Chatper 824

Chapter 824 Unveiled Tensions

Cherise was so startled that she nearly dropped her phone. Instinctively, she turned her gaze toward

the sound – A man wrapped in a towel stood in the bathroom, staring at her.

The midday sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating his bare abs, making them all the more

enticing. Cherise heard herself gulp upon seeing this,

Damien leaned against the door with a faint smile playing on his lips as he observed her. “So, Mrs.

Lenoir, who always seemed so unwilling to be around me, actually has feelings for me.”

She was just exchanging pleasantries with Zachary, merely using him as an example!

“Alright, I understand.” The man gave Cherise a faint smile, “Continue buying red roses tonight.”

Cherise asked, “Can we… change the color?”

Though Damien’s voice was not loud, the bathroom was indeed small. On the other end of the phone,

Zachary had long heard Damien’s voice.

The man’s warm smile was evident in his voice. “Let Dame come to me. I’ll chat with your man for a

while, you go and sort out my wife.” With that, the man chuckled and hung up the phone.

Cherise held her phone with her mind in turmoil. She looked up at Damien, “Zachary said… um…!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Damien pressed her against the wall, kissing her passionately on

her soft lips.

Cherise was taken aback by his sudden kiss. Helplessly, she wrapped her arms around his strong

waist and said, “Dear…”

“Good girl, let me kiss you for a while.” The man held her, closing his eyes, “I’m so tired.”

“Only you can make me feel less tired.” His weary voice made Cherise’s struggling hand instantly drop.

The woman reached out her arm, gently stroking the man’s back, “Alright.”

“I’m going to replace Lyra now.”

Damien smiled helplessly. “Then I might have to go and give Zachary a beating later.”

“For what?”

“A sexually frustrated man becomes hostile towards anyone who interferes with his food.”

The man smiled as he said this, then turned and left.

Cherise stood there, watching his retreating figure, stunned for a long time. After a while, she let out a

long sigh of relief, quickly freshened up, and called Lyra while she was at it.

Cherise found Lyra at the entrance of the city hall. Today, Lyra wore a white dress, looking thin and

exhausted, a far cry from her radiant appearance at the wedding yesterday.

“Cherry…” Seeing Cherise, the young girl threw herself into Cherise’s arms, tears streaming down her

face, “I feel so awful!”

“Zach doesn’t like me!”

A vein throbbed on Chérise’s forehead.



While comforting the girl in her arms, she said, “Didn’t you know from the beginning that he doesn’t like

you?”

At first, she stubbornly ignored everyone and followed her heart, “I know he doesn’t like me, but as long

as I can be with him, it’s enough.” Now that she had him, what was there to worry about?

Lyra’s tears poured, “I said those things back then to get you guys to help me marry him!”

“But now that he’s awake… I know clearly he’s not happy with me.”

Cherise took her to a nearby coffee shop. As they sat down, she asked, “Why do you think that?”

“Because he always wears a troubled expression…” Lyra pursed her lips, her hands clasped together,

stirring restlessly. “He was fine yesterday, but in the middle of the night, I saw him sitting in the study

with a worried expression, sighing…”
