Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1167

Ryan's revelation sparked my intense curiosity.

I pressed for more details, asking, "And? Is there anything else?"

"No... You know the situation, and I was on borrowed time. Plus, when I started investigating, I realized that finding even this bit of information was quite a lot of trouble," Ryan replied earnestly.

"When did you think about looking into this?" I was curious.

"It was after returning to Bibury and recalling when we first met, along with everything that happened afterward. I wanted to help you figure out the things you've been suspicious about. But once I started digging, I found out how peculiar it all was."

I had complete faith in Ryan's words. It seemed my parents were not what I expected. They weren't northerners, and certainly not from Bibury.

"Finding that old teacher was incredibly difficult, and the old man is almost 90 years old now, but he's sharp as a tack, with a remarkably clear mind. He said he felt uneasy after getting that large sum of money, so he decided to relocate his whole family to the capital.

"It took a lot of time and effort for me to find him. Following up further became challenging due to a lack of leads and time constraints. I even extended my vacation and took almost a month off before returning to Foswood with Joyce."

"Looks like there's a story here," I murmured into the phone.

"Yes, I even suspect... Though it's just a suspicion… That your surname might be fake," Ryan told me. "I thought I could continue my investigation if I could go back to Bibury during Thanksgiving."

My head throbbed again. I massaged my temples absentmindedly and said, "It looks like it must be related to this notebook."

I thought about the formulas in that notebook, wondering what they could be.

Could my dad have connections to Bermuda? I hesitated to let my thoughts wander any further.

If they were from Bermuda, how did I end up in their hands?

"Chlo... Chlo, are you still listening?"
