Chapter 1099 Unnecessarily Suspicious
"Ah!" Colin leaped from the sofa, startled. He glared angrily at Cherise, still holding the cup of water, and demanded, "What are you doing!?"
Cherise shrugged and replied, "They've been waiting an hour to take your statement. I just kindly woke you up." With that, she placed the cup down and swiftly left.
"Cherise Shaw!" Colin seethed, calling out, "Watch out!"
Cherise retorted, "Whatever."
"You... you!" Colin fumed, "Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
Damien entered the room at that moment, overhearing Colin's threat. "Mr. Gray, have you forgotten our agreement?" The corners of Damien's lips raised in a faint smile. "Watch your manners with her."
Colin paused before responding, "No! I haven't returned to the Gray family yet! No one can control me now."
"Is that so?" Damien chuckled lightly, walking over to Cherise and gracefully placing a hand on her shoulder. "If you don't start adapting now, can you guarantee you won't slip up when you return to the Gray family?"
"If you want me to help you break free from the Gray family and escape a marriage you don't want, then you need to remember from now on that I'm your twin brother. And Cherise... is your sister-in-law."
"We're just taking my dad home!" Cherise sighed, also rolling her eyes in frustration. "If you're worried, why not come with us? Will you be satisfied if you witness it firsthand?"
But Colin remained adamant, shaking his head. "I've said it before. You're familiar with Tanner Residence's surroundings. Even if I accompany you, what if you subdue me too?"
Cherise sighed once more. "You're getting suspicious unnecessarily."
Damien smiled ruefully, then asked Beckham, "Father, what are your thoughts?"

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. ❤️...
