Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Bumping into The Difficult Tristan

Cherise’s lips tightened into a thin line. A part of her yearned to stay, to bask in the comfort of her parents’ presence.

But reason prevailed. As a daughter, she understood the importance of granting her parents the privacy they needed for their reconnection.

With a contrived smile, she turned to Beckham, “Well, Dad, we should probably head out now. Please take care of Mom.”

Beckham’s reassuring wink conveyed his message. “Don’t you fret, my dear. With me here, she’s in capable hands.”

After bidding farewell to Charisa, Cherise returned to the car with Damien.

Cherise leaned back in the passenger seat as they merged onto the highway, her gaze drifting toward the passing scenery. Her mind wandered through the labyrinth of memories, intertwining. the past and future of Beckham and Charisa’s bond.

Suddenly, the unfamiliar landscape outside the window caught her attention.

Cherise’s brow furrowed, “Where are we going?”

“The Lenoir Residence, Damien replied.

As Damien brought the car to a halt, he gallantly opened the door and retrieved a stack of invitations from within. “Despite the Lenoirs’ disdain for me,” he confessed, “I’ve always considered them family.”

Today, the sight of Cherise Shaw interacting intimately with her parents tugged at Damien’s heartstrings, stirring a deep-seated longing for the parental love he once knew. Yet, all that remained were the bitter remnants of a shattered relationship, a void mirrored by his mother, Maeve’s unwavering disdain.

Drawing a deep breath, Damien extended his hand towards Cherise. “Let’s deliver these invitations and head home, shall we?” he suggested. Damien extended his hand to Cherise Shaw, guiding her out of the car. Still reeling from the emotional encounter with her parents, Cherise nodded silently and followed him out of the car.

They approached the imposing Lenoir Manor only to find the front door firmly shut.

Cherise’s mind drifted back to her first visit to this grand residence, accompanied by Tristan.

The present, however, held a starkly different atmosphere.
