Chapter 704 Wonât You Get Jealous?
Cherise bit her l i p and instinctively stepped back. Although she had a clear conscience, it was somewhat embarra*sing and uncomfortable to be caught wishing for Damien to have an accident.
She was so nervous that she didnât even notice Damien referring to her as âMrs. Lenoirâ instead of the initial âDr. Shaw.â
Damien cornered her, pressing one hand against the wall and gripping her chin with the other, forcing her to look into his eyes. âDid I just hear you express a wish for me to have an accident, Mrs. Lenoir?â
Cherise pursed her l i p s and guiltily looked away. âYou must have misheard.â
âI doubt it.â He smiled at her. âWhat kind of accident do you wish upon me, Mrs. Lenoir? A car crash? A fire? A flood? OrâŠâ
He leaned in close to her ear, his voice low and seductive. âOr should I âaccidentallyâ give in to pleasure with you right here?â
Cherise was speechless. How could this man let his carnal desires dictate his thoughts all the time?
But his words helped ease her tension. If he could joke at a time like this, it meant he wasnât angryâŠ
Cherise took a deep breath and looked up at him. âIâm just frustrated that the two sisters are freeloading here. FurthermoreâŠ
Rowena didnât save you three years ago! It was me!
Cherise couldnât get the words out because just as she was about to speak, Ursulaâs blood-curdling scream echoed from upstairs. âWeena!â
Both Cherise and Damien furrowed their brows downstairs.
âGo and investigate.â Cherise had no desire to see those two-faced sisters. However, they were in Lenoir Manor, and Damien would be held responsible if something happened to them.
Damien held her hand. âLetâs go.â
âIâm not going.â She tried to shake off his hand. âTheyâre your guests. They have nothing to do with me.â
âBut youâre a doctor.â Damien sighed in exasperation. He embraced her forcefully, gently stroking her head. âBesides, if I go aloneâŠâ He tilted her chin, making her meet his gaze. âWonât you get jealous?â
Cherise rolled her eyes. âOf course not.â
If this had happened before her conversation with Ursula, Cherise might have been jealous watching Damien take care of Rowena. But she couldnât be bothered to feel jealous after discovering the truth about Rowena âsavingâ Damien back then.
She felt both indignant and amused. How naive could this man be?
âYou still have to come with me.â He smiled, k i s s i n g her forehead. âYou should come and a*sert your dominance over me, right?â

âWhy should I?â Cherise pouted. Although she secretly felt pleased, she maintained an indifferent. expression. âYou donât belong to me. Youâre just my ex-husband,â
âIâm your ex and current husband.â Damien completely ignored what she said. He took her hand and led her upstairs.
âWeena!â Ursula sobbed in the guest room upstairs, clutching Rowenaâs knees.
At that moment, Rowena had a pale complexion as she slumped in the wheelchair, seemingly
unconscious.
âI know youâve always favored Cherise. Youâve never cared for my sister!â Ursula cried and angrily berated Frances, who stood at one side. âMy sister has poor health, and you actually resorted to drugging her to prove your loyalty to Cherise!â
