Semua Bab Beyond the Divorce: Bab 471 - Bab 480

We both froze as we locked eyes and burst into laughter. I gently pushed him away, saying, “It must be another one of those Murphy family members.”He got up as well, biting my lip. “I’m heading upstairs. I’ll be waiting for you.”I went to open the door, only to find out it wasn’t anyone from the Murphy family at all. It was Harmony.I asked her through the intercom, feigning ignorance, “What can I do for you?”“Open the door!” Her tone was forceful. After saying that, she pressed the buzzer several times, almost like a provocation.I chuckled and pressed the unlock button.In the video feed, I saw Harmony push open the door and storm in. When she reached the entrance to the living room, I opened the door.She shoved me out of the way and walked right in. I was certain she had no good intentions and was out to humiliate me in front of my family.She looked stunned after scanning the empty living room. It took her a while before she turned back to me. “What? Are you the only

If it weren’t for Carol’s phone call, I wouldn’t have wanted to get out of bed. I felt like all the energy had been drained from me.I found that the spot beside me had gone cold. It seemed he had been gone for a while.With gritted teeth, I pushed myself up and glanced around the bedroom. It was impeccably tidy. I muttered under my breath, “Is this guy a wolf? He nearly devoured me.”After a quick shower, my legs still felt shaky. I changed into some fresh clothes and headed downstairs. I saw breakfast was already laid out on the table, along with a note.Scoffing, I picked up the note. Was this some kind of trend now?His handwriting was bold and powerful. The note reminded me to eat and replenish my strength.My face flushed as I cursed. This guy had no shame. He just had to point it out.I lifted the lid off the dishes. The dishes were exquisitely prepared, and he even made some soup. Maybe it was because my energy was depleted, but I dug into everything with gusto. It was s

"Mr. Atlas, when did it become okay for you to dismiss my people as you please?" I asked with a hint of annoyance. Grayson chuckled and left.Grayson, of course, knew about our relationship. Once Grayson left, Atlas sat on the couch. He extended his hand. “Come here.”I smiled and walked toward him. He grabbed my hand, pulling me onto his lap. “What did you have for lunch?”“I ate everything you made in the morning, so I’m not in the mood for lunch,” I admitted. “Why did you come?”“I missed you. Is that a good reason?” His deep eyes locked onto mine.“Why haven’t I seen you be this clingy before?” I teased.“I’m addicted! I’m obsessed!” He declared.This man was shameless, saying such things with a straight face.He pinched my cheek. “What do you want for dinner?”I still had no appetite, so I hadn’t even thought about dinner. “I haven’t decided yet. What do you want?”“I just want you!”His words almost left me breathless. I pointed at his nose. “I’ll bite you if you kee

Ava came back to Foswood, and indeed, it was Atlas who went to bring her back.With Ryan not at home and a lot of work to handle in the company, I couldn't leave. Atlas, despite his own busy schedule, insisted on keeping his promise to Ava. Thus, he flew to Celestis Island overnight and spent a whole day playing with her before taking the late-night flight back here.Dylan and I went to pick them up from the airport. On the tarmac, the little one ran toward me like a happy little bird, and her arms were outstretched to hug me tightly. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"Her sweet words almost made me swoon; it seemed that she had completely forgotten about the incident of being abducted.She was quite the social butterfly, confidently pulling me along to introduce her new friend. "Mommy, let me introduce you to my best friend, Jenny!"This was the first time I saw the girl who was two years older than her. She was a beautiful mixed-race child.After getting to know each other, we all

My eyes narrowed as I realized that the photo was of me and Ryan. The angle was truly deceptive, making it seem as though I was passionately kissing him after throwing myself into his arms.It was the moment when I was moved by his words as I was seeing him off to rest in his apartment. I had impulsively leaned in to express my gratitude to this brother figure for his years of care and understanding. However, being frozen in that split second gave it a different implication altogether—ambiguous and suggestive.Scrolling down, I found that it had already spread on the trending pages and was gaining a lot of attention. No wonder there was something off in the way Atlas reacted when I mentioned Ryan earlier. The source of his unease was evidently this.Just then, my phone chimed with a message notification. I exited the trending page and opened the message. It was a text on WhatsApp, and there was a link to a short video. I clicked on it.The video shocked me even more. It seemed to b
