Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 907 Loneliness From Childhood

Cherise was taken aback. “So... if I wasn't with you tonight, would you have
declined?”

The man nodded, an uncertain smile plastered on his face as he said gently,
“While I am happy to support the orphanage, I am not fond of these events
Cherise swallowed a lump in her throat, internally admonishing herself for her
impulsive behavior.

Her hands clenched down on the leather seat underneath her. “Then... what
should we do..."

“There's nothing we can do,” Damien sighed in resignation. “I must accompany
Mrs. Lenoir to the event.”

“If Mrs. Lenoir feels guilty, she can find a way to make it up to me.”

How do I make it up to him?

Cherise chewed on her bottom lip, lost in thoughts of dire consequences to her.
Furrowing her brows, she said meekly, “You wouldn't... expect me to... have
more children as compensation, would you?”

That would be too excessive! she thought horrifically to herself. Her eyes
widened into big, helpless circles as if pleading for Damien to spare her.

“Mrs. Lenoir is truly astute,” the man chuckled as he started the car. “You always
guess what I want right away.”

Cherise gulped nervously, her body flushing pink.

She wished she could take back the words she accidentally spoke out loud.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she recollected that moments ago, in the orphanage,
he was insinuating the very same thing.

She couldn't believe that a kiss between them nearly made her forget about his
comments earlier.

Taking a deep breath, her lips grew thin and firm as she gazed out of the car
window. “Damien,” she said seriously.

Silence lingered in the air for a few minutes before he finally responded, “Yes?”
“I don't want to have more children for now.”

“Why?” he asked, arching an eyebrow.

“Because I believe two are sufficient.”

She pursed her lips, continuing, “Is Ren not intelligent enough, or is Sera not
adorable enough? Why do you always desire a third and fourth child?”

It was not the first time he had brought up the topic in front of her.

Even when they never used protection, he would express his desire for a third
and fourth child.

But she truly felt they didn’t need so many children...

A smile lit up on the corner of his lips as he continued to focus on the road. “It's
just a small wish I

have.”

Taking a deep breath, his tone turned serious, “When my sister faked her death
and disappeared before, I felt very lonely.”

“I thought at that time, if I ever have children in the future, there should be more
than two.”

“Because if something unexpected happens... the one left behind will be very
lonely.”

“However.”

The man took a deep breath, his voice becoming solemn, “That's just my
opinion.”

“If you truly don’t want to, I won't pressure you.”

“Every time I bring up the idea of a third and fourth child, it's simply to tease you.”
The man’s words left Cherise speechless for a moment.

All along, she thought Damien just enjoyed teasing her by seeing her reaction
whenever he brought it up, but she hadn't anticipated... that behind his desire for
a third and fourth child were the memories and wishes he had as a lonely child.
The atmosphere in the car grew heavy.

The message was from Sebastian Weiss.

It was brief, only two sentences.

“I did not know that you still enjoy eating drumsticks.

“Let me treat you to some another day as a commemorative token of our
childhood.

Cherise held her phone in her hands, unsure how to formulate a response.

2/3

A part of her believed that she should reply, out of courtesy of their former
relationship.

The other remembered that she was also Damien's wife, and she shouldn't get
too close to his rivals.

After much deliberation, Cherise finally replied politely, “Yes, I still love eating
drumsticks, thanks to you.’
