Chapter 534 He Is Utterly Shameless
Cherise nodded solemnly. “I underestimated the intricacy of certain surgeries.”
Beckham sighed, choosing not to speak further.
After dinner, Cherise went to the kitchen with the housekeeper to wash the dishes as usual.
Damien boldly sat beside Beckham. “Mr. Beckham, how have you been all these past years?”
“I’ve lost my beloved. How do you suppose I’ve been?”
Damien furrowed his brows, choosing to remain silent.
“Why do you suddenly attempt to get close to me?”
Beckham lit a cigarette and reclined on the couch. He peered at Damien through the swirling smoke. “Are you trying to win Cherise back?”
Damien pursed his lips and nodded earnestly. “I want to.”
“That’s impossible.”
Beckham dismissed the notion with a wave of his hand. “When Ari passed away, she entrusted the Miles family’s businesses to Cherise. Whoever married Cherise would become the next head of the family,”
“And as it happens, Zachary is the lucky new head of the Miles family.”
“Cherise has been married to him for quite some time.”
“You’ve arrived too late to win her back.”
Damien furrowed his brows, looking at Beckham intently. “Did she marry Zachary?
“Yes.”
“But whenever you or Cherise mention Zachary, it’s like you’re speaking of a close relative or a friend.”
“Neither Cherise’s demeanor nor your attitude indicates they are a couple.

“Perhaps you’re overthinking, Mr. Lenoir.”

gestured to a servant to set up the chessboard. Then, he turned to Damien and asked, “Do you play chess, Mr. Lenoir?”
Damien furrowed his brows slightly and nodded, “I do.”
“Then join me for a game.”
Beckham became more talkative as they played. The two chatted amiably and seemed to have an enjoyable time.
After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Cherise checked her phone.
Someone had sent her a photo of her children sitting quietly on the office couch, munching on snacks.
She shook her head in mild exasperation.
Sometimes, Zachary, the children’s non-blood-related uncle, seemed more like their mother than she did.
“I’ll pick them up later.”

“Don’t worry about it.”
Zachary replied to her message promptly. “I heard from Lucy that Damien went to see you.”
“Yes.”
Cherise leaned against the intricately carved railing of the spiral staircase and observed the man engrossed in a chess game with her father in the living room. “I haven’t seen him for five He has become utterly shameless.”
