Chapter 326 The Tanners
Cherise became blue in the face.
She coughed lightly. “Miss Tanner, there must be a misunderstanding here…”
“I… My family isn’t prestigious by any means.”
Gwenn stopped, turned around, and looked at her with a confused expression, as if waiting for an explanation.
Cherise pursed her lips. “I do not come from a wealthy background. It’s quite modest, actually…”
“I grew up in the countryside.”
Gwenn frowned in thought. “Oh, are you what they call a ‘fallen noble’ in your country?”
“No wonder you seem so unsophisticated.”
Cherise pursed her lips, feeling that she needed to set Gwenn straight.
“You’re mistaken. I am not some fallen noble.”
“I’m just an ordinary country girl.”
“To be honest, this is my first time abroad. I didn’t have a lot growing up, and I’ve never seen such grandeur before.”
“My husband married me, not because of my family, but because he loves me for who I
am.”
Gwenn looked at her incredulously. “You’re joking.”
“If your family isn’t wealthy, I don’t understand why someone like Mr. Lenoir would be with you.”
“Because she’s kind and adorable, and she understands courtesy.”
Damien came over, luggage in one hand, the other elegantly resting on Cherise’s shoulder. “And even when she meets someone for the first time, like you, Miss Tanner, she won’t make fun of them even if she doesn’t like them. That’s what’s most precious about her.”
His voice was deep and indifferent, each word light, but when put together, they felt like an intense shot to Gwenn’s heart.

Gwenn frowned and decided not to take this further. “Everyone, let’s get in the car.”
With Damien’s thoughtful assistance, Cherise got into the car.
Damien’s earlier words had rendered Gwen silent for the rest of the journey.
