Chapter 326 The Tanners

Cherise became blue in the face.

She coughed lightly. “Miss Tanner, there must be a misunderstanding here…”

“I… My family isn’t prestigious by any means.”

Gwenn stopped, turned around, and looked at her with a confused expression, as if waiting for an

explanation.

Cherise pursed her lips. “I do not come from a wealthy background. It’s quite modest, actually…”

“I grew up in the countryside.”

Gwenn frowned in thought. “Oh, are you what they call a ‘fallen noble’ in your country?”

“No wonder you seem so unsophisticated.”

Cherise pursed her lips, feeling that she needed to set Gwenn straight.

“You’re mistaken. I am not some fallen noble.”

“I’m just an ordinary country girl.”

“To be honest, this is my first time abroad. I didn’t have a lot growing up, and I’ve never seen such

grandeur before.”

“My husband married me, not because of my family, but because he loves me for who I

am.”

Gwenn looked at her incredulously. “You’re joking.”

“If your family isn’t wealthy, I don’t understand why someone like Mr. Lenoir would be with you.”

“Because she’s kind and adorable, and she understands courtesy.”

Damien came over, luggage in one hand, the other elegantly resting on Cherise’s shoulder. “And even

when she meets someone for the first time, like you, Miss Tanner, she won’t make fun of them even if

she doesn’t like them. That’s what’s most precious about her.”

His voice was deep and indifferent, each word light, but when put together, they felt like an intense shot

to Gwenn’s heart.

Gwenn frowned and decided not to take this further. “Everyone, let’s get in the car.”

With Damien’s thoughtful assistance, Cherise got into the car.

Damien’s earlier words had rendered Gwen silent for the rest of the journey.

When the car had come to a halt, she frowned and ordered the servants to accommodate Damien and

Cherise, then left without even a word of greeting.

Cherise was dumbfounded. “This woman, Miss Tanner…”

Does she lack common courtesy?

After all, they were invited by her, but she left them with the servants without a word.

“The Tanners normally behave this way; don’t mind her.”

Damien rubbed her head. “Let’s get out, get settled, and then pay our respects to the elders of the

Tanner family.”

Cherise nodded and got out of the car.

Outside the car was a whole new world.

She had not expected to see such magnificent traditional architecture in this foreign land.

The grand structure reminded her of the ancient palaces she saw in the movies. Calling it a castle

would not be an overstatement.

Man-made hills, streams, patios, carved corridors, and a garden full of greenery.

For a moment, Cherise wondered if she had come to the wrong place.

Is this… Not a movie set?

If not for the people in suits moving in the area, she would have thought she had traveled

back in time!

Understanding the awe displayed on her face, a servant of the Tanner family began to lead

way while quietly explaining, “Our old master loves the ancient style, and the master indulges him, so

he had the house fit out to old master’s liking.”

the

Cherise looked around in astonishment and could not help but comment, “Such a filial

son… Your master.”

“Of course!”
