Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1132

Chapter 1132 Secret Offerings
After saying that, he swiftly grabbed the small box and headed towards the entrance, slipping on his shoes and shrugging into his coat. "Mr. Devon, let's get moving!"

"Alright," Mr. Devon agreed, falling into step behind him.

Mr. Devon, arranged by Colin, was designated to drive Lucy and Alexis.

Despite Lucy's driving skills, they were in Yatesville. Mr. Devon, Colin's trusted driver, knew the area well and felt secure for years.

Once they departed from the house, Alexis elegantly slipped into the car and settled in the back seat, closing his eyes for rest.

After a stretch of driving, the car came to a stop.

The door swung open, and Mr. Devon's deep voice sounded beside him. "Mr. Alexis, someone is waiting to speak with you."

Someone wants to speak with me?

Intrigued, Alexis furrowed his brow and glanced out of the car.

A stern-faced man's reflection glared back from the window of the roadside cafe.

This person...

Alexis squinted. "I have no interest in meeting him."

Even though Alexis wasn't there in person on Lucy's wedding day, he followed the events via the live internet broadcast.

If his memory served him right, this man was his biological father.

He appeared respectable, but there was something about him that Alexis found distinctly unlikable.

Mr. Devon hesitated briefly. "But, Mr. Alexis..."

"Very well..." Alexis sighed, considering his options. "I understand your dilemma."

"Here's the plan!" he exclaimed, his mind quickly formulating a solution.

With a sly smile, he passed the most miniature cupcakes from the box to Mr. Devon. "Take this to him and let him know that while I'm aware of his desire to see me, I'm not particularly interested in his company."

"Consider this cupcake a peace offering," he added, "so he'll think twice about bothering me again."

Mr. Devon hesitated momentarily but nodded in understanding and carried out Alexis' directive, delivering the cupcake as instructed.
