    Chapter 175 A Rumored Reality


    Even though they could assist the restaurant owner during their stay, Vivian and her entourage might


    be even more problematic once they leave. Cherise knew she couldn’t stay here to offer help,


    leaving her regretful.


    Damien keenly observed Cherise’s downcast expression and glimpsed ayer of profound emotion in


    her eyes.


    Upon returning to the car after their meal, Cherise’s spirits were still low. However, as the car gradually


    approached the small vige she once called home, the young woman’s excitement couldn’t be


    contained. Eagerly, she began introducing the area’s geography to everyone, anticipating the reunion


    with her family.


    Finally, as the car passed a massive willow tree, they arrived at Cherise’s uncle’s home, Elvis Shaw’s


    residence.


    The moment the car came to a stop, the young girl hastily exited and dashed into the yard.

    It was a little


    past two in the afternoon, and Mary Dawson was basking in the sun by her wall. Beside her, her


    daughter-inw, Sarah, was sorting out the soles of her shoes.


    “Grandma! Aunt Sarah!”


    The young girl’s excited voice reverberated crisply through the yard.


    Sarah and Mary raised their heads, witnessing Cherise sprinting towards them. They couldn’t help but


    break into smiles.


    Cherise threw herself into the arms of the kind-hearted olddy. “Grandma! I’ve missed. you so much!”


    The olddy patted her back lovingly and asked, “Why are you back suddenly?”


    “I missed you, so I came back!”


    Sarah also smiled and asked, “Did youe back alone?”


    “No!”


    Cherise beamed and lifted her head, pointing towards the door. “I brought my husband with me!”


    Sarah looked in the direction of the door and noticed Damien, who was seated in a wheelchair, being


    pushed by ke.

    Herplexion paled instantly. “Cherise, why did you bring the young master of the Lenoirs here?”


    Cherise was taken aback, realizing that Sarah’s response was far from weing. “My husband has


    never been to the countryside before. I just brought him along…”


    Sarah looked at Damien from a distance, her expression somewhat unpleasant, and she lowered her


    voice. “Ben from next door recently had a falling out with your uncle. He’s been spreading rumors in the


    vige, iming that your uncle couldn’t resolve his issues. until he married you off to a disabled


    person.”


    She gazed at Cherise reproachfully. “Why didn’t you give us a heads-up? The whole vige has been


    making fun of our familytely. Your uncle has been isting himself at home. due to this situation.


    Bringing Mr. Lenoir here now, aren’t you adding to the chaos?”


    Ben was Vivian’s father.


    Sarah’s exnation rified why Vivian had caused trouble when they were in town. Cherise pursed


    her lips. “What should we do then?”


    Damien had taken the time to apany her back. Cherise was too excited to anticipate the potential


    problems at home. In the countryside, rumors spread much faster than in the city. Being constantly


    pointed at and talked about by everyone was undeniably ufortable.


    Mary squinted thoughtfully as she leaned against the earthen wall, her gaze filled with warmth as she


    regarded Cherise. “Don’t bother yourself with that nonsense. Go enjoy your time with Mr. Lenoir.”


    “This is, in fact, our reality-people aren’t making it up,” Mary further emphasized.


    Meanwhile, Sarah stayed silent, her lips tightly pressed together.


    Inside, Damien had already been guided into the house by ke, where they joined the


    others.


    Behind them, Mr. Kolson held a collection of gift bags, big and small.


    The dogs in the yard began to bark, and Elvis Shaw, who had been inside the house all this. time,


    emerged.
