Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 14 I Didn’t Do Anything Wrong

Lucy didn’t finish her sentence.

Because she clearly felt that Damien, next to Cherise, had a strange disposition.

Lucy bit her lips and said goodbye to Cherise before leaving.

Damien was silent on the way back from the school to the villa.

Cherise wanted to say something to Damien a few times but didn’t know what to say, so she could only stay silent.

After returning to the villa, the first thing Cherise did was to put together the torn certificates little by little.

It wasn’t easy to join together the ripped pieces.

Most of the cards and postcards Cherise’s grandmother had written her were burned and destroyed. It was difficult to restore them.

Sitting before a desk, Cherise looked at the burned and damaged photo album bitterly. She privately cursed Tristan repeatedly.

After that, she was about to keep the photo album when a card fell out.

She picked it up and wanted to put it back in but realized something else was stuck to it. It was an old picture of a boy.

Half the photograph was burned.

Cherise looked at the picture for a long time but couldn’t recognize the boy. She carefully put the photo into the album and kept it.

When she had a chance, she had to ask her grandmother why a picture of someone else was stuck to a card for her.

When she was done with everything, the sky had darkened.

Frances knocked on the door. “Mrs. Lenoir, Old Mr. Lenoir called to ask you and Mr. Lenoir to go to Lenoir Residence. You should get ready.”

Cherise raised her eyes to look at the time. It was already eight o’clock at night. Grandpa wantsus to go there now?

She vaguely felt a bad premonition in her heart.

When Cherise had changed her clothes, Damien was already waiting for her in the car.

“Grandpa wants us to go there so late at night… Does it have anything to do with what happened with Tristan today?”
