Beyond the Divorce

I exchanged a glance with Carol and smiled, remarking, "Looks like he's turned a new leaf. His son is a little angel who changed his life."

"Chloe, if he's like this now, I might need to reconsider my opinions of him. I can't look down on him anymore." Carol playfully stuck out her tongue.

Her words made me smile. I glanced at her and teased, "So, you admit you used to look down on him?"

"I... didn't know. How did he suddenly change so much?" Carol chuckled awkwardly.

As I approached Arton, he gave us a casual glance and continued working without paying us much attention. He had only realized it was me when I reached him. He immediately stopped working, offering an awkward smile. "Ms. Chloe..." He scratched his head after speaking, "Why are you here?"

"It's my construction site, so of course, I'm here," I replied with a smile.

"I-I didn't mean that," he said, inserting the shovel into the sand. Then he picked up the towel around his neck and wiped his sweat.

Carol turned and left in the car.

I looked at Arton and asked, "How's it going? Are you getting used to it?"

"Yeah. It was quite tiring at the beginning, but it feels good in my heart." He wiped his face again, which was significantly tanned now.

"How long have you been working here?" I asked. Judging by the degree of his sunburn, it must have been some time.

"One month, and it's good. I feel at ease in my heart. When I'm tired, I sleep, so I don't have random thoughts. At least my son will spend the money I earn cleanly in the future." He grinned and said earnestly, "I-I know it's your construction site." "Indeed, I'm really happy that you can do this. Work well." I sincerely told him. To be honest, I had the idea of having him assist Johnson, but he came on his own. This must be fate.

However, I didn't tell him my thoughts. I needed to assess his endurance and perseverance first.

Just as Carol came back by car, she shouted at him, "Hey, Arton, come here."

He hurriedly ran over, and Carol opened the trunk, revealing several boxes of water she had bought.

Then she said to me, "I arranged for the site to deliver water for everyone later."

I gave Carol a thumbs up.

Arton unloaded the water and then called over the people from his team, "Come and have some water, everyone."

I was very pleased. It seemed like he was getting along well with these people.

"You're familiar with all of them?" I asked.

"Yeah. We've become friends early on." Arton handed me a bottle of water, but he quickly retracted it. "M-My hands are a bit dirty."

I said, "Give it here. In fact, when I started my business, I also visited construction sites."

As soon as Arton heard me say this, he quickly handed me the bottle. I opened it and took a sip. Today's water felt particularly sweet.

The workers also came over to drink

water. Lchatted with them, asked about the situation on the construction site, and any needs they had before leaving.

It seemed that what Ryan said was true. They were progressing fast.

I also checked the location I had chosen for Fred's factory and then went to see Noah. He was quite satisfied with the current construction progress.

I took the opportunity to talk to him about the idea of the old Bourdamun. Noah immediately sensed the information and asked me, "Do you have any ideas?" "That depends on the policies on our end." I tested the waters.

"Then we can sit down and have a good chat. With the cooperation of the new city, I can seek approval from the higher-ups," Noah said seriously.

That was enough of a promise from him, but now was not the time to sit down and talk.

"I'm still thinking about it, and it's not confirmed yet." I retracted the topic.

Then I talked to him about the construction of Fred's factory. I wanted to fight for some good benefits for the latter.

Of course, Noah was still as sharp

as ever. He immediately told me the benefits he offered. I was already very satisfied. After all, Fred was the first to invest in Solaris.

When I came out of Noah's place, it was already after 3 p.m. I told Carol, "Let's go back to Foswood."

In the car, I called Johnson, inquiring if he knew about Arton coming to Bourdamun.

He said, "I knew about it because... it was me who recommended him. Is there... anything wrong, Chloe? Myra went to see the child and came back telling me that Arton wanted to find a decent job. But in Foswood, he has always found it difficult to do that.

"After all, he used to... you know. So I'm afraid he'll lose patience, go astray, and end up harming his child."

It was just as I expected. I chuckled and said, "You did the right thing. Keep an eye on him and assess him."NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Okay, Chloe, I got it." Johnson was astute and immediately understood what I meant by that.
