Beyond The Divorce - Season 8 Episode 12

I rescued this child. If it weren’t for me catching him that day, such a fragile little thing might not have survived.

It seems my intervention was worth it, even though it almost cost me an arm. We had a joyful and fulfilling day, and even Rose played with the kids wholeheartedly.

By the time Atlas returned, it was already dinner time. Charlie, looking at Atlas, seemed enchanted. His eyes didn’t blink, and suddenly, he grinned.

Atlas was kind. As he reached out to Charlie, I thought he might be shy or unwilling to be held. Surprisingly, the child extended his tiny hand to him.

When Atlas took him, Charlie stared at Atlas up close for quite a while, and from his mouth came, “Mommy.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Looking at Atlas’s dignified face, all smiles, I thought he would make a great dad.

Because he was so gentle with an unrelated child, I wondered how he would be with our own child. The thought made my face blush.

Rose saw my expression and laughed heartily. “Chlo, while you’re still young, quickly have two more. That way, Ava won’t be lonely. You need a few more kids with such a big yard and family business.”

Atlas looked at me. “Don’t pressure Chlo. She just relaxed not long ago. We’ll consider it when Ava is a bit older.”

“I’m big now. I can have little brothers and sisters,” Ava, understanding everything, quickly chimed in.

Just as I was about to stop her, thinking she was just a kid, Jenny immediately said, “I can too.”

My face turned even redder, feeling awkward.

After dinner, all of us decided to accompany Myra home. Since Atlas was driving, we all got into the car, and even Charlie was already asleep.

Myra, holding him, said to me, “Chlo, to be honest, I’m a bit reluctant.”

I smiled. “Then keep him a bit longer. We’ll decide after handling Matthew’s affairs!”

After dropping off Myra, we made a trip to the hospital. Ava mentioned that she hadn’t seen Lauren in a long time.

When we returned to Pleca Park, it was already late at night.

We finally received the signing notice for Phase Two of Avalon Hills on Monday. The entire company was elated, signaling that despite Liora’s jumping around, she still lost.

Once the news of the signing ceremony was announced in major media outlets, the dust settled, and Ryan finally got rid of his worry.

At the company’s celebration banquet, he said, “Chloe, I strongly request some time off. I need a good night’s sleep.”

I knew he had been working hard recently. He could be considered the backbone of the company. Every time there was something on my end, he was my support. Ryan essentially ran this company.

Upon hearing his words, everyone said, “Give Mr. Ryan an early vacation.”

I didn’t dare to neglect it. Assertively, I said, “Mr. Ryan, you get a week off.”

Ryan glanced at me and said, “At home or abroad, capitalists are never generous. They say they are, but when they open their mouth, they’ll say a week.”

I looked at him in a daze, not understanding what he meant. “Is… that too much or too little?”

Eleanor lightly nudged me and said, “You’re something else, not caring about your subordinates. You should be more generous and allow Mr. Ryan to achieve something with Ms. Joyce.”

I slapped my forehead and said, “Oh my God, I made a mistake. Two weeks! Mr. Ryan, you get two weeks off. Carol, book Mr. Ryan and Ms. Joyce’s plane tickets. Visit the suburbs. Let Joyce enjoy Northum. You haven’t been back for a year. It’s time to go.”

As soon as I said this, Carol responded, “Alright! I’ll book it right away!”

“Wait…”
