Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) Novel
Chapter 303

Chapter 303 That’s Unfair!

“Why did you go along with her proposal of drawing lots?” The girl ranted.

Rodney looked visibly irritated, pursing his lips. “I thought it was the best and fairest way

to do so.”

“Fairest?” The girl shot an angry glare at the shabby house before her. She sneered, “So it’s fair to

have such a lovely young lady like your girlfriend sleep out here in this rundown place huh?”

Rodney knitted his brows, dropped his luggage in the dusty courtyard of the house, and reached for

Lucy’s things. Simultaneously, he commented, “Honestly, I think Mandy is lovely and beautiful too.”

“If I hadn’t supported the drawing lots idea, she might also be stuck here.”

He added with a hint of admiration, “She’s refined, clearly from an affluent background. Having her stay

in this shady place would be even more inappropriate and unkind.”

The girl widened her eyes and was left speechless. Ultimately, she shot Lucy a cold glance and asked.

“Is he your boyfriend?”

Lucy smiled and shrugged nonchalantly, “Yup. He thinks what he thinks.”

The girl rolled her eyes and didn’t say anything further.

The interior of the house was covered in dust, a clear sign that it hadn’t been cleaned in quite a while.

Cherise and Lucy spent the entire afternoon sweeping and cleaning it up.

Once the packing was done, Anissa, the same girl known for her exceptional photography skills, came

over for one last check.

She looked at the sleeping arrangements of Cherise, Lucy, and Rodney and shot Cherise a sly wink.

“So, what’s the plan for tonight? Is it you and your buddy in the inner room while her guy crashes

outside? Or are the two lovebirds claiming the inner room, leaving you to handle the great outdoors?”

Cherise folded her bedding. “Of course, Lucy and I will sleep in the inner room, and Rodney will take

the outdoor shift.”

‘Clang!”

As Cherise spoke, the dish Rodney was washing crashed to the ground. He quickly crouched down to

pick up the shattered porcelain pieces. “Hey, isn’t that unfair?”

Cherise furrowed her brow, feeling a bit irked. What did he mean by ‘unfair?

He and Lucy had only been dating for less than a month, and during this time, he hadn’t shown the

same level of affection towards Lucy as he did while pursuing her.

What entitled him to ask Lucy to sleep in the same room? Even if their relationship had advanced, who

was he to assume she’d sleep outside while he and Lucy took the inner

room?

Anissa settled down beside Cherise, asking. “Are you serious? Why’s this seen as unfair?”

“If it weren’t for the fact that there’s another girl in my room, I’d have come over to switch. with you and

stay with the two of them.”

As he cleaned up the shards, Rodney said, “Lucy and I are a couple. I want to sleep with her. What’s

the problem?”

If it weren’t for wanting to make things official with Lucy, he wouldn’t be going through all this trouble to

join this photography association field trip!

“Sure, no problem, but can’t you save the romantic stuff for after these two nights?” Anissa rolled her

eyes at him. “And, honestly, I don’t see you and Lucy being all that romantic either.”

“Plus, because of you and that Mandy, Lucy has to spend the night in this rundown. shack…”

“If I were your girlfriend, I’d give you the silent treatment all day!”

Cherise backed Anissa’s point of view and shot Rodney an icy look. Then, she got up and went to the

courtyard with Anissa to replace Lucy.

Meanwhile, their dinner was a laid-back barbecue by the stream at the village entrance.

A group of college students who rarely explored the countryside sat by the river, enjoying barbecue,

sipping beer, and chatting, creating a unique and enjoyable atmosphere.
