Chapter 193 He’s Lying
“You’ve also heard about what Lennon did?”
“Of course.” Jacob grimaced. “You never mentioned to him that she’s your wife. That guy bugs me
every day, asking if there’s another woman in your house who’s neither your wife nor your servant. It’s
annoying!”
Damien took a sip of his tea with a smile. “Did you tell him?”
Jacob shook his head firmly. “Absolutely not. The more he probes, the less inclined I am to tell him
anything.”
“Good job,” Damien commended.
“Of course!” Jacob raised his tea unceremoniously. “I look forward to seeing the expression on his face
when he realizes the girl he’s interested in is your wife. That would be an incredible

Damien merely replied with another smile.
After leaving the house, Cherise hailed a cab to meet lan.
The moment she walked into the cafe, she spotted him seated beside the windows.
He was dressed casually in white, which made him appear handsome and gentlemanly.
Cherise waved at him before walking over and taking a seat. “What’s the matter, lan? It seems urgent.”
Even though she was slightly annoyed that he woke her from her nap, she knew he was a polite. and
reasonable person. Hence, she didn’t hold any grudges against him.
“Well, you see…” Ian took a deep breath before continuing. “Didn’t you bring your husband to Dr.
Johnson the other day?”
She nodded. “Indeed. But he doesn’t seem to be able to cure him…Never mind about that!”
She finished with a smile, knowing that Damien had consulted a team of specialists abroad and was on
track to regain his eyesight within a week.
“That’s not quite the case.” lan weighed his words carefully as he passed her a cup of coffee. “After the
session, Dr. Johnson confided in me privately that there doesn’t seem to be any issues with your
husband’s eyes.”
Cherise froze, her grip on the cup tightening. “What do you mean?”

“It means that he’s not blind. He’s been lying to you all this while.”
A heavy silence descended upon them.
With a frown, she asked, “What? You’re saying that… his eyes have been perfectly fine all along and
that he’s lying to me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlan nodded gravely. “Yes. It’s not that Mr. Johnson couldn’t cure him-it’s simply because there’s nothing
wrong with him in the first place. He’s been lying to you. Cherise.”
“That’s impossible. Cherise shook her head firmly and smiled back at fan. “You must be quite
prejudiced toward my husband, lan. He’s a bad liar, especially to me. We’re husband and wife. there’s
no need to lie to each other. Even if he were a liar, I’m sure he would never lie to me.”
Determination blazed in her eyes as she defended Damien.
Damien once said that the most important thing between a couple is trust. Before we can trust each
other, we have to first be honest. Since he brought it up before, it shows he’s already been doing that.
Hence, she didn’t believe lan’s bold statement at all.
“Stop pulling my leg, lan.”
On the other side of the table, Ian’s brows were locked into a tight frown.
It’s not a bad sign that she doesn’t believe me-it shows how much she trusts Damien. The greater the
trust, the greater the feelings of betrayal and despair when the truth is revealed.
He took a deep breath and proposed, “How about this, Cherry? Let’s make a bet.”
