Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1155

Chapter 1155 Don't Get Involved

"I asked Mr. Lenoir toe because | feared | couldn't handle Violet, so | reached out to him. If it caused any issues between you

two... please keepout of it!" With that, the man swiftly moved to another table.

Cherise remained silent. If the man across from her made things difficult for her, she would take her revenge on Colin. She

carefully poured a glass of water for Damien, saying softly, "Sweetheart, have swater."

"Mm." Damien smiled as he accepted the glass of water. "Thank you to the incredibly charming Mrs. Lenoir for pouringwater."

Cherise stayed silent, her certainty growing that Damien, in his pettiness, would definitely seek retaliation against her. She pursed

her lips and cautiously said, "Tonight, can you..."

"I'll be gentle," Damien interjected sharply.

Cherise remained silent, seething with disbelief. Liar! She refused to trust his assurances. Every the promised to be gentle and

slow, it always ended up fierce and intense. He's a liar! Despite her penchant for weaving stories about such matters, this man...

As Cherise silently cursed Colin, the café elevator opened. Lennon, his expression impassive, stepped out and cast a cold glance in

Cherise and Colin's direction before departing. Shortly after his departure, the doors of another elevator opened, and a somewhat

pale Lucy emerged.

Cherise ceased squabbling with Damien; instead, she hurried over to Lucy. Taking Lucy's hand, she asked with concern, "Lucy, how

are you feeling?"

"I'm okay," Lucy replied, managing a weak smile. "Lennon promisedhe won't argue or fight with Colin anymore, no matter how

upset he gets. He'll do this for me." She smiled reassuringly at Colin. "So, don't worry!"

"Thank you," Colin murmured, his lips pressed together as he expressed his gratitude quietly. "I... don't know what to say. Just know

that you can always ask if you need anything in the future."

"I'll hold you to that," Lucy replied with a faint smile. Then, turning to Cherise, she said, "I recall there's a bar across from this café,

isn't there? Would you joinfor a few drinks?"

Cherise sensed Lucy's somber mood. "If you want to drink, I'lle with you."

"Alright, you're the best," Lucy murmured, leaning on Cherise's shoulder and whispering in a voice only Cherise heard. "I'm

exhausted."

Cherise detected the strain in Lucy's voice. She pursed her lips, gestured subtly to Damien, and swiftly guided Lucy out of the door.

Colin remained rooted in place, his gaze following the path the two women had taken, a knot of concern forming in his chest. "Why

does Lucy seem to be having a hard time..." he remarked, turning to Damien, who sat calmly sipping his tea. "Aren't you worried at

all?"

"A little," Damien acknowledged, glancing at Colin and rolling his eyes. "But what | believe is that outsiders shouldn't interfere too

much." After a pause, his dark eyes fixed on Colin, scrutinizing him fixedly. "Who do you think you are to Lucy? What right do you

have to worry about her? If your reasons are convincing, perhaps I'll consider lending a hand."

Colin hesitated, turning his face slightly away, avoiding Damien's gaze. "I... Can't | be concerned about her as her friend?"

"If you're truly her friend, you should maintain your distance," Damien replied calmly. "In personal situations like this, it's best not

to get involved."

Colin furrowed his brow, a hint of displeasure creeping into his voice. "Why not?"
