Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130 The Graceful Silhouette We woke up close to noon the following day, and I felt Atlas’s arms wrapped around me.

I doubted he would let go if Fred didn’t call me.

I told Atlas I still had work to do and had to return to Foswood in the evening.

He released me and got up, offering to have lunch with me.

My relationship with Atlas made me feel conflicted.

I wondered what we were to each other.

It felt like the puzzle pieces just fit.

He hadn’t made commitments, and there were no declarations of love.

Whenever I saw him, I didn’t know how to refuse him.

For some reason, I felt comfortable being with him.

He didn’t ask for my consent again and simply took action.

So, I dared not ask him about the nature of our relationship.

It was already late at night when I reached Foswood.

I was so exhausted that I could barely speak.

My mom looked at me with a heavy heart and shook her head, saying, “Chlo, why are you pushing yourself so hard? “Do you want to come home with your dad and me? Life is short, so isn’t comfort and happiness more important?” My mom had a point, but Foswood held too much for me.

I had too many regrets to leave.

I couldn’t back down and had to win back the ten years of my youth.

After signing the contract, it seemed I had captured Matthew on my web.

She dressed elegantly, showing her taste for the finer things in life.

The woman seemed graceful, and I could imagine her captivating smile while she talked to Atlas.

That was because he looked indulgent, a sight I seldom saw.

Ivanna followed my distracted gaze and looked back at me, asking, “What’s going on?” I feigned ignorance and looked back at her.

“It’s nothing.” “Shouldn’t we say hi?” She probed.

“There’s no need for that,” I replied while ordering our dishes, but I couldn’t shake my disappointment.

The meal felt tasteless, and even the romantic river view had become boring.

I couldn’t help but want to see the woman’s face.
