Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 992

"Does Wesley still have value?" Grayson asked.

"Perhaps Wesley could be useful in a critical situation! It seems that Adelaide Mcclain must have come with a mission!"

I was led to this conclusion after she eavesdropped.

Grayson warned, "Keep an eye on that outsider."

"I'll ask Carol to watch her more closely. Let's keep her for now. She might be useful." I also said, "Since she went through all this trouble to come, we can't let her go away empty-handed."

After hanging up the phone, I wondered if she dared to arrange a spy around me.

It seemed that Liora was still afraid of me! Unfortunately, she might not be able to enjoy her freedom for much longer.

Afraid Ava would overeat, I briefly rested and played with the kids in the yard while thinking about today's events.

It was very late when Atlas returned, and Ava had already slept.

I had just finished showering and was about to see what my mom was doing when he walked into the room with a faint scent of alcohol on him.

He came over, hugged me, and dropped two kisses on my face when he noticed I had just completed a bath and had damp hair.

I quickly pushed him away, expressing my disgust. "You smell of alcohol, it's disgusting!"

Atlas smiled charmingly, approached again, and mischievously said, "Really? Is it not a man's aroma?"

I bluntly said, "This is not the scent of a man."

He looked particularly pleased and intentionally exhaled heavily in my direction.

I wrinkled my nose and replied, "It's so smelly!"

He said with a cheeky bite, "Then I'll shower. Wait for me!"

"I'll go check on Mom and then be back. She said she wanted to discuss something with me," I said.

"Alright, you go! I'll wait for you!" After saying that, he started undressing and walked into the bathroom.

Thinking of continuing, I said, "If things are good by the end of the year, I want to reward Ryan and his family with a house."

My mom looked at me with surprise, "That's a big move! But how much would that cost?"

“We cannot ignore that Ryan has worked hard this year. Besides, you will have company, and Ryan won't have any worries!"

I continued, "If everything goes well, I want to reward Eleanor with a house at the end of the year, too. If she manages my market well, I'll be worry-free."

I had to move rather quickly, of course, to retain such wonderful people

"We have our projects, so keeping a few houses is a prerequisite," I told my mom.

"I'm not that petty. That sounds excellent! It's the most genuine method for retaining them." My mom looked at me and said, "I understand."

"So, let's sell the houses in Bibury!" I said, "When you are back there, check the situation. If Dad's books are needed, pack them and ship them back. Keep the house price reasonable so we don't have to wait long for a buyer! Sell it as long as someone is interested!"

I knew that Bibury was not my parents' hometown.
