
She leaped from the couch instantly. She bade farewell to Jacob and quickly pushed Damien upstairs.
After reaching the bedroom, she closed the door with a huge sigh.
“Uhm… I’m sorry about that.” She stood by the door awkwardly. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you…
“I know.” He waved at her from the wheelchair. “Come here.”
She pursed her lips and walked to him tentatively. As soon as she got closer, he gave her a
tug, making her fall into his arms.
His scent and breath instantly made her blush.
