Divorce Time 304

Chapter 304

Dalton told York about what happened today.

York responded, "You know, my dad and grandpa have always thought highly of Charlene and her grandmother. Maybe that's what this is all about."

Dalton pondered Hickey's interest in Charlene, finding it peculiar how attentive he seemed to be.

Even if Hickey had a favorable impression of Charlene, wasn't it a bit of a stretch to develop such an opinion after just one meeting? But since York had mentioned it, Dalton chose not to delve any deeper. The weather forecast had warned of rain this afternoon, perhaps even snow.

Sure enough, Charlene noticed the rain starting to fall before they had finished their meal.

After that, Hickey and the other officials joined Charlene and the business representatives for a detailed discussion about last year's business performance and the plans for the upcoming year.

With words of gratitude for the contributions to Starfall City's economic growth, Hickey and the officials wrapped up the meeting.

As the meeting concluded, Thorne and Charlene shook hands with Hickey and the other officials before preparing to leave.

While shaking hands, Hickey advised Charlene, "It's really cold today. I heard there's a thin layer of ice outside. Drive carefully." Charlene nodded, "I will, thank you, Mr. Watson."
