“Hmm”
“Are you feeling shy?”
Cherise was dumbstruck.
“We’ve been married for a while. It’s not the first time I’ve carried you. The man’s soothing tone made Cherise sigh before she cautiously climbed onto his back.
As Damien carried her, one hand supported her lower b*dy while the other held a flashlight. He went down the stairs carefully.
“Am I heavy?” Cherise asked tentatively with flushed cheeks upon hearing the man’s slightly labored breathing.
“Yes” The man smiled lightly. “I’m carrying the entire world on my back. Of course, you’re heavy”
Cherise was dumbfounded. “Where did you pick up such corny lines?”
“From your favorite romance novels.”

“Quite a few.”

She was finally willing to express her feelings and reveal her vulnerable side to him. This signified that she had genuinely accepted him.
It utterly thrilled him, and he took each step even more cautiously.
“I’m not afraid of the dark.” Cherise quickly changed the topic as he stayed silent. “I was genuinely startled by the sound of the door earlier.”
“I know.” The man smiled nonchalantly. “But Cherise, you’re with me now. What would you do if you encountered this situation alone with the kids?”
Cherise’s figure froze slightly. She had faced such a situation before…
“I would pretend not to be scared.” The woman curled her lips. Her clear voice was slightly helpless. “I can’t let the kids think I’m scared, can I?”
“To them, their mom is strong and brave. Therefore, I’ll pretend I’m fine before them, even if I’m scared.” The woman’s voice was as resolute and earnest as ever. “Because I’m a hero to my kids.”
Damien’s hand froze as he was carrying her. He vividly imagined this petite and delicate woman putting on a brave face. It was a heart-wrenching sight.
“You don’t have to put on such a brave front with me in the future.” His deep voice was slightly emotional as he spoke earnestly. “You’re a hero to the kids, but I’m your hero.”
