Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1303 Overwhelmed



Seeing Arton so proud, I smiled and said, "I'll have to find time to visit him soon. It's been almost two months, and he'll probably forget about me if I don't go." I chuckled.

"He won't," Arton said confidently, then with a smile, he added, "My sister always teaches him to call you 'Aunt Chloe'.

"I'm actually quite eager to see him," I said sincerely. Despite Charlie being Melanie's child, I genuinely liked him.

After a few more brief instructions, I hung up and returned to my father's room. Upon seeing the three old men chatting lively, I noticed that my biological father looked the oldest despite being the youngest in terms of age.

His escape was truly remarkable, and it wouldn't have been possible without Atlas's careful planning. I silently rejoiced in having someone like Atlas by my side.

They were discussing matters related to Bermuda, so it was no wonder they had a common language, considering their intricate connections to that place.

So, they hit it off immediately.

My father, Rory, seemed to be in good spirits, showing no signs of fatigue. These past few days, he had been excited, which was much better than I had expected.

I had been worried that everyone who knew the news would come to visit him. Then, he would be overwhelmed and not get enough rest. But now, seeing him in unexpectedly good condition, I realized that he was actually quite talkative.

In his prime, he must have been an outstanding man.

Moreover, Anson was talkative and sociable, never lacking in topics.

A maid hurried over and whispered, "Mrs. Chloe, Mr. Ryan has arrived."

I was surprised at how quickly he had come, so I quickly informed the three of them and then went to the main building.

Pleca Park was indeed bustling today, as it seemed like we were packed with guests. Sure enough, my mother was chatting with Ryan, who had brought along a lot of nutritional supplements.

"Ryan, you're here!" I walked over quickly. I hadn't seen him much in the past two months.

My mom didn't disturb us and just told Ryan to stay for dinner before going to the kitchen.

"Are your parents doing well?" Ryan smiled warmly when he saw me.

"They're both doing very well. You've been working hard these past few months," said politely before taking a seat across from him. "W talk to you about something. I'm afraid I might have to go to Solaris tonight." to

"Since when did you become so unpredictable?" He was a bit surprised. "Are you leaving tonight? Is there something important going on there?" "Atlas needs to talk to Archie about something. I promised to take Ava to see him when the season changes. So, I want to go with Atlas. Otherwise, I'll break my promise."

I explained it to Ryan earnestly. To be honest, I hadn't been acting like myself lately. There were too many things going on, and I hadn't been able to focus on work.

I had left the entire company to Ryan, which wasn't easy for him. After all, Tanum's development had been too rapid, and there were too many projects to handle. He had been handling internal and external matters alone, without a word of complaint. to

I had initially planned to delegate the external relations matters to Lauren, but with Oliver's injury recently, she had been truly overwhelmed. Thankfully, Grayson was holding down the fort in Solaris.

Otherwise, Ryan would have been stretched thin, and I wouldn't have had such a carefree time. Sometimes, I felt a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, then go ahead. When the

weather gets even colder, taking Ava with you will be difficult. She's used to the weather here, so the sudden change in weather might make her catch a cold," Ryan said thoughtfully. "Why haven't I seen the little girl?" to

"She might be playing with Jenny right now." I looked around, but didn't see Ava anywhere.

"What did you want to talk about?" Ryan asked.

"I just got a call from Atticus. He has taken over the second phase of the project at Rivendell and wants us to handle it internally. I'm quite interested. What do you think?"

I then added, "We did the overall design of the previous phase, and the project's scale is considerable. So, my idea is to take it on."

I stated my reasons directly and looked at him to hear his opinion.
