Chapter 1091 Cup of Tea
As Damien navigated the speedboat to the island where Raymond was, Cherise disembarked and sensed her legs falter beneath her.
As efficient as ever, Damien's subordinates swiftly penetrated the defenses of the black-clad guards stationed outside, encircling the villa. "Mr. Lenoir," Otto, who had been lurking nearby, rushed over to deliver his report. However, upon catching sight of Cherise, he abruptly froze in his tracks. Cherise offered a hesitant smile in return.
Damien's brow furrowed slightly. "We'll address the issue with Mrs. Lenoir's later. What's the current status?"
"The villa has two exits, one facing the front and the other at the rear," Otto finally breathed a sigh of relief, his voice hushed as he reported. "The staff occasionally use the rear door to dispose of rubbish, offering a potential point of entry. Meanwhile, the front entrance remains sealed shut, untouched. Every window in the villa is shrouded, leaving the interior a mystery..."
Damien's brow knit in a frown, poised to interject, when the front door swung open. "Greetings, esteemed guests. Please, do come inside," a middle-aged woman garbed in servant's attire chirped as she stepped out. "My master has thoughtfully prepared hot tea for your enjoyment."
Otto cast a frightened glance at Damien. "This is the villa's servant..."
"The night air bears a chill," the servant remarked louder when met with silence. Raising her voice, she continued, "My master thoughtfully noted that a steaming cup of tea would be a most welcome respite on such a cold evening. Especially with a lady among you."
Otto turned to Damien, his expression a blank slate. "Mr. Lenoir, what do we do?"
Raymond's apparent lack of status struck them even more, starkly contrasting with Beckham's relatively comfortable confinement. While Beckham sat restrained in a chair with cushioned support, Raymond knelt, his restraints leaving him in an inferior position that was difficult to fathom.
Cherise stole a glance at Damien, who, despite his shock, maintained his composure. Squinting, he addressed the figure before them, "And who might you be..."
"Hello, Damien." The man offered a faint smile, turning to meet Damien's gaze.

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
