Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 503 Caring for Charisa
Beckham, his eyes twinkling with amusement, approached Charisa with a steaming bowl of mushroom soup.
âIâm not here to disrupt your life, Charisa,â he stated with a charming smile. âIâm here to tend to my daughterâs mother; her wedding is just two
days away, and you, as her mother, should be present,â he gently reminded her. âYour absence would be a disappointment to Cherise.â
Despite her frail appearance, Charisaâs eyes sparkled as she retorted at Beckham. Her demeanor, usually reserved and aloof, softened slightly
during their exchange.
Cherise observed their interaction, a myriad of emotions swirling within her. She had always perceived her mother as a distant, unattainable
figure. Despite knowing Charisa was her biological mother, Cherise felt a deep chasm between them.
Watching Charisa lean against the headboard, her expression a blend of frustration and vulnerability, Cherise couldnât help but question her
perceptions.
Perhaps there was more to her mother than met the eye. Perhaps, beneath her aloof exterior, Charisa harbored hidden depths of emotion.
Cherise thought of Damien, a man often perceived as standoffish and reserved. Yet, in her presence, he transformed into a playful rogue, always
up to his mischievous antics.

Perhaps⦠this was the real Charisa, the person she revealed only to those she genuinely loved and considered equals.
As Cherise was lost in her thoughts, Beckham sensed the unusual mood in the air. Although slightly annoyed by Damienâs intrusion, he
maintained his composure and addressed Charisa, âOur daughter is here, Charisa. Shouldnât I take good care of you so you can be in top form
for her wedding?â
When caught off guard by the unexpected suggestion, Cherise could only manage an awkward nod in response.
Charisa, laced with helplessness, protested, âIt was just a simple cold-induced fainting spell. Thereâs no need for such a fuss.â
Cheriseâs gaze darted to Beckham, their eyes meeting silently. Beckhamâs expression was one of quiet appeal, urging for her cooperation.
Clearing her throat, Cherise addressed her mother, âBut fainting from a cold can be serious, Mom Youâve been preoccupied with the wedding
preparations and havenât taken care of yourself.â
âLet Dad take care of you while I focus on the wedding details,â she suggested, her tone laced with
concern.

Charisaâs face hardened into a frown. âI donât need him hovering over me! I have Zacâ¦
âUnfortunately, Zac has been roped in by me, too,â Cherise interrupted unapologetically.
Charisa was left speechless. Why was everyone hell-bent on having this shameless Beckham look
after her?

Before she could complete her sentence, Damien interrupted Cherise, âAuntie, if youâre not entirely confident in Uncle Beckhamâs ability to
ensure your safety, Iâll be happy to step in as your caretaker and tend to my future mother-in-lawâs needs.â
He paused, his gaze unwavering, âHowever, to provide the best possible care, Iâll need to review your medical history thoroughly.â
The man said, shaking his head in distress, âI remember there should be some records in the city libraryâ¦
Damienâs words sent a chill down Charisaâs spine. She knew Damien would not be underestimated; his sharp intellect and resourcefulness were
evident. If he set his mind to investigating her health, he would undoubtedly uncover the truth. And if he knew, so would Cherise. The
consequences of such a revelation were too terrifying to contemplate.
Resigned to her fate, Charisa reluctantly agreed. âDo as you see fitâ¦â
âAfter all,â she added, trying to keep her voice steady, âheâs practically got nothing but time on his hands. Iâm sure he wouldnât mind caring for
things around here.â
âSounds good,â Damien said with a smile, pulling Cherise close. âSo, how about it? Do you want to stay with your parents for a while longer, or
shall we head home first?â
