Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 504 Bumping into The Difficult Tristan
Cheriseâs lips tightened into a thin line. A part of her yearned to stay, to bask in the comfort of her parentsâ presence.
But reason prevailed. As a daughter, she understood the importance of granting her parents the privacy they needed for their reconnection.
With a contrived smile, she turned to Beckham, âWell, Dad, we should probably head out now. Please take care of Mom.â
Beckhamâs reassuring wink conveyed his message. âDonât you fret, my dear. With me here, sheâs in capable hands.â
After bidding farewell to Charisa, Cherise returned to the car with Damien.
Cherise leaned back in the passenger seat as they merged onto the highway, her gaze drifting toward the passing scenery. Her mind wandered
through the labyrinth of memories, intertwining. the past and future of Beckham and Charisaâs bond.
Suddenly, the unfamiliar landscape outside the window caught her attention.

Cheriseâs brow furrowed, âWhere are we going?â
âThe Lenoir Residence, Damien replied.
As Damien brought the car to a halt, he gallantly opened the door and retrieved a stack of invitations from within. âDespite the Lenoirsâ disdain
for me,â he confessed, âIâve always considered them family.â
Today, the sight of Cherise Shaw interacting intimately with her parents tugged at Damienâs heartstrings, stirring a deep-seated longing for the
parental love he once knew. Yet, all that remained were the bitter remnants of a shattered relationship, a void mirrored by his mother, Maeveâs
unwavering disdain.
Drawing a deep breath, Damien extended his hand towards Cherise. âLetâs deliver these invitations and head home, shall we?â he suggested.
Damien extended his hand to Cherise Shaw, guiding her out of the car. Still reeling from the emotional encounter with her parents, Cherise
nodded silently and followed him out of the car.
They approached the imposing Lenoir Manor only to find the front door firmly shut.
Cheriseâs mind drifted back to her first visit to this grand residence, accompanied by Tristan.
The present, however, held a starkly different atmosphere.
As Cherise hesitated before knocking, the door swung open, revealing Tristan, his one visible eye betraying a mixture of surprise and disdain.
He had likely not anticipated encountering Cherise and Damien at this juncture.

âWhat brings you here?â Tristan said, his lone eye darting between Cherise and Damien with a hint of hostility.
Damienâs brow furrowed in response. âNick,â he began, calling Tristan by his childhood nickname.

âDonât call me Nick, Tristan snapped, his voice dripping with disdain. Tve forfeited that privilege long ago!â
Tristanâs eyes flashed with fury as he gestured towards his bandaged eye. âThis is your fault!â he growled, his voice dripping with bitterness.
Tristanâs sudden accusation shattered Cheriseâs composure. Her fists clenched at her sides as anger coursed through her veins.
Her fists clenched tightly at her sides, her voice resonating with defiance, âYou dare to blame us for your eye?â
âListen up. Tristan! We owe you nothing! You said yourself that if you ever laid a hand on me again, youâd end up like Damien, blind. It was
your father who chose Lenoir Group over you.â
âSo, pause and reflect, did we force you into this wager? Did Damien compel your father to blind you? No! It was your father, and you made
those choices; how can you blame us!? Can you believe after what you guys did to him, Damien still wanted to invite the both of you to our
wedding?â
With a deep breath, Cherise snatched the two invitations for Raymond and Tristan from Damienâs hand. She flung them at Tristan, âYour
presence is your choice!â
Her emotions were in turmoil, a volatile mix of anger and frustration.
No one should dare provoke her!
After her outburst, Cherise, in a fit of fury, pulled Damien into the Lenoir Residence, leaving Tristan stunned and speechless.
