Chapter 812 Lying To Save Her
At that time, Maeve was constantly pressuring Damien with their family ties and how she had risked her
life for him. Damien had no choice but to watch helplessly as Cherise left.
Reflecting on it, Cherise could sense the despair in Damien’s heart at that moment.
It must have been unbearable for him. He must have felt hopeless… Fortunately, that’s all in the past now.
Cherise smiled at Damien and asked, “Damien, have you fallen so deeply in love with me that you can’t. break free?” Her face flushed with embarrassment after saying that. She had never been so daring before.
Damien paused and looked at her. “What would you do if I said yes?”
Cherise blushed. “If you said yes, I would be overjoyed to the point of happiness!”
“Die?” Damien arched an eyebrow and playfully ruffled her hair. “You can’t die yet. I look forward to having more children with you. Since telling the truth could harm you, I’ll have to lie.”
Damien’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Listen carefully. I’m not hopelessly in love with you.”
Cherise was momentarily stunned, but suddenly, her face turned beet red.
When did he become so skilled at teasing me?
She had said that if he admitted to being hopelessly in love with her, she would be overjoyed to the point of happiness. Then, he responded that he did not want her to die, so he lied about not loving her that much. But the truth was he was truly and hopelessly in love with her.
Cherise’s eyes crinkled as she smiled. She threw herself into Damien’s arms. “Hubby, I love you so much.*
“I know.” Damien gently patted her back. “Unfortunately, I have to ask you to let me go.”
Cherise frowned and looked up at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is…” Damien glanced at the nearby food stall. “We’ve arrived at the place to eat.”
Cherise was momentarily stunned. Then, her cheeks blushed as she looked up. They had indeed arrived at the stall.
The stall owner was busy barbecuing food at a nearby stall. Customers were seated at tables scattered near the stall. There were couples, friends, and a few lively individuals drinking and chatting.
As the aroma of the barbecue wafted through the air, Cherise couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
“It smells so good!” Cherise quickly grabbed Damien’s hand. “Let’s get some food!”
Damien nodded helplessly, allowing Cherise to drag him as they dashed to the stall.
“Mister, I want this, this, and this!” After saying this, Cherise turned around, intending to pull Damien to the stall, only to find him staring at something across the street. She frowned and followed his gaze.
Gwenn stood under the street lamp on the opposite side of the street. She was dressed in a red outfit and
was smoking and laughing while chatting with someone on the phone. Sensing Cherise and Damien’s gaze, Gwenn casually glanced at Cherise and smiled. She mouthed something.
Cherise knew what Gwenn was saying “I haven’t lost yet.”
“Hubby” Cherise pouted, pulling Damien to sit in the chair by the food stall. “‘Don’t look at her. She will only ruin your mood.”.
After saying that, she quickly changed the subject, showing Damien the menu. I ordered this, this, and this… I remember you haven’t eaten at this kind of stall before, right?”
Damien shifted his gaze away from Gwenn and calmly watched Cherise trying to cheer him up.
