Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1480

I discreetly assessed the newcomer and I found him to be a gentlemanly and refined middle-aged man, accompanied by our little cousin who had saved us the night before, Melvin.

Atlas quickly went to greet him. "Hello, Uncle."

The man nodded. "I've come to discuss a few things with you, Atlas."

Atlas nodded, walking side by side with the man into the study on the first floor.

Melvin immediately approached me with a mischievous smile. "How are you, Chloe?"

I gestured for him to sit down. "Please, have a seat. Have you had breakfast?"

"I haven't slept all night, so of course I need a hearty breakfast to replenish my energy. Do you have a sister, Chloe?" he suddenly asked, catching me off guard.

He looked at me with a sunny smile and explained, "You're so pretty, so your sister must be just as lovely. Can I get in line early?"

"Watch your manners, Mr. Melvin," Dylan warned, noticing his flattery.

Melvin glared at Dylan. "Mind your own business."

Then he continued bantering with me. He reminded me of Arnold but with a bit more mischief, since he was much younger than Arnold.

Honestly, I quite liked this little cousin of mine.

From his words, it was clear that they had been up all night. It seemed that both the Cross and Lively families had taken action last night. No wonder Atlas was so confident.

After about twenty minutes with his uncle, Atlas came out of the study and briefly introduced us. That was when I learned that the refined man was Brock, Melvin's father. He was also the husband of Atlas's aunt.

After exchanging some pleasantries, he hastily left with Melvin.

Before they left, Melvin ran up to me, playfully asking, "Can I visit you in Foswood, Chloe?"

I smiled and nodded. "Of course. You're welcome anytime."
