The atmosphere in the villa turned sullen. Damien glanced at the bottles of medicine on the table. His
gaze turned cold as he said, “It turns out my wife is concerned about me. I’ve wrongly accused her.”
However, Cherise was not stupid. She keenly sensed the sarcasm in his tone and gaze. Damien turned
to the butler and gestured to him indifferently. The butler hurried over and took the bottles of medicine
away. Cherise felt guilty. “Why did you get the butler to take them away? Don’t… you want to take
them?” He seems in a bad mood. Damien pursed his lips and smiled vaguely. “Let’s have lunch.” His
voice was gruff and cold. Cherise sensed the surrounding air turn chilly. It looks like he’s angry. Cherise
clasped her hands nervously. I brought him medicine on the second day of our marriage. Is it wrong?
Did giving him the medicine so soon after our wedding make him think I detest him? Cherise suddenly
recalled Lucy’s advice. ‘A disabled person has low self-esteem.’ She could not resist grumbling about
Lucy in her mind. Goodness, Lucy! You know a disabled person has low self-esteem. Why did you ask
me to get those medicine? But I’m partially at fault. I should have expected this. “Eat up,” Damien said
gruffly. Cherise grabbed a fork and began to eat. She felt nervous and tensed throughout the meal.
Once she finished her food, the butler approached her and said, “Mrs. Lenoir, Old Mr. Lenoir called and
invited you and Mr. Lenoir to dinner tonight. The driver will pick you up after school, so please refrain
from scheduling other activities.” “I understand.” Cherise smiled politely. “I don’t have any plans tonight
anyway.” Her eyes crinkled as she smiled, making her appear sincere and adorable. Anyone would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthink she was too innocent to have any schemes. After saying that, she grabbed her bag and waved at
Damien. “I’m off to school!” Once she disappeared from the room, the butler stood behind Damien and
said respectfully. “I’ve sent the medicine to a lab for testing. The result will be ready soon.” He paused
and could not resist adding, “I don’t think Mrs. Lenoir is a calculative person.” Damien looked
indifferently in the direction Cherise had left. “Investigate the doctor who asked her out.” The butler
pursed his lips and reminded, “The driver said Mrs. Lenoir’s friend brought the medicine. I think her
friend is more suspicious…” However, Damien’s domineering aura intimidated the butler into silence.
Damien smiled vaguely, “I wish to investigate the man who asked my wife out. Do you have any
problem with that?” “No… No, sir!” … Once the classes were over, Cherise left the campus to find the
driver waiting at the main gate. Moreover, a magnificent Rolls-Royce was parked nearby. Her heart
sank. She rushed the driver and said urgently, “We must leave now!” Cherise feared other students
would see her getting into a luxury car and spread rumors. Unfortunately, what one feared tended to
come true. Once she entered the car, she glanced through the window and saw her classmate, Cressa
Lyes looking at her with a shocked expression. Oh no… Cherise’s heart sank. Cressa was the campus’
notorious gossiper. Any secrets she discovered would be spread all over the campus before the end of
the day. “Sit tight.” A gruff male voice sounded as Cherise pondered how to salvage the matter,
prompting her to turn to him in shock. A man with a strip of black silk over his eyes was sitting in the
seat behind her. She could feel the intimidating aura around him. Cherise exclaimed, “Why are you
here?” Didn’t the butler say the driver would pick me up for dinner with Old Mr. Lenoir? “It’s on the way,”
Damien replied succinctly as he leaned into the seat made of genuine leather. He appeared reluctant to
speak. It seems he hasn’t gotten over what happened at noon… Cherise looked out the window
gloomily. After the car traveled for a while, she noticed something was wrong. Why isn’t this car
heading to Old Mr. Lenoir’s house but to our home? She frowned. “Why aren’t we going to Grandpa’s
place?” Damien answered disdainfully, “Do you want to meet him while dressed like this?” His words
prompted Cherise to look at her clothes. She wore a pair of faded jeans from repeated wash and a
white T-shirt with black writing ‘Rude Fairies!’. Oh… My clothes aren’t appropriate for meeting an elder.
But… “How do you know what I’m wearing?” Isn’t he blind? Damien snorted. “I don’t trust your taste.”
Cherise was rendered speechless. Even though she was mild-tempered, she could not help but feel
displeased to be mocked repeatedly. Thus, she rolled her eyes at him. Then, remembering that he
could not see her, she scowled at him. Once she had enough of venting her anger, she pursed her lips
and looked out the window. “Since you made me go home to change my clothes, you should have
stayed there. Why bother coming out?” He can’t see. It must have been troublesome to leave the
house repeatedly. Damien smirked. He turned to the driver and said indifferently, “Mr. Kolson.” A divider
immediately appeared between the front and back seats, creating two sealed-off spaces in the car.
Damien moved gracefully as he offered Cherise a document. “Have a look at it.” Cherise was confused,
but she flipped through the document nevertheless. It was a lab test report. The items tested were two

bottles of unlabeled medicine. Unlabeled medicine? Aren’t these the ones from Lucy? The ones I gave
him this afternoon? Cherise was shocked that Damien tested the medicine she gave him. On further
thought, she realized he was right to get them tested. After all, he had a weak constitution and could
not simply take any medication. It would be troublesome if they triggered his allergy. Rich people are so
thoughtful! With that in mind, she skipped the rest of the report and read the conclusion. “Huh…”
Cherise was stumped as she read the test result. ‘Our tests identified the samples as drugs to treat the
male reproductive system, specifically impotence, premature ejaculation, and other conditions.’ Cherise
was rendered speechless. What’s going on? Her hands shook, and the document fell onto the carpet
with a loud splat. Damien’s tone carried a hint of threat. “My wife thinks I’m lacking in that department.”
“No… I didn’t… I…” Cherise was so flustered that she kept stuttering. When Lucy gave her the
medicine, she said they were for his eyes. Cherise and Lucy were close, so Cherise never expected
Lucy to trick her. If she had known the medicine’s actual usage, she would never have accepted them.
Damien suddenly reached out and grabbed her, lifting her onto his lap. He had an intimidating yet
seductive aura. Cherise hated herself for blushing. “I…” “Seems like my wife is dissatisfied with our
wedding night.” He held Cherise’s chin with his big hand and slowly parted his lips. “So, she went to the
hospital on the second day of our marriage and got me those medicines. How kind of her.” A strip of
black ribbon covered his eyes, making him appear sensual and flirtatious. Cherise instinctively avoided
Damien’s gaze as he held her chin. “I… I didn’t know the medicines were for that purpose!” “I thought
they were for…” “Mmn…”
