Chapter 532 He’s My Father-in-Law
“Secondly, I have important matters to attend to, I don’t have time to engage in idle chatter with
you.”
Damien responded with a faint smile. He shifted into a more comfortable position in the pa*senger seat. “Firstly, I never signed the divorce papers back then, so technically, we’re not divorced.
“If you have indeed married another man, I advise you to finalize our divorce promptly. Otherwise, you’ll be charged with the crime of bigamy.”
“However, legally, if you haven’t married anyone else, we’re still husband and wife,”
“There’s nothing wrong with a husband taking a ride in his wife’s car.
“Moreover, it’s normal for a husband to accompany his wife when she has important matters to attend to.”
Cherise drew in a sharp breath.
Is this man planning to be unreasonable to the very end?
Just as she was about to demand Damien to leave, her phone rang.
It was a call from Beckham.
“Cherise, why haven’t you replied to my message? I was worried something might have happened to you.”
“What could happen to me?”
Cherise shot Damien Lenoir a warning glance, signaling him to remain silent: “Don’t worry, Fll be
home soon.
“Please prepare some delicious food for tonight.”
“Sure, sure!”
Beckham’s laughter echoed warmly over the phone. “You should bring the two little ones with you. I haven’t seen them in a while.”
When Beckham mentioned ‘the two little ones, Cherise Shaw instinctively glanced at Damien
Lenoir.
Thankfully, he did not seem to have overheard the conversation.
She breathed a sigh of relief. “They might not be able to make it. I’ll bring them next time.”
1/3
Beckham’s mood seemed to deflate slightly over the phone. “Why?”
He had not seen his grandchildren for half a month.
“No special reason. Cherise smiled. “I completed a thirteen-hour surgery last night and slept all day. Anyway, I just woke up and am too tired to pick them up. I’ll head straight to your place.”
There was a long silence on the other end. “Sure.”
“See you soon.”
With that, Cherise ended the call.
Damien rested his hands behind his head, leisurely leaning on the pa*senger seat. “And here I thought it was something urgent. Turns out you have dinner plans with my father-in-law?”
Cherise was annoyed.
“Who the hell is your father-in-law?”
“Your dad.” Damien continued shamelessly, “You’re my wife. Since he’s my wife’s father, that makes him my father-in-law.”
“Mrs. Lenoir, you wouldn’t be confused over such a simple matter, right?”
Cherise was rendered speechless.
“Mr. Lenoir, your skin is thick enough to be bulletproof.
Then, Cherise took a deep breath before turning to Damien. “You don’t plan on getting out of my car, do you?”
Damien clasped his hands and nodded faintly, “Yes.”
Cherise glanced at the time.
Suit yourself
Knowing how stubborn Damien was, he would not leave the car even if she argued with him for
another half an hour.
Moreover, they were near the hospital entrance. She could not afford to cause a scene and become the subject of her colleagues’ gossip.
She was only having dinner with her father, and he knew Damien.
If Damien insisted on tagging along, so be it.
She wanted to see who would end up more embarra*sed.
2/3
With that thought, she let out a long sigh and started the car.
The moment the car started, Damien’s eyes flickered with a sly glint.
Beckham’s residence was close to the hospital where Cherise worked.
The car stopped in front of Beckham’s house in less than half an hour.
