My Blind Husband novel Chapter 726

"I..." In the darkness, the woman's face started to flush. At that moment, Cherise was grateful that they were in the dark. Otherwise, Damien would tease her if he saw her blushing cheeks...

The woman's coy voice brought a faint smile to Damien's face. He raised his hand to hold hers. "Are you scared?"

"Mm." Cherise pursed her lips. "Actually, I'm not afraid of the dark." Her voice trembled slightly. "The sound earlier just… startled me."

Damien chuckled softly. He let go of her hand and crouched down. "I'll carry you."

Cherise's face flushed a crimson red. "No need. Just hold my hand."

"That's inconvenient." The man's deep voice was affectionate. "It's easier for me to carry you."

Cherise stood rooted to the spot and didn't move.

"Cherise."

"Hmm?"

"Are you feeling shy?"

Cherise was dumbstruck.

"We've been married for a while. It's not the first time I've carried you." The man's soothing tone made Cherise sigh before she cautiously climbed onto his back.

As Damien carried her, one hand supported her lower body while the other held a flashlight. He went down the stairs carefully.

"Am I heavy?" Cherise asked tentatively with flushed cheeks upon hearing the man's slightly labored breathing.

"Yes." The man smiled lightly. "I'm carrying the entire world on my back. Of course, you're heavy."

"I'm not afraid of the dark." Cherise quickly changed the topic as he stayed silent. "I was genuinely startled by the sound of the door earlier."

"I know." The man smiled nonchalantly. "But Cherise, you're with me now. What would you do if you encountered this situation alone with the kids?"

Cherise's figure froze slightly. She had faced such a situation before...

"I would pretend not to be scared." The woman curled her lips. Her clear voice was slightly helpless. "I can't let the kids think I'm scared, can I?"

"To them, their mom is strong and brave. Therefore, I'll pretend I'm fine before them, even if I'm scared." The woman's voice was as resolute and earnest as ever. "Because I'm a hero to my kids."

Damien's hand froze as he was carrying her. He vividly imagined this petite and delicate woman putting on a brave face. It was a heart-wrenching sight.

"You don't have to put on such a brave front with me in the future." His deep voice was slightly emotional as he spoke earnestly. "You're a hero to the kids, but I'm your hero."
