Beyond the Divorce

Anson smiled at me, saying, "It's good that you like the idea. Let's get to it then."

I didn't know how to respond, but he kept looking at me. He seemed displeased and asked, "What's wrong, Chloe? Do you disagree?"

My mind raced as the situation astounded me. Still, I knew disagreeing would contradict what I had just told Trinity. On the other hand, I didn't expect this with the Huffmans. I never wanted to have dealings with a family of the Huffmans' status. After all, they differed from the Beringers.

I became a goddaughter to the Beringers because I understood Atlas's connection to them. It was also because of Atlas's subtle intervention.

However, the Huffmans belonged to an entirely different category. I knew the term sworn sisters carried significant weight, especially to Anson. Most would keep their distance from such families, but I had little time to think.

Anson awaited my response, and the Huffmans' loyal guards were watching me. It would humiliate Trinity if I refused. Ultimately, I stepped forward and said, "Mr. Anson, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm unworthy of becoming your family's sworn daughter."

"Haha, it's enough if you're willing. Let's not waste time." Anson waved. "Prepare for the ceremony."

My earlier words were an attempt to buy myself time to think. It seemed I was destined to become Trinity's sworn sister today. Considering my solitary status in Foswood, I thought having more friends could only be a good thing.

Still, I felt uneasy and hoped it wouldn't affect my relationship with the Beringers. After the ceremony, I intended to visit the Beringers and explain everything.
