Chapter 446 Demanding Grandfather
Cherise gently placed her hand on the older man’s hand. “I’m fine! Mr. Lenoir took good care of
me.”
Old Mr. Aaron Tanner furrowed his brow and then glanced at Cherise. “So, you’re saying that while Mr. Lenoir treated you well, the other Lenoirs did not?”
Cherise shook her head. “No, everyone was kind to me!”
Well, except for Tristan and Danielle.
“You’re keeping something from me. You must think I’m foolish for believing you.”
Aaron huffed before continuing. They must have mistreated you. Who do they think I am? I’m your grandfather, aren’t I? I’ll make them pay for it!”
Cherise smiled awkwardly.
“Grandpa, I think this is going too far.”
We’re just pretending, aren’t we? The older man might take it too far… If the Lenoirs find out that I’m not someone from the Tanner family, I will be in trouble.
“What do you mean this is going too far?”
Aaron frowned at Cherise, his gaze filled with discontent. “Demanding them to apologize for mistreating my granddaughter is never going too far for me. How dare they mistreat you?”
He immediately glared at Peter Lenoir. “What do you think?”
Peter smiled wryly. “It’s not going too far. You have every right to demand an apology.”
Peter believed he knew Cherise’s background. She was known to be Elvis Shaw’s daughter, which meant she carried the burden of being the offspring of a known arsonist. However, Peter married Damien and Cherise to build bridges with Elvis. Why dwell on the past when they could bond over a strong marriage? Besides, Cherise was a delightful young woman.
He didn’t expect Cherise to be a granddaughter of the Tanner family. This revelation hit him hard, as having Cherise in their family was a great blessing for the Lenoirs.
However, Raymond and his son, as well as Danielle, had treated Cherise horribly. Therefore, an apology was necessary.
Cherise grimaced, but before she could remind Aaron that they were only pretending, the older man released her hand.
“I don’t think your family had a festive wedding ceremony and dinner, did they?”

“No, we didn’t… Peter responded quietly.
“This is what I suggest. I will choose an auspicious date, and let’s have a proper wedding ceremony. I won’t allow your family to take this marriage lightly. I’ll overlook the fact that you didn’t know Cherise was a Tanner, but now that you do, I will hold you accountable for hosting a grand wedding!”
Cherise observed the interaction silently and once again felt comforted by how much Grandpa Tanner seemed to care for her.
“I’d also like to have a wedding photoshoot. How can I boast about my granddaughter and her handsome husband if I can’t show off their photos?”
Peter smiled awkwardly once more. “Okay, we’ll do it.”

Initially, he had wanted to host a grand wedding for Cherise and Damien when they got married. However, Cherise was preoccupied with her grandmother and had declined the offer for a wedding and photoshoot.
She had suggested forgoing the wedding in favor of a simple marriage registration at the registrar’s office so that she could ask the Lenoirs for a loan to help with her grandmother’s
treatment.
Peter had thought he could arrange a wedding celebration for Cherise and Damien when the time was right; he was eager to pursue Aaron’s proposal.
“Great!” Aaron sighed before adding, “You Lenoirs better apologize to my granddaughter at their wedding then!”
