Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 482 Which Should I Choose?

Cherise pursed her lips, contemplating her options. She simply wanted to remain Cherise Shaw, but it seemed unlikely. With a sad smile, she said, “Okay, Grandpa. Give me some time.” She turned and made her way upstairs.

“As for me, I don’t even know where my parents are. I have no choice but to be a Tanner. The adoped, unloved daughter of the Tanner family.”

Cherise’s heart tightened, but she continued on her way.

That night, after dinner, Cherise pretended to feel unwell and retired early. She lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling without blinking.

Her aunt didn’t want to see her because she had moved on with her new husband and wanted to leave the past behind.

Her uncle didn’t want to maintain frequent contact because he hadn’t fulfilled his promise to return Cherise to her mother. Moreover, he now worked under her mother and couldn’t have a friendly relationship with his master’s daughter.
