Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Helpless And Lonely 

This position had always belonged to Gwen, but she was demoted to the corner, feeling helpless and lonely. 

Meanwhile, Kareen was taken away by Zachary 

No one cared about Gwen anymore, even though they would usually flatter her and speak to her with respect. 

Jealousy consumed her as she watched Cherise take her place as the true daughter of the Tanner family. 

I’m….. no longer part of the family. I have no rights to- 

“Gwen!” Before blowing out the candles, Beckham couldn’t bear to leave her in that state and asked her to join him. 

“Let’s blow out the candles together.” 

Tears welled up in her eyes. “B-But, Grandpa said…” 

“Even though you’re no longer part of the family, we have been father and daughter for so many years. I can’t just abandon you like that.” Beckham sighed. “But if you continue to abuse your position, the Tanner family might disinherit you.” 

Wiping away her tears, Gwen replied, “I understand.” 

Looking at Cherise beside her, she quietly concealed the animosity in her eyes. 

Although Aaron was displeased with Beckham’s actions, he didn’t comment on it. 

As they blew out the candles together, he asked Cherise to stand beside him and warned. Gwen in a low voice, “If you have any ill intentions towards my baby Cherry, I will not let it go!” 

Gwen clenched her fists tightly, but she still replied respectfully, “Yes, Grandpa. I will change my ways.” 

Finally, the cake was cut after the host of the ceremony made an announcement, and. Cherise got the most delicious piece. 

Sitting on the couch, she happily swung her legs as she savored it. “Grandpa was right- this is really delicious. It’s the best cake I’ve ever had!” 

Damien smiled helplessly and pushed his portion towards her. “Take it. There’s more.”

Surprised by his actions, Cherise turned to look at him. “Aren’t you eating too, dear?” 

“I don’t like cream.” 

He’s lying! Back in Adania, he’s the one who asked Frances to prepare cakes filled with cream and spread it all over my body before eating it! 

However, she understood his underlying intentions-he wanted her to enjoy more of the food she liked. 

Taking advantage of his distraction, she fed him a spoonful of cake. 

Stunned by the sudden food in his mouth, he glared at her before swallowing it-that was the only action he could take. 

“Don’t say things like that anymore. I know you like this too.” Cherise took a bite before. scooping some onto a spoon and lifting it to his mouth. “Sharing food together will bring us closer.” 

He looked at her in exasperation and ate the cake she offered. They continued this until she finished her portion. 

Finally, he surrendered. “I can’t eat anymore. I’m full.” 

When she saw the expression on his face, she stopped feeding him and finished the rest of his cake as her legs swung back and forth on the couch. 

Beside her, Damien played with his phone as he quietly observed Beckham, who was talking to other people at the party. 

I initially thought Cherise was someone Grandpa found in the countryside. It turns out her father is Beckham Tanner.
