Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 769 The Lenoir Family Heirloom
âAfter all, we were in love. I want to pay my respects at his grave.â
Damien furrowed his brow. âAre you saying⦠you were in love with my father?â
Although Damienâs parents passed away when he was young, his sister would always tell him that his parents had
been each otherâs first love. They had been together from their first date and throughout their marriage. It was a
relationship without infidelity.
But now, Patricia claimed that she and Damienâs father had once been in love.
âThatâs correct.â Patriciaâs cheeks blushed slightly. âNow that I think about it, it was over twenty years ago. Your
father and I met in a bar in Europeâ¦â
A hint of bashfulness swept across Patriciaâs face as she reminisced. âHe was charming, and I was in the prime of
my youth, so⦠I had a secret relationship with him behind Walterâs back.â
Damien remained silent. His frown deepened.
He regarded Patricia with a somewhat puzzled expression. âMrs. Miles, are you sure the man you were involved
with was my father? Could you have mistaken him for someone else?
Patricia immediately shook her head. âHow could I possibly confuse him? Is there another Hansen Lenoir in this
world, a young, successful man with numerous businesses under his control?â
âBesidesâ¦â She gazed at Damien dreamily. âYour features bear a striking resemblance to your fatherâs.â
Damien was somewhat frustrated. âAll of us in the Lenoir family share similar physical traits.â
He shook his head with conviction. âMrs. Miles, I believe you may have mistaken someone else for my father. My
father was not that kind of man, and my parents had a loving marriage. Moreover, my father passed away many
years ago. You shouldnât tarnish a deceased manâs reputation without solid evidence.â
Having said this, Damien stood up to leave.
âI⦠I have proof!â Patricia urgently grabbed Damienâs arm and produced a cufflink from her pocket. âLook, doesnât
this belong to the Lenoir family?â
Damien frowned and glanced at the cufflink. His pupils dilated in shock.
Patricia was not lying. The cufflink in her hand was indeed a Lenoir family heirloom. It was a specially crafted
cufflink worn with custom-made suits during important ceremonies or meetings. There was even a small âLâ
engraved on it.
Damien took the cufflink and held it in his hand. âThisâ¦â
âItâs something from the Lenoir family, right?â Patricia seemed a little smug. âDamien, I understand you might find
it difficult to accept this truth, but there was indeed something between your father and meâ¦â
âWe evenâ¦â
She left her sentence unfinished.
âRegardless,â Patricia looked up at Damien, âI only want to know where your fatherâs grave is and visit him to pay
my respects. Itâs been so many years. Thereâs no point in dwelling on the past.â

She smiled and put the cufflink in her pocket. Then, she took a piece of paper and a pen from her pock
You just need to give me the address of your fatherâs grave.*
Damien rubbed his aching forehead. Til send you the precise location of the grave later. Is there anything
che
âYesâ Patricia pursed her lips. âItâs about the collaboration between Lenoir Group and the Miles family. I hope you
will consider my past relationship with your father and agree to a joint venture.â
