Chapter 704 Won’t You Get Jealous?

Cherise bit her lip and instinctively stepped back. Although she had a clear conscience, it was somewhat

embarrassing and uncomfortable to be caught wishing for Damien to have an accident.

She was so nervous that she didn’t even notice Damien referring to her as “Mrs. Lenoir” instead of the initial “Dr.

Shaw.”

Damien cornered her, pressing one hand against the wall and gripping her chin with the other, forcing her to look

into his eyes. “Did I just hear you express a wish for me to have an accident, Mrs. Lenoir?”

Cherise pursed her lips and guiltily looked away. “You must have misheard.”

“I doubt it.” He smiled at her. “What kind of accident do you wish upon me, Mrs. Lenoir? A car crash? A fire? A

flood? Or…”

He leaned in close to her ear, his voice low and seductive. “Or should I ‘accidentally’ give in to pleasure with you

right here?”

Cherise was speechless. How could this man let his carnal desires dictate his thoughts all the time?

But his words helped ease her tension. If he could joke at a time like this, it meant he wasn’t angry…

Cherise took a deep breath and looked up at him. “I’m just frustrated that the two sisters are freeloading here.

Furthermore…

Rowena didn’t save you three years ago! It was me!

Cherise couldn’t get the words out because just as she was about to speak, Ursula’s blood-curdling scream echoed

from upstairs. “Weena!”

Both Cherise and Damien furrowed their brows downstairs.

“Go and investigate.” Cherise had no desire to see those two-faced sisters. However, they were in Lenoir Manor,

and Damien would be held responsible if something happened to them.

Damien held her hand. “Let’s go.”

“I’m not going.” She tried to shake off his hand. “They’re your guests. They have nothing to do with me.”

“But you’re a doctor.” Damien sighed in exasperation. He embraced her forcefully, gently stroking her head.

“Besides, if I go alone…” He tilted her chin, making her meet his gaze. “Won’t you get jealous?”

Cherise rolled her eyes. “Of course not.”

If this had happened before her conversation with Ursula, Cherise might have been jealous watching Damien take

care of Rowena. But she couldn’t be bothered to feel jealous after discovering the truth about Rowena “saving”

Damien back then.

She felt both indignant and amused. How naive could this man be?

“You still have to come with me.” He smiled, kissing her forehead. “You should come and assert your dominance

over me, right?”

“Why should I?” Cherise pouted. Although she secretly felt pleased, she maintained an indifferent. expression. “You

don’t belong to me. You’re just my ex-husband,”

“I’m your ex and current husband.” Damien completely ignored what she said. He took her hand and led her

upstairs.

“Weena!” Ursula sobbed in the guest room upstairs, clutching Rowena’s knees.

At that moment, Rowena had a pale complexion as she slumped in the wheelchair, seemingly

unconscious.

“I know you’ve always favored Cherise. You’ve never cared for my sister!” Ursula cried and angrily berated Frances,

who stood at one side. “My sister has poor health, and you actually resorted to drugging her to prove your loyalty to

Cherise!”
