Chapter 49 A Man of Honor

“Yes.”

Cherise raised her head and smiled at Lila. “I will do my best.”

She dipped her hand into the cold water and wiped it across her forehead, summoning the energy to

continue.

But the cold water only worked for a short time.

After that, she placed pins into her pocket. Anytime she nodded off, they would jab her awake.

She spent the entire afternoon in a daze.

When it was time to leave, she ran into Ian as usual.

“You haven’t had your dinner yet, right?”

Ian furrowed his forehead while looking at Cherise, exhausted in his passenger seat. “I’ll buy you a

meal.”

She shook her head. “Please just send me home, Ian. He’s probably waiting for me to have dinner

together.”

Cherise felt overwhelmed when she remembered that Damien would be waiting for her to feed and

bathe him.

He’s waiting to have dinner together.

Ian’s hand on the steering wheel paused when Cherise said those words.

He looked at her pale face with an aching heart. “Is it worth it to work yourself this hard?”

From his perspective, Cherise should have an easy life since she married a rich man.

Don’t people say that older menusually treat their wives better?Can it be that he refused to give her

money? Is he abusing her?

“There’s nothing that is not worth it.”

She leaned her head against the headrest. She had no energy to speak anymore, much less argue

with Ian. “I’m exhausted, Ian. Let me take a nap.”

She shut her eyes and immediately drifted off.

She was drained.

She did not have enough rest. With the labor she had done in the sanatorium, she was ready to

drop at any time.

Ian peeked through the rearview mirror. The tired woman’s face left a sour taste in his mouth.

When he arrived at the crossroad to Swan Lake Chateau, he made up his mind and drove in the

opposite direction.

The old man is not worth Cherise’s efforts. It’s pretty late, yet the man doesn’t bother to call her. I’m not

surprised if he has a lover somewhere. He probably doesn’t care about Cherise at all.

He felt more at ease with these thoughts.

He turned the wheel and drove straight toward the direction of his apartment.

If the old man were not willing to treasure her, he would!

Cherise was a naïve, simple, and lovely woman. She should be with an outstanding young man like

him!

He had not driven for long when Cherise’s phone began ringing.

The weary woman could not even hear the ringing.

Ian stopped the car on the roadside and took out the phone. A cold smile appeared on his lips when he

saw the words ‘Hubby‘ on the screen. “Hello.”

“Mr. Philips.”

The frosty voice on the other end made Ian shiver. “I was hoping you would be a man of honor, but

you’ve let me down.”

The indifferent and calm voice felt domineering even through the call.

Ian froze, and his heart rate quickened. His voice was slightly shaky. “Who are you?”

“You know who I am.”

The man’s calmness was frightening compared to Ian’s uneasiness. “You’re well aware that she has

her own family, yet you’re taking the opportunity to bring her back to your home when she’s asleep. Mr.

Philips, do you think she would still have any respect for you if she knew that you have done such a

thing?”
