“If I stay away from Mountain for a little longer, will it be too troublesome? Will you feel burdened?” There was some reluctance in Leonel’s mind. Robby Grisham should be enjoying his retirement, not being bothered with Mountain again. But what could be done? Leonel himself couldn’t let go of Mountain to someone else yet. The past taught him to remain cautious.
“I wanted to discuss this with Deborah. But I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to make the decisions. If there are any obstacles, it will make things difficult for me alone. That’s why I’m discussing this with you first, Dad,” Leonel concluded. Deborah was someone he could trust, especially during his difficult times. She didn’t pay attention to all the news about him. Deborah’s loyalty to Mountain had been proven. However, for some issues, Leonel knew Deborah couldn’t just take any way out. That’s why he discussed this with Robby, his father, regarding company matters. It wasn’t just about his affairs to get back to Chloe; although Robby supported him, Leonel fought to win her back.
Even now, Leonel felt challenged to approach Chloe again, considering her cold and dismissive attitude whenever he got close. Leonel also thought that the wounds from the past made Chloe still resent him. Leonel knew that for sure.
“You don’t have to worry about Mountain. I’ve asked Deborah to handle it. You don’t need to worry about matters in New York City,” Robby clarified to Leonel during the ongoing phone call.
“I trust you, Dad, because you’ll help me resolve this. So I can fight to win Chloe back,” Leonel responded to his father through the still-connected phone call.
“I hope your effort to be back with Chloe is successful this time. I also really want her to return to our family, especially your mother,” Robby replied to Leonel. Meanwhile, Leonel took a slow breath and flashed a faint smile when he thought of Chloe’s name.
His mind was now filled with thoughts of Chloe.
“Alright then, I’ll wait for further updates from you because I have a lot of work to do after this,” Leonel said to Robby on the call. Shortly after, the phone call ended. Leonel ended the call and placed his phone on the side table next to the sofa.
At this moment, Leonel pondered on how he could reunite with Chloe. He was also puzzled about how to regain her attention and make her his wife again because if it remained like this, Leonel would surely go crazy thinking that Chloe was not as easily approachable as before.
Not only that, but Leonel also grew more worried that Chloe would outright reject him if he had to approach her again. But it didn’t matter. If that’s how it was, he wanted to show Chloe his efforts to win back his ex-wife’s heart. Leonel tried to think of ways to reenter Chloe’s embrace. He even considered involving Chris in a collaboration to bring Chloe back to him by any means necessary. Unfortunately, the current Chloe no longer cares about wealth because his ex-wife would have targeted his wealth long ago if she truly coveted his inheritance.
However, not long after, Leonel’s phone buzzed again. He saw an incoming call from Deborah. He immediately answered the call from his secretary, considering what important matter she wanted to discuss with him at this moment.
“Good evening, Mr. Leonel. There are a few things I’d like to discuss and some questions that have left me a bit confused,” Deborah greeted on the call. Upon hearing that, Leonel nodded softly before responding.
“Go ahead, Di,” Leonel said.
“Some proposals and company matters require your attention, but a few minutes ago, I received news from Mr. Robby that you won’t be able to return to New York City shortly. So I’ll handle them with Mr. Robby’s assistance. Is that correct?” Deborah asked Leonel.
“That’s correct. Just follow Papa’s guidance. He certainly knows better when it comes to making decisions with clients. You should fully support him, Deborah. I have some matters that can’t be left unattended.” Although Leonel trusted Deborah, he never liked sharing his personal affairs with others. “I hope you can assist me in working together on this,” he explained the change to Deborah.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Alright, sir. I’ll handle it and support Mr. Robby. I hope whatever business you have in Beverly Hills goes smoothly and yields good results,” Deborah replied. She thought that her boss wanted to expand his wings in Beverly Hills.
“Thank you,”
His phone returned to the previous home screen. He pondered for a moment, then grinned widely. “Chris, don’t expect a good night’s sleep tonight.” He immediately contacted Chris to ask for assistance in his return to Chloe. So far, everyone has supported Leonel’s desire to be back in the arms of his ex-wife. Leonel also hoped that good things would come his way, especially now that the young doctor named Darren was not in Beverly Hills, making Leonel feel even more at ease and happy.
