Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 629

Trinity's actions startled me. Indeed, she could instantly turn words into actions. As soon as her words fell, the tall and robust young man from earlier walked back in.

Trinity asked, "Has Grandpa arrived?"

"Yes, Ms. Trinity," Erik replied respectfully.

I was surprised, wondering who Grandpa was. It escalated the situation a bit, and I thought I should express my gratitude to the older man.

"Erik, please bring Grandpa in," Trinity commanded, and Erik turned to leave.

I stood up, feeling nervous. After all, I should show respect to the head of the Huffmans. Moreover, his daughter risked her life for me.

Seeing my nervousness, Trinity stood up with a smile. "Why are you so nervous?"

"I've always wanted to thank your grandpa but never had the chance," I said.

She smirked. "I'll give you that chance."

When the door opened, a spirited old man entered with a crowd. The liveliness made me uneasy, and it seemed the Huffmans’ meals might not be as enjoyable as I had hoped. The old man scrutinized me from head to toe as soon as he entered.

Of course, I felt uncomfortable and stepped forward. I bowed slightly and greeted the old man, “Hello, Mr. Anson.”

He said, “However, you saved her life in return, meaning you’ve made amends for your mistake. Since we’re even now, I accept your apology and thanks.”

I felt a sense of relief when I saw him smile.

“Since you two want to befriend each other, I propose a more traditional approach. You should become sworn sisters according to my family’s customs. That way, you’ll be like family. Trinity would gain a sister, and I’d gain another daughter.

“You’ll look out for each other from now on. What do you think, Chloe?”

I was dumbfounded and wondered how Trinity’s invitation led to this situation. I could only stand there in a daze as everyone looked at me. I knew those behind Anson were the family’s big shots.
