Beyond The Divorce - Season 9 Episode 38

Waiting for News

I waited until it was late, but Adrian didn’t call me back. Exhausted, I lay down on the sofa and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

One arm was tightly wrapped around me. I had no idea when Atlas had come back, but he must have carried me to bed.

I didn’t dare move when I saw him sleeping so peacefully. I just snuggled into his arms, thinking about Melanie.

I wondered if she had gone to look for her son. It looked like I couldn’t wait for Matthew to make up his mind. I had to take the child back to the Reese family.

I was worried about Charlie’s safety. After all, Johnson wasn’t his legal guardian. If Melanie tried to take the child, Myra wouldn’t be able to stop her. If that happened, Melanie might become extremely ruthless.

I had to take him home sooner or later. Sending him back earlier would save Johnson and his wife from trouble.

After all, if the child went back to the Reese family, Melanie wouldn’t dare provoke them. She wouldn’t dare mess with Arton, especially considering how Arton probably knew a lot about her.

If she took the child away, she might ruin him.

Atlas was right. We were all feeling the chain reactions from this incident. But what worried me most was whether Matthew’s case could go to trial as scheduled.

It wasn’t until a phone call woke Atlas up that I left his embrace. He squinted, answered the phone, then hugged me again, giving me a kiss. “You’re awake?”

“Yeah. What time did you get back last night?” I asked, looking at his weary face.

“Around 2 or 3 in the morning. You want to sleep a little more?” He softly asked me while kissing me.

“I’m not sleeping anymore. There’s a lot on my mind. I want to take Charlie back to the Reese family to help Johnson and his wife avoid trouble. Melanie’s on the loose, and she’s a danger to the child. If she takes him away, he’ll suffer.”

I turned to look at Atlas and asked, “Any news on Melanie?”

“It’s the cops’ job to catch her. She won’t be able to run for long. But this is a big deal.” Atlas got up and helped me up. We got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.

I didn’t expect to see Arnold at the table too.

He said he was planning to return to Monora today.

“You’re going back already?” I looked at him in surprise. “I thought you could stay here a while longer.”

“What is it? You can’t bear to see me go? I’ll stay a little longer then,” Arnold said mischievously.

Atlas immediately turned cold, “Stop kidding yourself. Hurry up and go back, don’t hang around here.”

Arnold smiled playfully. “This is my sister’s place. It’s normal for her to spoil me like this.”

Then he turned to me. “I’ll go back to handle business over there. I’ll be back here soon, and this time, I won’t leave.”

“Really?” I instantly felt happier.

Atlas frowned, glanced at me, and said, “What’s so good about him coming back?”

“Of course, it’ll be good. It’s lively here with him. Don’t you think he should have come back long ago? Grandma Rose is getting old, and he should take over the business. Otherwise, he’ll never grow up.”

Atlas was immediately amused. “You know he’s just a lazy guy, right?”

Then he looked at Arnold and said, “Did you hear that? Why are you so lazy?”

“Pfft. As if you’re the only one who can handle business,” Arnold retorted disdainfully.

When Ava and Jenny came downstairs, he was instantly surrounded. They fussed at him to take them to kindergarten.

I quickly finished my meal and went to work with Atlas. I had to let him drive me to the company since my car hadn’t been brought back yesterday.

As soon as I got out of the car in front of the company building, Michelle rushed over and called to me, “Chloe!”
