Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1104

Chapter 1104 Raise A Toast
"I haven't had the chance to travel much, so I'm still quite uninformed. I'm not very acquainted with many of the seafood dishes here," Cherise admitted.

"Well, lucky for you, I am! Let me give you the rundown," Colin chimed in eagerly, using his utensils to point out each dish to Cherise. "This one's the brown crab. Look at it. Isn't it darker than a usual crab? And this one..."

Colin delved into detailed explanations of each dish while Cherise listened attentively, nodding and responding to each. The atmosphere at the table instantly took on the semblance of a kindergarten teacher leading children on a museum tour.

"Dr. Shaw has quite the charm," Jude remarked with a slight smile. "Much like Phoenix in the past—always genuine and blunt. She's true to herself and puts on no pretense or airs of nobility." After that, Jude shot an icy, meaningful glance at Anthony. "What do you think, Dad?"

Anthony's disdainful scrutiny of Cherise was interrupted by Jude's words, snapping him back to the present. "What was that?" he asked, a touch of confusion in his tone.

"I was just saying," Jude replied with a faint smile, "Mrs. Lenoir is so delightful. Doesn't she resemble Phoenix back then?"

At the mention of Phoenix, Anthony's expression instantly hardened. "Don't speak of that uncultivated woman!" With those words, a heavy silence descended upon the table.
