Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chatper 717

Chapter 717 Five Years Ago

Cherise was destined to become an unapproachable eccentric at the institute. Few could stand a colleague with

such an attractive, passionate, and affluent suitor….

Cherise sighed in resignation and helplessly made her way towards the entrance. There was no other alternative.

She had chosen Damien as her partner. She had also expressed her fondness for his roses. Therefore, she couldn’t

fault him. She could only blame herself for her poor taste and lousy communication skills!

When Cherise reached the main entrance, the grand procession of roses had already arrived. Almost all the female

employees of the institute had gathered at the door and harbored the same thought. What if this is for me?

Even if they weren’t the intended recipient, they were content to take a photo with such a grand spectacle of trucks

delivering roses!

A female employee near Cherise even began to engage her in conversation. “Dr. Shaw, are you still single?”

Cherise pursed her lips and carefully chose her words with a frown. “My children are five years old.”

“Oh, I see. The female colleague sighed with a hint of disappointment. “I thought someone had arranged this grand

procession of cars on your first day at work to declare their love for you. She looked at Cherise slightly regretfully.

“Since your children are five, you and your husband must have been married for a long time, right? When was the

last time he showed you any romantic gesture?”

Cherise pursed her lips and pondered with furrowed brows. “It must have been five years ago.”

“Five years ago…” Her female colleague covered her mouth in surprise. “Your children are five years old, and he

last showed you a romantic gesture five years ago… Oh dear. Men really do become unreliable after marriage!”

Cherise watched as the extended Lincoln in the distance came to a halt. A man in custom-made leather shoes

stepped out elegantly. “Yes. He is indeed quite unreliable.”

He always presented her with ‘surprises’ that caught her completely off guard.

“Thankfully, I’m still single. Cherise’s female colleague sighed lightly. “So I still have options…”

“Wow! It’s Damien Lenoir!” A chorus of exclamations erupted among the surrounding female colleagues.

“Damien!”

As it turned out, the man who could afford to buy all the roses in the city was Damien Lenoir, a man that all women

in Adania yearned for!

“Dr. Shaw, you’ve just arrived in Adania and might not understand why everyone is so excited.” The female

colleague who had just been chatting with Cherise was also very enthusiastic. “It’s because this man named

Damien Lenoir… is a man that all women in Adania dream of marrying, regardless of how old they are!”

Cherise instinctively stepped back when she saw the man in the distance step out of the car with roses, his dark

eyes scanning the crowd. She continued the conversation with her colleague. “Are you serious?”

All women want to marry him, regardless of how old they are?

Cherise’s female colleague nodded earnestly. “Dr. Shaw, you haven’t been in Adania for long. Once you’ve been

here longer, you’ll understand how irresistible Damien is!” She couldn’t help but sigh. “His ex-wife is so ruthless.

He’s been searching for her for five years, and she hasn’t returned.”

“But it seems that Damien has finally come to his senses and shifted his affections to a woman in our institute.” The

woman clasped her hands together and started to daydream again. “I met Damien at a banquet not long ago. I

wonder if he still remembers me…”

Upon listening to her colleague’s words, the veins on Cherise’s forehead twitched incessantly.
