Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1218

Chapter 1218 Charles' Betrayal
"But right now, the most important thing is to save Maeve..."

Cherise sighed deeply while Lucy stopped her questioning. Neither could believe that Maeve's hospitalization was due to something like this!

She remembered how good Charles had always been to Maeve before!

He had appeared when she was at her lowest, helping her to see her true face step by step. He stayed with her through the skin graft surgeries and plastic surgeries, finally helping her become who she was now.

Charles held an important position in Maeve's heart. He was so significant that despite her heart condition, she had risked her life to give birth to their child. She was afraid that death would claim her too early and there would be no one left to accompany him.

But in the end…

Cherise squeezed her eyes tight. "I made it clear to you that she was to be handled with kid gloves."

When Damien brought Colin into the fray, she cautioned him to introduce their brother very slowly. Take it step by step, and gradually let Maeve know the truth and prevent her from becoming overstimulated.

But in the end, it was Charles she should have been more concerned about.

"I know..." Charles closed his eyes. "I never meant to..."

He had been set up. His secretaries were always male and never female. Yet today, a new female secretary had boldly invaded his office with a cup of coffee for him. Though irked at her presence, he accepted the coffee because he was thirsty after a busy morning full of meetings.

Charles had always exercised caution in their intimate life for the sake of Maeve's welfare.

He was mindful of hurting her.

Maeve also perceived his circumscription and joked many times about getting him a concubine.

But, Charles had always stopped the discussion from progressing any further.

Consequently, when the drug took effect, it had been impossible for him to continue denying his long-suppressed urges.
