Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1104
Chapter 1104 Raise A Toast
"I haven't had the chance to travel much, so I'm still quite uninformed. I'm not very acquainted with many of the seafood dishes here," Cherise admitted.
"Well, lucky for you, I am! Let me give you the rundown," Colin chimed in eagerly, using his utensils to point out each dish to Cherise. "This one's the brown crab. Look at it. Isn't it darker than a usual crab? And this one..."
Colin delved into detailed explanations of each dish while Cherise listened attentively, nodding and responding to each. The atmosphere at the table instantly took on the semblance of a kindergarten teacher leading children on a museum tour.
"Dr. Shaw has quite the charm," Jude remarked with a slight smile. "Much like Phoenix in the past—always genuine and blunt. She's true to herself and puts on no pretense or airs of nobility." After that, Jude shot an icy, meaningful glance at Anthony. "What do you think, Dad?"
Anthony's disdainful scrutiny of Cherise was interrupted by Jude's words, snapping him back to the present. "What was that?" he asked, a touch of confusion in his tone.
"I was just saying," Jude replied with a faint smile, "Mrs. Lenoir is so delightful. Doesn't she resemble Phoenix back then?"
At the mention of Phoenix, Anthony's expression instantly hardened. "Don't speak of that uncultivated woman!" With those words, a heavy silence descended upon the table.
"Let's raise a toast to Dr. Shaw," Jude interjected, in a good mood after seeing his father concede. He raised his glass with a cheerful smile directed at Cherise. "Dr. Shaw has been married to Mr. Lenoir for so many years, yet she's still so genuine. That's commendable, don't you think?"
Colin chimed in, nodding in agreement. "Absolutely. Let's toast to Dr. Shaw... no, let's toast to my sister-in-law!"
Damien offered a faint smile and winked at Cherise. As she hesitated, raising her glass, she couldn't help but wonder if this was genuine praise or subtle mockery. "Um… I don't think it's a big deal…" The ambiguity left her uncertain of how to respond.

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. ❤️...
