My Blind Husband novel Chapter 728

"Some are arguing that Damien wronged his ex-wife because he never publicly displayed his marriage five years ago, but he's now parading his affection for you unabashedly, so they're saying that it seems like second marriages are indeed more fulfilling..."

"I'm so amused. If you want to point fingers, blame Damien for his unassuming nature five years ago. Still, you kept an equally low profile. Everyone knew Damien had an ex-wife, but her name remained a mystery."

Cherise was half awake in bed as she listened to Lucy's voice. It was enough to make her head whirl. Onlookers do indeed have a boundless imagination.

A large hand suddenly snatched Cherise's phone away. "I intend to continue showcasing my love for Cherise, my 'second wife.' If anyone has any objections, they're welcome to discuss it with me personally," Damien said with an icy voice as he held the phone.

Lucy's voice on the other end of the line instantly trailed off. Her astonished voice rang after a moment. "What's happening?! Cherise, did you spend the night with Damien?!"

Cherise was briefly taken aback. She quickly snatched the phone from Damien's hand as she blushed. "Well... I... Last night, I think..."

She felt a headache forming, but she was confident she hadn't consumed any alcohol last night. Why did I allow Damien to carry me to his room? And...

She instinctively glanced around, noticing the strewn clothes and disheveled bed… Scenes from the previous night flashed in her mind, and Cherise was so mortified she wished she could disappear.

"Cherise Shaw! Weren't you supposed to restrain yourself?!"

"Even though the roses yesterday were incredibly romantic, it was enough that you accepted his proposal. Why did you..." On the other end of the line, Lucy was exasperated. "Can't you exercise some restraint? At least make Damien pine for you so he'll realize you're not a pushover!"

Lucy was dumbstruck. Cherise, are you kidding me?

"Mr. Lenoir." On the other end of the line, Lucy took a deep breath and finally surrendered to the inevitable. "I spoke out of turn and said something I shouldn't have. It's my fault."

"I wish you and Cherise a blissful marriage and a happy life. Goodbye. By the way, tell Cherise not to contact me for a while. I'm afraid I'll speak out of turn again. Thank you." Lucy ended the call swiftly.

Cherise was stupefied as she grabbed her phone back. She looked up at Damien, slightly furious. "Why did you say that?"

"Why did she say that?" Damien pulled Cherise into his arms, taking in the fragrance of her hair. "It wasn't easy for us to reach this point. I fully understand your worth. You don't need to test me any further. Even if she had good intentions, it would hurt me even more if you followed her advice."
