Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Clarity

Harmony saw me laughing and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing because you’re too self–absorbed. I suggest you pay attention to others for a change. As for the rooftop incident, I wouldn’t dwell on it.

“The press conference made things pretty clear. You should read those reports if you don’t understand. As for my feelings for Atlas, I just have one question for you. How does Atlas treat you?”

I intentionally asked this question, knowing Harmony would think I was prying into

her lif

life.

Sure enough, her eyes narrowed. “That is between me and him. I’m asking about your thoughts, so don’t

deflect the conversation.”

I studied her, feeling some regret. How could such a lovely face be paired with such a closed–off mind?

“You’re always seeking my opinion and information. It shows a lack of confidence on your part.”

I used provocative language because this dimwit couldn’t resist a challenge.

“What confidence do I lack? I mean, let’s be real. The online haters have a point. Can you honestly picture

doesn’t make me obligated to be nice to you.”

“Don’t assume that I’m done just because I saved you. Look, I would’ve done the same for anyone. I

“So, quit coming to me with these silly questions. Whether I’m interested in him is none of your business. I

don’t think either of us has any real influence over him.”

I felt like I’d gained some profound Insight. My words were a way of reasoning with Harmony, but they

also clarified my thoughts.

Harmony was always looking for answers, which showed that Atlas’s feelings for her were more

complicated than they appeared. Harmony struggled to understand this, prompting her to seek answers.

Like her, I always wanted to understand Atlas’s feelings toward Annalise.

“But why do people say that you keep pestering Atlas?”

“Did you see me pestering him?” I asked her seriously.

My question left Harmony speechless. At the same time, I questioned why I should let go.
