Chapter 479 Who’s That?
“I had the impression…” Cherise bit her lip. She had believed that she came today to meet her mother,
just like she did with Beckham Tanner.
However, Charis was about to leave before Cherise could address her as her mother.
“What did you think?” Charis raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
“I thought you would want me to call you… Mom,” Cherise said shyly.
Charis scoffed and fixed her onyx eyes on Cherise. “Can you?”
The young girl couldn’t say anything.
“All things take time to process. A simple girl like you, who has led a traditional lifestyle, will take even Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
longer. It would be meaningless if you called me mother without truly meaning it.”
Charis walked over to Cherise and tousled her hair. “We have established that mother. We are
connected to each other. I am certain I can wait a little longer. Do you
you are my think I am shallow like your father? Don’t overthink. I can wait until you genuinely want to
call me mother,” Charis said with a smile and turned to leave.
Cherise stood motionless in her wedding dress as she watched Charis turn and depart with her
entourage. She slowly unclenched her tightly clenched fists. Charis was an enigmatic woman, and
Cherise finally witnessed for herself what her grandfather meant when he said Charis was much more
intelligent than her father. That didn’t mean that Beckham wasn’t intelligent. It was just that their
approaches to things were drastically different.
Charis was as aloof as the rumors suggested. She handled everything with precision. Compared to
Beckham, who wore his heart on his sleeve, Charis was more rational and composed. She was more
open to others’ opinions and didn’t desire too much.
Cherise took a deep breath and made her way down to the second floor with the assistance of a staff
member, her dress trailing behind her.
Lucy and Mandy were arguing on a couch on the second floor. They immediately stopped when they
saw Cherise descend..
“Wow…”
“How is this possible?” Lucy’s eyes widened.
Mandy could tell that this dress was clearly a combination of the previous two. “Well

dene,” she couldn’t help but compliment. They had just been arguing about Cherise’s previous choice
when she went to change.
“Was that your mom just now?” Lucy asked quietly.
That woman had been surrounded by a group of people when they came down. She could barely see
the person’s collar.
“Yes,” Cherise nodded, “but she didn’t want me to call her mother. She said… There’s plenty of time in
the future.”
Mandy furrowed her brow in deep thought.
Cherise was lost in contemplation on the way back to Lenoir Manor after leaving the bridal shop.
Finally, she sent a photo of herself in a dress to Sarah.
“Aunt Sarah, I will be getting married soon. Will you come?”
She knew that Sarah was no longer a part of her family. Even if her uncle returned, she might not
come… But Cherise truly wished for her to be at the wedding. After all, Sarah had played the role of a
mother in the last nineteen years of her life. Even though Sarah always made sure Cherise called her
‘Aunt.’
Not long after, Cherise received a reply.
‘I’m busy.”
