Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 851 Finally Meeting Charlie

Johnson hurriedly ushered everyone into the house, exchanging pleasantries as Annika expressed her gratitude profusely. However, Arton was utterly dumbfounded, a bit unsure of what to do. Perhaps even now, he couldn't believe that he had a son. As for me, I was filled with emotions. I never imagined that I would be so invested in Melanie's child one day.

I brought Charlie over to Donovan again. This time, the little one hesitated before extending a tiny hand toward the old man.

Donovan couldn't help but break into a wide smile as he took Charlie's hand. Charlie's adorable gesture melted everyone's hearts. Georgina and Annika quickly surrounded them happily.

Even the usually stern Arton had a softened expression. He was captivated by this kid that shared the same features as him, and a trace of tenderness and warmth flickered in his eyes. Georgina was overjoyed. "Oh my, how did this little one suddenly appear? Oh, Arton, you are fortunate. After all these years, you've finally done something right. Thank you, Ms. Chloe! We owe you big time for this."

It seemed that Georgina was overjoyed. She was quite different from when I was at their place earlier.

I grabbed her arm and said, "Mrs. Georgina, the ones you should thank are these two."

Donovan quickly turned to Arton and said, "Arton. Hurry up and thank them. Look, they've taken such good care of the baby."

Arton finally tore his gaze away from the little one, looking at Johnson and Myra. He bent down and said, "Thank you so much. Thank you for taking care of... my son."

His address seemed a bit awkward, but everyone laughed. Even Charlie cheered excitedly.

Everything ended well. I silently prayed that the little one would have a good upbringing from now on.

My phone rang, and I quickly took it out of my bag. Seeing that it was Adrian calling, I stepped aside and answered, "Hey, Adrian."

"Chloe, due to Melanie's crucial role in Matthew's case, the trial will be postponed despite our efforts. It can't proceed as scheduled tomorrow," Adrian conveyed the news.

Upon hearing this, my heart sank, and I repeated, "It still can't proceed as scheduled? Alright then."

Sensing my subdued mood, Adrian added, "However, Mr. Atlas and my team are still working hard. We're striving to replace evidence that

disconnects Matthew from that ne

project in Muborough, allowing us to escape the case.

"And for other projects directly handled by Matthew, we have sufficient evidence to debunk the false claims against him, proving his innocence. Then we can proceed with the trial."

"Is there hope of replaceing this evidence?" I inquired.

Adrian promptly responded, "There are two possibilities. One is apprehending Melanie. The other is replaceing witnesses who can confirm Matthew wasn't involved in those projects."

"So, we need to start with Melanie for this evidence?" I continued, "The executives at Ardora are currently leaning toward Liora, and it might be challenging to replace that."

Adrian assured, "It's not impossible, but we must make them realize the situation. Rest assured. Mr. Atlas is already working on it."

"Alright. I'll think of a solution on my end, too," I told Adrian.

After the call, I felt burdened as I pondered his words.

Observing the two families playing with the children in the living room, I delegated the follow-up matters to Johnson. I needed to return to the company.

I called Johnson aside, instructing him, "Johnson, later, help me take the Reese family back together. I have some matters to attend to."

Then, I bid farewell to the Reese family, saying, "I won't accompany you further. Johnson will take you back, and Myra will stay with you for a few days. I'll visit you and Charlie when I have time.

"If you have any questions or issues, just ask the couple. You can also contact me too, but I really need to leave now."

I looked at Annika, "Feel free to call me if you need anything."

I had exchanged contact information with Annika when I was at their house.

Donovan quickly asked Arton to see me off, aligning with my intentions.
