Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 887

When my father saw me looking at him, he quickly resumed his smile. "I should do it myself. I need to throw some things I don’t need anymore away too.”

As soon as I heard him say that, I knew he was thinking about it, so I quickly seized the opportunity to convince him to follow through. "We’ll have some peace of mind after we deal with that. It’ll be better to not have to think about what things are like there every year. Won’t that just be asking for trouble?"

“But we should never forget our roots,” he said.

"Dad. Aren't I part of your roots? You should be wherever I am too." I said confidently.

My dad smiled but didn’t say anything. He was probably still thinking about how to handle this.

Atlas understood what I was thinking and said, "Chlo is right, Dad. You should just settle down here. I'll send someone with you to help pack your things and deal with the house one day."

"It’s okay. Your mom and I can go back together when the time comes. It'll be easy to deal with the house. Some people in the area will probably be interested in it," he said vaguely, looking like he was still attached.

I quickly added, "Don't ask for too high a price. Take the offer as long as it's reasonable. Or sell it cheap if someone wants it."

He hesitated but eventually nodded reluctantly.

Atlas and I exchanged a smile. It seemed like this matter was now settled.

But I felt a little uneasy. It looked like my dad had a secret.

As our conversation ended, we heard Ava's sweet voice calling. "Grandpa, what's that?"

We all turned to look. Ava was pointing at a breadfruit tree heavy with fruit.

My dad smiled and said, "That’s the breadfruit you eat every day."

Ava blinked her big eyes, staring at the fruit on the tree. "But the breadfruit I eat is yellow. Why is this one so dark, like a big winter melon? It's so ugly."

Jenny immediately countered, "No, that's wrong. Winter melons are smooth, but this one has bumps."

I laughed and turned to my dad. "Why is it so big though?"
