Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1351

I glanced at him, unsure how to begin.

It was Arnold who broke the silence. "Go ahead and speak."

"Do you really want to take over completely?" I scrutinized him.

He chuckled. "Seems like I'm still seen as a good-for-nothing in your eyes, and I’m just a freeloader. Am I that bad?"

"Not at all. It's just a bit sudden." I tried to hide my skepticism.

"It's time for me to take over. Grandma is getting old, and I've been quite unfilial. I've been reckless and irresponsible, but I have to step up. After all, the family can't find another successor. It's a responsibility I can't ignore."

He spoke with solemnity as if burdened with a mission.

I didn't expect Arnold to be quite manly when he was serious, which made me look at him in a new light. It seemed like he always had the Beringer family's responsibilities on his mind.

Seeing me staring at him, he tapped my head. "What are you looking at? You’re that surprised?"

I nodded with a smile. "Yeah. It's indeed surprising. I didn't expect you to be quite manly."

"What are you talking about? Of course I am!" He showed a mischievous grin and leaned in, asking, "Which one of me do you like?"

He always teased me like this. Since the day I met him, he refused to treat me like a sister, but now, in front of others, he was quite polite.

But when we were alone, he felt like my brother who was extremely protective of me.

I was taken aback by his question but still understood what he meant. I gave him a sidelong glance. "What do you mean, which one? You mean there’s two of you?"

He smirked playfully, then became serious again. "My decision has another factor."

I looked at him puzzled. "What is it?"

It took me a moment to remember that today was Sunday, and she was at home.

I lazed around for a while before using the remote control to open the curtains. I found Ava and Jenny running around like two butterflies on the lawn. Both my dads were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.

They seemed to be having a great time.

I smiled. This scene was truly beautiful.

Perhaps my father and Louis were in such a state back then.

As I was engrossed in watching, suddenly, a buzzing vibration came from my phone. I quickly searched for it and picked it up to take a look. Instantly, my spirits lifted, as the screen displayed a name I hadn’t seen for a long time.

I instinctively gripped the phone tightly.
