Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Tossing Him Aside I heard Atlas leaving the room.

Then I heard voices outside the door, the door closing, and someone walking back in.

“Don’t you feel suffocated? Atlas’s voice sounded again, I slowly lifted the corner of the blanket to find him looking down at me from above, his smile radiant.

He looked handsome in a different way.

Is this still the calm and reserved Atlas I knew? He pulled me and the blanket toward him, holding me in his arms.

I felt my heart racing.

“Hey… what are you doing?” I struggled to breathe with him so close and his handsome face coming closer.

Suddenly, I remembered the wild and passionate kiss we shared on the riverbank last night.

It was utterly embarrassing.

People could be reckless when drunk.

His stare was intense.

“You’re overthinking.

Relax! I’d never take advantage of an unconscious person.

I helped you out of your clothes and showered you.

You were too stinky after vomiting.” My head spun from embarrassment.

What did I do last night? Was I the one who had been stuttering? And he was the one I poured my heart out to? “Well… maybe I should put my clothes back on!” I babbled, struggling in his arms.

He tightened his grip on me and said, “You’re ungrateful.

How could you toss me aside after everything did for you?” “No one would toss someone as handsome as you,” I blurted, almost biting my tongue off as the words left my mouth.

He chuckled arrogantly, stating, “That’s not entirely inaccurate.” Still, he was quite the gentleman.

He let go of me, picked up his clothes, and left the room.

I quickly wriggled out of bed, shivering slightly as I dressed.

I examined myself carefully, making sure nothing was out of place.

grabbed my bag, left the bedroom, and thought about running away.

He expected that.

It all felt like a dream.

I felt confused by all these circumstances and feelings.

Was I doing this out of revenge? I couldn’t deny the sense of intoxication and excitement I felt.

I rushed downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the office.

Even sitting at my desk, I couldn’t completely calm my heart.

My emotions were confusing.

I took a few deep breaths to remind myself not to lose sight of things.

This was not the end of my battle.

I needed to keep working hard.

I needed to provide a bright future for my daughter.

Before I could fully gather my thoughts, Matthew burst into my office.
