Beyond the Divorce

I suddenly understood one thing. It seemed like the wisest person was Grace. She had learned to be savvy after being deceived throughout her life.

"How can we let Charlie end up in his hands?" I shook my head, feeling somewhat distressed. "We'll be ruining that child's life!"

I couldn't help but think of Charlie's innocent face.

"Don't worry. Listen to me," Atlas said.

He got up, poured a glass of water for me, and had a sip himself before continuing. "The man's parents are alive and well. The family is in decent shape, and he has a sister who's seven years older. There was a middle brother between them, but unfortunately, he died at the age of three."

I listened attentively to Atlas.

"Later, that man was born. So, being the only son in the family for three generations, his parents spoiled him. Over time, he developed a fearlessness because his parents would stand up for him whenever something happened.

"Stirring up trouble became a common occurrence. He dropped out of school early, hanging out with a group of delinquents and neglecting his studies. His parents regretted their indulgence."

It seemed this person was indeed a typical troublemaker. It wasn't a surprise that Melanie would be suitable for someone like him.

"His sister was already married to a decent man who loved her deeply. Unfortunately, when he got into a fight with someone, his sister's husband found out and rushed to save him. He got stabbed on the spot while trying to protect him."

I was stunned. "He dragged down his sister's entire life."

"Not only did his sister lose her beloved, but she also suffered physical abuse from her in-laws because of this incident. This fact deeply affected him, and ever since, he has protected his sister as if she were a treasure."

"But that can't replace his sister's true happiness!"

"This guy is quite respectful to his parents. Moreover, he gives all the money he earns to his sister. He even sold their big house and lives with his parents. His sister never had children after getting married, and this guy even promised that if he had children in the future, he would let his sister raise them as her own."

My eyes lit up. I eagerly asked, "Did you look into his sister? How is she now?"

Seeing my anxious appearance, Atlas chuckled and pinched my nose. "Keep listening. His sister is hardworking and kind, but this sudden change turned her life from heaven into hell." Atlas told the story vividly and engagingly. I listened with lingering fear.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Afterward, this younger brother

spared no expense to cure his sister's illness. Now, she's an average person. Initially, she had a decent job as an accountant for a company, but she stopped working after the incident.

"After she recovered, her younger brother didn't let her go out to work. It wasn't until three years ago that she found a cashier job."

I couldn't wait and asked, "Where?"

With his charming smile, Atlas said, "On the fourth floor of Arkadia Plaza."

"Arkadia Plaza?" I exclaimed in disbelief. "Is it that easy? That's great! I must see this woman. Quickly, tell me her name!"

"Annika Reese."

"What about her brother?" I asked eagerly.

"Arton Reese, everyone calls him Big A. The most important point is that he still doesn't know he has a child Atlas said thoughtfully. "It seems that Melanie was afraid he'd take Charlie away and expose herto the Murphys."

"He doesn't know yet? How can you be sure the child is his?" I felt frustrated after talking for so long without confirmation.

Atlas smirked. Then he reached for his phone, opened the photo album, and handed me his phone. I took a look, and at that moment, I was speechless.
