MARRYING THE MAN IN THE DARK - Season 1 Episode 41

Cherise initially wanted to turn him down, but she thought of what he had previously said and ultimately

nodded in agreement.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurants near the hospital were crowded.

Ian took Cherise to a restaurant slightly further away.

The afternoon sun was blazing above them. Ian was considerate and bought an umbrella by the side of

the road to shield Cherise from the sun.

“You’re so attentive, Ian.”

She smiled, feeling moved.

Ian laughed lightly. “It’s only natural to take care of you.”

The man’s words made Cherise blush.

“But why were you at the hospital?”

Ian’s distinct and bright voice was like a clear spring on a summer’s day. “You said you came with your

friend last time. What about this time?”

“I came to visit my relative.”

Cherise and Ian walked under the umbrella side by side. Her heart started to beat furiously. “Ian.”

“Hmm?”

“I remember you previously told me that when you were in university, you made a lot of money from

working part–time jobs, right?”

She had agreed to eat with Ian because she remembered this.

“You’re looking for a job?”

Jan laughed lightly and reached out to stroke her head. “You still work so hard.””

Cherise smiled and lied. “I want to earn money to pay for my school fees.”

The man’s brows furrowed. “You’re paying for your school fees?”

“Doesn’t your husband take care of you?”

He was startled when he found out that she had gotten married. But when he thought about it, she

would have someone to take care of her after getting married. It wasn’t bad for a girl like Cherise with

such a family background.

But now, she wanted to earn money to pay her school fees?

Cherise was surprised and immediately shook her head. “It’s not that he doesn’t take care of me…”

“I just want to earn money to sign up for cooking classes. I don’t want my husband to know. I want to

surprise him.”

Ian’s brows slowly relaxed.

He laughed bitterly. “It looks like you love him a lot.”

Cherise nodded with flushed cheeks. “So, do you have any good part–time jobs to recommend, lan?”

lan looked up and saw the signboard before him. “We’re here. Let’s eat first and talk later.”

Cherise could only nod as she followed him into the restaurant.

She was preoccupied when they were eating.

Her mind was filled with what had happened when she previously ate with Ian.

The last time she ate with lan, Damien found out at once.

Does he know this time?Will he call me and instruct people to capture me like last time?

Cherise was fearful until she finished lunch, but Damien didn’t contact her.

“Since you’re majoring in nursing, I can recommend a sanatorium where you can work part–time as a

nursing assistant.”

After lunch, Ian scrolled through his cell phone. “I have a friend who’s working at the sanatorium. Many

nursing assistants work there part–time, and the pay is pretty good, but the job is quite demanding.”

“You cared for your grandmother so well. I believe you’re capable.”

As he spoke, he called his friend.

His friend was glad that a university student like Cherise wanted to work part–time and immediately

wanted her to go for an interview.

With directions from lan, Cherise took a bus to the sanatorium. The interview went on for an hour.

Cherise could readily answer all the questions about taking care of patients.

Therefore, both parties quickly finalized the pay and working hours and immediately signed a

part–time contract.

Cherise officially started working in the afternoon.

She was on her feet until past six in the evening.

“Mrs. Lenoir, why aren’t you home yet?”

Frances called Cherise when it was almost seven. “Mr. Lenoir is waiting for you to come back and eat

with him.”
