Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1162

I quickly entered their dressing room, which was neatly arranged with no clutter or signs of any books brought back.

I searched around hastily and then hurriedly left the dressing room. Time didn't allow me to continue searching. I needed to find my mom and ask her what my dad brought home.

Exiting their room, I rushed to Rose’s room since they were probably together.

I indeed found my mom with Rose, organizing something.

I immediately asked, "Mom! When you and Dad returned from Bibury, did you bring back any books?"

My mom turned to look at me, hesitatingly asking, "Why did you come back so early today? How’s Oliver?"

"He's stabilized. He's out of intensive care now, and things seem to be fine. He just needs some rest," I responded absentmindedly. My mind was focused on the question I needed to ask her.

"Thank goodness. We were just discussing this matter with Mrs. Rose," my mom mumbled.

Anxious, I pressed on, "Mom? Did you bring back some books from Bibury?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" My mom looked at me with skepticism. "Your dad didn’t bring any books with him. He was determined this time. Those chemistry books he had were all given away. Why do you ask?"

My mom scrutinized me.

"Are you sure Dad didn't bring anything back?" I questioned again.

My mom walked closer to me. "Chlo, what's going on? What are you looking for?"

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask what you brought back when you returned. It suddenly crossed my mind, so I thought I'd ask," I replied, concealing my urgency.

"We didn't bring anything back. Besides buying a lot of mushrooms and other delicacies for Mrs. Rose, there was nothing else," my mom said, her eyes fixed on my face.
