Chapter 365 Locked Out Of The Room
Fortunately, we got married before this was revealed. Otherwise, I would have a difficult time understanding how they treat their children as priceless treasures.
“Darling.” Cherise said timidly.
“Yes?” Damien turned around, frowning.
She burped and continued, “I ate too much again.”
“Are you suggesting that we… exercise at night?” He smirked mischievously, leaving her speechless.
However, that night, he found himself locked out of the room due to her vehement
protests.
On the couch, he suddenly found himself face to face with Hampson.
“Sir, it’s getting late. It’s time to go to bed soon.”
“Why aren’t you in your room?” Damien inquired.
“Blake locked me out, so I’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight.”
“Well, Cherise kicked me out too, so it seems I’ll be joining you on the couch tonight.”
Hampson was speechless upon hearing that. Do we really have to fight for the couch nowadays?
After a moment of staring at each other, Damien sighed. “You can have it. I’m going for a walk.”
Hampson glanced at his watch; it was already ten p.m.
“Where are you going, sir?”
“To the Tanner Residence. Maybe I can get a spare key or a ladder to get back into the
room.”
After a brief silence, Hampson replied, “Good luck, sir!”
Indeed, Damien went to the Tanners after leaving the house. Instead of following his carlier plan, he immediately went to meet Aaron.
From the balcony on the third floor, one could have a clear view of the garden.
Damien and Aaron stood there, observing Beckham bidding farewell to the guests.
“Because of me, Beckham can only remain within this garden,” Aaron sighed. “When he was young, he had dreams of being a singer, traveling the world with his guitar. But he’s part of the Tanner family, and he’s my son. He’s not in a position to have dreams of his
own.”
With another sigh, Aaron asked, “What is Cherise’s dream?”
Damien hesitated briefly before replying. “To become the best cardiology surgeon.”
Aaron smiled. “At least it’s much better than her father’s.”
Damien frowned. “Mr. Tanner, there’s something I don’t understand. Since you have already confirmed that Cherise is indeed your granddaughter, why did you keep it from Beckham and even announce that they would be rewarded for finding her?”
Damien had a fair guess himself, but he wanted to hear it from Aaron.
“Because it’s not safe for Cherise. Beckham is not my…” Aaron looked at the silhouette of his son, who was still bidding farewell to the guests one by one. “He’s an open book. Everything is written on his face. If Cherise knew the truth but refused to come back to us, what would happen to her? Although we have considerable influence in Europe, we also have numerous enemies. If they discovered her true identity, your peaceful days with her would come to an end.”
