“Damien is a member of the Lenoir family. He’s your cousin. You should be considerate of him!”
Tristan frowned. “He’s out to get me! He insisted I should apologize to his wife just now.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“That woman knew I was coming and dressed to seduce me. I only touched her a bit, yet. he made me apologize!”
‘Smack!’
Raymond slapped Tristan before he could finish speaking. “Have you no shame? She’s your cousin’s wife!”
“Are
you saying I can’t touch her because she’s his wife?”
“I don’t mean you can’t. We can’t afford to offend Damien at the moment!”
Cherise was still drinking her milkshake when Raymond appeared, dragging Tristan with.
him.
“Damien.”
Raymond looked apologetic. “It’s my fault for failing to discipline Tristan well. I apologize to you… and Cherise on his behalf.”
Damien smiled.
Although he knew the apology was insincere, at least he acted more seriously than Tristan.
Cherise put down the glass of milkshake and did not dare to speak.
She recalled Damien’s uncle, Raymond, had always seemed cold and strict. He seemed so intimidating that she dared not dare talk to him unless required.
She had always felt something sinister and scary about Raymond’s demeanor.
He seemed so different from Old Mr. Lenoir even though they were family. Although Old Mr. Lenoir was intimidating, he felt much kinder than Raymond.
“Uncle Raymond.”
Damian smiled and continued, “I don’t understand what you said.”
“Tristan caused a stir in my house. Yet, he said he did nothing wrong and had no need to
apologize.”
Damien spoke evenly, but his every word carried weight.
Raymond’s expression darkened,
Next, he dragged Tristan and kicked his legs viciously.
‘Bam!’ Tristan immediately lost balance and kneeled on the floor.
Tristan’s expression twisted from the immense pain. He turned to Randal. “Dad, what are you doing?”
“You dare ask me? Apologize to Cherise now! She’s your cousin-in-law!”
Tristan frowned. Even an id ot could see that Raymond was suppressing his anger.
Dad is furious.
Tristan had no choice but to take a deep breath and reluctantly glanced at the woman. beside Damien. Cherise had curled into a ball and was trying to hide.
I’m sorry, Cherise.”
Tristan said in his deep voice.
He had been arrogant since he was a kid. Apart from his parents, he had never apologized to anyone, especially a country bumpkin like Cherise.
It was an insult to his dignity.
However, he and his father needed something from Damien. He had no choice but to voice a halfhearted apology.
Damien remained dissatisfied even after he apologized.
He poured a glass of water for Cherise and said, “Tristan, perhaps you need more time to apologize sincerely. We’re not in a rush. You can drink water first.”
Hearing Damien, Raymond had to grit his teeth and kick Tristan. “Apologize properly!”
Tristan frowned and looked at Cherise. He humbled his tone, “Cherise, I’m sorry.”
Cherise pursed her lips and did not dare to speak.
She knew the matter was not simply about Tristan apologizing to her. There was some
kind of power play between Damien and Raymond.
Therefore, she did not dare to speak. At the same time, she felt Tristan deserved the beating.
They should kick him a few more times!
It seemed as if Raymond had read Cherise’s thoughts. For the next half an hour, Raymond kicked Tristan relentlessly. “Apologize properly!”
“Don’t you dare disrespect Cherise again!”
“Do you hear me?”
