Damien’s ability to look at Cherise’s clothing puts more doubt on his blinded conditions. As Lucy, Cherise’s best friend, has implied, Damien might not be a blinded man.
In Marrying The Man In The Dark novel, such a shocking moment of truth leads Cherise to take some series of actions to save herself. Who cares if the butlers and maids didn’t take her seriously?
Meanwhile, Cherise also discovers something about the medicine. What is that?

Part 1: The Memorable Chapters Of Marrying The Man In The Dark Novel
Chapter 6
The title of Marrying The Man In The Dark novel Chapter 6 (“I Don’t Trust Your Taste”) is as critical as Damien’s moments with Cherise. Cherise has had enough of Damien’s butlers and maids’ constant distrust of her. Now, Damien is forcing her to change clothes when they arrive in Old Mr. Lenoir’s house for dinner, because he doesn’t think Cherise’s t-shirt is suitable for a meet-up session with an elder.
Such a remark invokes a shocking reaction from Cherise. After all, she thought Damien was blind, which means, there’s no way he would see through what clothes she wears. Another shocking thing in Marrying The Man In The Dark novel Chapter 6 lies in Cherise’s findings about the medicine Lucy hands to Cherise, and that she must try her best to hide the medicine from Damien.
Chapter 7
Damien, Cherise, and the driver are still inside the car in Marrying The Man In The Dark novel Chapter 7. The driver seems indifferent to Damien and Cherise’s struggles, as he only does his job to transport the couple to the Old Mr. Lenoir’s residence.
Meanwhile, Damien’s robust arms and intimidating gazes bring Cherise to the flashback moments between her and the Old Mr. Lenoir, in which the latter reminds Cherise to be kind to Damien because of his blinded condition. However, Damien’s compliments on Cherise’s brand-new pink dress are another thing that renders Damien’s blinded conditions doubtful.
Part 2: The Primary Stories Of Marrying The Man In The Dark Novel
Damien Lenoir of Marrying The Man In The Dark novel is supposed to be a blind man. At least, that’s what he is in the face of his grandfather, the most respected patriarch in the Lenoir family. As a result, Damien has to wear a blindfold wherever he goes. Even when he opens his blindfold, he can never see anything.
Yet, Damien’s other physical senses are active, including his nose, hands, feet, ears, and instincts. That’s why he can still recognize Cherise Shaw, the woman he marries at his grandfather’s request.
On the other hand, Cherise Shaw of Marrying The Man In The Dark novel is a woman who loves to care for her closest ones. She might not come from a well-off family like Damien’s Lenoir family. Yet, she is a proud caretaker in her family and establishes a close relationship with her grandmother.
Unfortunately, Cherise’s grandmother fell ill at the beginning of the stories in Marrying The Man In The Dark novel. In addition, Cherise’s uncle only presents one solution for her, and that solution is for her to marry Damien. She doesn’t only agree to marry Damien for the sake of paying for her grandmother’s medical bill; instead, Cherise also witnesses the similarity between Damien’s blinded condition and her sick grandmother.
At some points in her life, Cherise thinks if she could take care of her husband the same way she did for her grandmother. However, more episodes of their marriage suggest Damien is not a blinded person.
After all, Damien sometimes throws comments on Cherise’s appearance as if he had seen Cherise’s clothing. So, is it possible Damien’s blinded condition is a mere set-up from both MCs’ families?
Part 3: Some Impressions About Marrying The Man In The Dark Novel
I see many toxic relationship dynamics around Damien and Cherise in Marrying The Man In The Dark novel. By “toxic relationship dynamics”, I don’t only mean Damien and Cherise’s relationships as a husband and wife, even though Damien’s ruthlessness causes him to throw sarcasm at Cherise’s face in incorrect timings.
Instead, I also see the encircling themes of toxic relationship dynamics in Damien and Cherise’s separate private lives. Anyway, the toxicity in their private lives is more than just an arranged marriage scene. After all, the arranged marriage scene is justified through the family’s excuses.
When we re-read Cherise Shaw’s background, we will see this female MC of Marrying The Man In The Dark novel looks like a “born-caretaker” with a tendency to see her significant other as an equal to her most “beloved” family member, which is, her grandmother. It could stem from her insecurity. In other words, who knows, Cherise’s grandmother has conditioned her to be the caretaker, so she would lose herself once she established an independent married life.
Damien Lenoir’s family background is as toxic as Cherise’s. I don’t see any indications of Damien’s so-called blinded conditions in Marrying The Man In The Dark novel. After all, a blinded person can never tell another person’s appearance the same way Damien uses to refer to Cherise’s appearance.
Damien’s family members are cruel and abusive when they frame the non-blinded Damien as blinded just so they can craft their speeches with a stranger like Cherise! Their cruel feelings intensify when Cherise is not as well-off as them. Sadly, that’s how rich people get away from their so-called crimes, and the same thing also frequently happens in real-world settings.

In Marrying The Man In The Dark novel, Damien’s family members, including his grandfather, have planted the seeds of fake pity in his head, as they tell the world about Damien’s blinded conditions. I bet they also do the same for Damien’s wheelchair-bound conditions. It’s not that Damien has involved himself in an accident that damages his physical features that way.
Cherise Shaw, his wife, is the person who can see through Damien’s appearance. Cherise’s experiences with Damien don’t only prove Damien’s arrogant jerk façade. It also proves to the world about the hidden agendas where Damien’s family gets involved in.
When you’ve doubted Damien’s blinded conditions the same way I do, have you thought of a medical professional who can give accurate diagnoses? What if the medical professionals became the MCs of the alternative novel to Marrying The Man In The Dark novel? What if one of the MCs had similar characteristics to Damien?
