Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 786

During this uncontrollable situation, Jared was the Huffman family's pillar.

Anson was getting old. He might have once dominated the scene, but now he had to admit that he was no longer in his prime.

However, entrusting a big chunk of the Huffman family affairs to Trinity might be a strain on her.

Trinity was still a woman, no matter how strong she was. Not just anyone could handle the Huffman family business. There were many risks even within her own sphere of influence. That was something Anson was well aware of.

"Jared…”

Anson stared at Jared for some time while the latter looked solemnly back at him. “Mr. Anson.”

I thought he had something to discuss with Jared in private, so I glanced at Atlas and quickly suggested, "Maybe we should step away."

But as soon as I said that, Anson raised his hand. "There’s no need for that. You're not outsiders."

I stopped in my tracks and returned to my spot.

He thought for a moment, but only said a few words to Jared. "Bring her back."

My heart felt heavy. I knew the weight behind those words.

He didn't even ask Jared to bring her back alive. I didn't know what he meant.

I could still feel Anson's unease. After all, Trinity was his precious daughter.

He had never married anyone else after Trinity’s mother, which showed just how much he loved her. It was also clear that he cherished Trinity, who had lost her mother at a young age.

Trinity was Anson's soft spot. Anyone could tell how important she was to him.

I was sure that deep down, he was still anxious.

"I'll take my leave, Anson." Atlas turned and left as well.

"Feel free to make yourself at home, Chloe. It's your first time back in the Huffman family, after all, even if it is under unusual circumstances.”

"I know this is my home too. That's why I came back. Don't worry, Trinity will be fine. Trust us." I sat next to him and tried to comfort him.

I remembered the first time I met him. It was when Trinity was in critical condition, and he was furious.

He was on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, Bella managed to comfort him with her gentle words. I didn't know what she had said, but it seemed that the best way to alleviate a situation like this was to soothe him quietly.

Anson lowered his head. "Trinity’s going through a lot. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her bear such a heavy burden as a girl. I was selfish. She should have been able to enjoy her life experiencing romance, getting married, and having children like other girls," he said softly, sounding desolate.

I suddenly felt he had aged significantly.

"Don't think about it like that. Maybe this was just her fate.”
