Chapter 446
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 446 Demanding Grandfather
Cherise gently placed her hand on the older manâs hand. âIâm fine! Mr. Lenoir took good care of
me.â
Old Mr. Aaron Tanner furrowed his brow and then glanced at Cherise. âSo, youâre saying that while Mr.
Lenoir treated you well, the other Lenoirs did not?â
Cherise shook her head. âNo, everyone was kind to me!â
Well, except for Tristan and Danielle.
âYouâre keeping something from me. You must think Iâm foolish for believing you.â
Aaron huffed before continuing. They must have mistreated you. Who do they think I am? Iâm your
grandfather, arenât I? Iâll make them pay for it!â
Cherise smiled awkwardly.
âGrandpa, I think this is going too far.â
Weâre just pretending, arenât we? The older man might take it too far⦠If the Lenoirs find out that Iâm
not someone from the Tanner family, I will be in trouble.
âWhat do you mean this is going too far?â
Aaron frowned at Cherise, his gaze filled with discontent. âDemanding them to apologize for mistreating
my granddaughter is never going too far for me. How dare they mistreat you?â
He immediately glared at Peter Lenoir. âWhat do you think?â
Peter smiled wryly. âItâs not going too far. You have every right to demand an apology.â
Peter believed he knew Cheriseâs background. She was known to be Elvis Shawâs daughter, which
meant she carried the burden of being the offspring of a known arsonist. However, Peter married
Damien and Cherise to build bridges with Elvis. Why dwell on the past when they could bond over a
strong marriage? Besides, Cherise was a delightful young woman.
He didnât expect Cherise to be a granddaughter of the Tanner family. This revelation hit him hard, as
having Cherise in their family was a great blessing for the Lenoirs.
However, Raymond and his son, as well as Danielle, had treated Cherise horribly. Therefore, an
apology was necessary.
Cherise grimaced, but before she could remind Aaron that they were only pretending, the older man
released her hand.
âI donât think your family had a festive wedding ceremony and dinner, did they?â
1/2
âNo, we didnât⦠Peter responded quietly.
âThis is what I suggest. I will choose an auspicious date, and letâs have a proper wedding ceremony. I
wonât allow your family to take this marriage lightly. Iâll overlook the fact that you didnât know Cherise
was a Tanner, but now that you do, I will hold you accountable for hosting a grand wedding!â
Cherise observed the interaction silently and once again felt comforted by how much Grandpa Tanner
seemed to care for her.
âIâd also like to have a wedding photoshoot. How can I boast about my granddaughter and her
handsome husband if I canât show off their photos?â
Peter smiled awkwardly once more. âOkay, weâll do it.â
ww
Initially, he had wanted to host a grand wedding for Cherise and Damien when they got married.
However, Cherise was preoccupied with her grandmother and had declined the offer for a wedding and
photoshoot.
She had suggested forgoing the wedding in favor of a simple marriage registration at the registrarâs
office so that she could ask the Lenoirs for a loan to help with her grandmotherâs
treatment.
Peter had thought he could arrange a wedding celebration for Cherise and Damien when the time was
right; he was eager to pursue Aaronâs proposal.
âGreat!â Aaron sighed before adding, âYou Lenoirs better apologize to my granddaughter at their
wedding then!â
