Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 889 Against One's Will

To be honest, I would have contacted Archie on my own even if Atlas hadn't told me that.

I could tell he was thrilled while we were on the phone. He insisted that Ardie would come pick me up and we should have dinner together.

After hanging up, Grayson said, "I knew it would be like this, so I didn't bother making any dinner plans for you. Ryan and I have a meeting, so we won't be taking you out.

"Suit yourselves," I playfully retorted. "I'm at the mercy of everyone else. People with families are different."

Ryan immediately snorted and said, "Easy on the boasting, and be mindful of your influence on everyone else. We're working hard for you, but you're enjoying your life out there."

I quickly retorted, "Hold on, I'm not stopping you from having your own life or family time. I'm just setting an example, you know? Good work comes from a good family. Balancing work and family is the key to success. And you, it's time to think about marrying Joyce. Both your parents have met each other, so what are you waiting for?"

Grayson chuckled and looked at Ryan. "Seize this opportunity. Don't make Chloe worry about you."

"You too. Don't act like nothing's going on." I directed this at Grayson.

We rarely had time to chat like this. Soon, Ardie's call came in, and I said to Grayson, "Come downstairs with me and bring the fruit."
