Chapter 484
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 484 A Good Husband
Cherise stood outside the door wearing only pajamas and a cardigan.
It was autumn, and the nights were growing colder.
But Damienâs concern for her warmed her heart.
No one⦠No one understood her better than he did. No one loved her more than him.
He comprehended her conflicting emotions and her hesitation.
He advocated for her in front of the Tanners and revealed everything she didnât dare to.
This was Damien Lenoir. Her husband. The man she vowed to spend the rest of her life with.
He understood her, cared for her, and fought for herâ¦.
She was a fortunate woman.
Even if they couldnât have the wedding of her dreams, Cherise felt like the happiest woman on earth.
Because she had encountered the sweetest, kindest man on earth.
âCherise?â
The door to the study opened while she was still lost in thought.
Beckham was surprised to see the young woman standing outside. âAre you still awake?â
âYes.â
Cherise shook her head.
âDid you hear everything we said?â
She nodded.
Beckham looked at her. âIs what heâs saying what youâre thinking? Or are they just his assumptions?â
Cherise clenched her hands into fists.
She looked up at him, âDad.â
âWhen you and Mom were together, could you tell what she was thinkingâ
Cherise was trying to convey that they were in syne
She believed that if she and Damien were like that. Beckham and Charisa would be too
However..

Beckham laughed bitterly, âI thought I knew her.â
âLater on, I realized I never truly understood her.â
Cherise froze. She realized she had misspoke.
Not every married couple was like her and Damien, knowing what the other was thinking.
âIâm sorryâ¦â
Beckham smiled and tousled her hair. âYou didnât mean it.â
He glanced at Damien and then back at Cherise, âI think I understand what you mean.â
âCongratulations on finding a husband who understands you, loves you, spoils you, and fights for you.â
âHe is a good husband.â
He closed his eyes. He saw a younger version of himself and Charisaâs innocent and pure face.
Back then, when he was still with Charisa, she was adorable and sweet, just like Cherise was now,
But⦠He wasnât a good husband.
He never truly comprehended her. He did what he believed was best for her, but in the endâ¦
He was the one who needed protection.
Beckham sighed and tousled Cheriseâs hair. âTreasure this.â
Cherise nodded.
âIâm going to bed.â
Beckham chuckled, âYou guys should go to sleep soon too.â
âYou youngsters shouldnât stay up too late.â
He turned on his heel and left.
Cherise blushed.
She knew Beckham was just trying to get her to go to bed early.
Butâ¦
Why was she having impure thoughts?
Had they been spending too much time together that she was starting to have mappropriate thoughts?
âWhat are you thinking about?
Damien chuckled as Cherise tried to cool her flushed cheeks âUnd le just told us not to stay up lateâ
