Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1351

I glanced at him, unsure how to begin.

It was Arnold who broke the silence. "Go ahead and speak."

"Do you really want to take over completely?" I scrutinized him.

He chuckled. "Seems like I'm still seen as a good-for-nothing in your eyes, and I’m just a freeloader. Am I that bad?"

"Not at all. It's just a bit sudden." I tried to hide my skepticism.

"It's time for me to take over. Grandma is getting old, and I've been quite unfilial. I've been reckless and irresponsible, but I have to step up. After all, the family can't find another successor. It's a responsibility I can't ignore."

He spoke with solemnity as if burdened with a mission.

I nodded with a smile. "Yeah. It's indeed surprising. I didn't expect you to be quite manly."

"What are you talking about? Of course I am!" He showed a mischievous grin and leaned in, asking, "Which one of me do you like?"

He always teased me like this. Since the day I met him, he refused to treat me like a sister, but now, in front of others, he was quite polite.

He smirked playfully, then became serious again. "My decision has another factor."

I looked at him puzzled. "What is it?"
