Beyond The Divorce - Season 2 Episode 89

When Atlas dropped me off at the company’s entrance, he gave me some reminders,

which I noted down.

I couldn’t help but say, “Call me when you have time.”

He nibbled on my lip and said, “You’re improving by asking for things now.”

I blushed and turned to get out of the car, but he pulled me back and kissed me

passionately before letting me go. Nonetheless, I looked forward to working with Grayson

today. When I entered my office, I

called Carol and asked, “Has Grayson arrived?”

Carol’s eyes sparkled. “Yes, he has! Ms. Chloe, let’s use this standard when hiring new

employees. He’s

such eye candy!”

I snorted in response. “Are you infatuated with Grayson too?”

She stuck her tongue out and chuckled. Good looks seemed to have a certain charm, and

everyone liked

attractive objects. Since Carol and I had become close, she rolled her eyes at me and muttered, “You like

the handsome ones, too. It’s a chain reaction.”

I sighed but didn’t deny it. “You’re right. All right, bring Grayson in so I can grill him first.”

Carol left my office with a grin, and Grayson soon walked in. Although strikingly

handsome, his type of

handsomeness differed from Atlas’s. Grayson wasn’t cunning, authoritative, or had old–

him.

Instead, he resembled a ray of sunshine that could brighten the gloomiest days.

I was thrilled after our conversation. Grayson was an invaluable tech expert, like Ivanna’s

two assistants. I

was ecstatic, even if he couldn’t handle the business side of things.

Ryan was also quite pleased when I handed Grayson over to him.

When I returned home that evening, my mother told me they had received a call from our

hometown.

They said the heaters were about to be turned on, requiring someone to be home. My

It had been two months since my divorce, and they had to return home to check on things.

My parents were concerned about me, but my mom didn’t want my dad to go home alone.

Since they were in a dilemma, I said, “Why don’t you two head back together? If you want

to move here, just rent that house to someone and come here once you’ve settled

everything back home.”

However, my mom couldn’t bear to leave her house behind. My words were in vain, but I

freezing during winter.

Besides, I had grown accustomed to living with my parents over the past two months.

With such a large house here, it felt somewhat empty with just Ava and me. Meanwhile,

my dad worried that the scoundrel might harass me again.

“That won’t happen, so don’t worry,” I reassured them, “Besides, I have a few friends who can help if anything happens.”

During this time, things had been relatively calm because of Maddox. Also, Matthew didn’t

cause any

more trouble for me.

My parents contemplated returning to our hometown for a few days. However, they could

only return because of the heating system. Initially, they wanted to take Ava with them,

but I feared she wouldn’t adapt well to the colder climate.

I felt a sense of emptiness as I saw my parents off. They had treated me like a princess

when they were here. My mom cared for everything, and I didn’t have to worry about

picking up or dropping off Ava

Things would be different without my parents, and I had to return to my old routine.

Soon after, Ivanna reminded me to transfer Ava to Sunnydale Kindergarten. Since it was

closer to our home, it would be more convenient for me to pick Ava up and drop her off.

Plus, Ivanna could help if

there were any emergencies.

I should have done it a long time ago, but I had been preoccupied and kept postponing it

until now. As fate would have it, the story had an unexpected twist again.
