Chapter 447 Planning For The Wedding
“I’m still upset with you, you know!” Aaron seethed at Peter.
“Do you realize how fortunate you are to be able to win over my granddaughter with just a few tens of thousands?”
Peter brightened up at the thought. “Yes, we are truly blessed.”
Aaron stroked his beard, deep in thought. “Let’s meet the fortune teller at Esmeralda’s Caravan on the southern side of the city.”
“That’s quite surprising! I didn’t expect you to be familiar with Esmeralda’s Caravan after being away for so long.”
“Of course, I know the place! I’m not clueless like you. I haven’t met anyone else who would allow someone to marry into their family without fully getting to know them…”
The two older men walked away, almost hand in hand, leaving Cherise behind.
Cherise, on the other hand, was astonished as the older men proceeded to plan her wedding without consulting her and Damien.
A thought suddenly crossed her mind.
“Where’s Damien?” She asked Greg, who bowed and gestured towards the stairs.
Greg led Cherise to the guest room where Damien was resting.
“Mr. Lenoir is exhausted he has been taking care of you despite his poor health. He intended to rest only after accompanying you to meet the Miles, but I think staying up was too much for him.”
Greg sighed. “He was already weak, so the medication they gave him was strong. He’s going to need a long sleep.”
Cherise felt her heart ache as she observed Damien’s pale complexion.
She had been through a lot in the past few days and had been worried about her uncle since meeting Danielle.
She wanted to leave and return to her hometown, where she could cry in the rain in front of her uncle’s house. This was the only way she knew how to cope with her emotions.
She had forgotten that Damien was watching over her and supporting her.
Surely he was exhausting himself taking care of weak old me. Otherwise, why would he allow Danielle Lenoir and Mr. Kolson to administer those medications?
“Mrs. Lenoir… Would you like me to wake Mr. Lenoir?”
Cherise shook her head, her eyes closed as she let out a sigh.
Walking to Damien’s side, she gently patted the mattress before sitting down next to him.
“My dear husband…” Cherise sighed as she held his hand.
“It must have been tiring for you.” She leaned down to kiss him between his eyes and allowed herself to breathe in his scent for a moment.
“Your grandfather has promised to host a wedding for us. Let’s do it. You should rest first before we go looking for my uncle.”
The moon hung high in the sky by the time Damien woke up.
Sitting up, he realized Cherise was asleep by his side, holding his hand.
When he looked up, he saw Beckham, Mandy, Aaron Tanner, and Peter Lenoir in the room with. them.
He motioned for Greg to come closer, and with considerable effort, he got out of bed.
“Good day, Aaron and Beckham… Damien nodded to the two older members of the Tanner family.
“You should start calling us ‘Dad’ and ‘Grandpa.”
Damien was surprised to see Aaron’s usually cheerful smile turn into a serious expression. “We’re here for Cherry because we heard about everything that has happened.”
Damien raised an eyebrow at the statement and glanced at Mandy.
