Chapter 188 Sense of Belonging

Atlas made a dinner reservation as we entered the car. My heart kept pounding

throughout the ride, and I

couldn’t bring myself to look at him. He pulled me closer, saying, “Call your parents and

tell them you

won’t be home tonight.”

I had no strength to argue or think about anything else. I just wanted to find peace in

Atlas’s arms as it

melted away all my worries and anxieties. Soon, we returned to the resort. I felt a sense of

belonging, like

this was our home.

His previous question still entranced me. “Do you want to stay here or go home?”

I wondered if this place could be our home.

After dinner, he didn’t hesitate to hold and shower me with kisses. I felt like crying then

because I had

waited for him for so long. I missed him so much, and all my longing turned into

happiness.

However, I dared not look at him, afraid of keeping this moment in my memory. Instead, I

closed my eyes

as my mind went blank.

“Why won’t you look at me?” Atlas asked.

I reluctantly opened my eyes and met his tender gaze. His handsome face held a deep

affection that

melted me. He held me tightly and whispered, “Chloe, I’ve missed you so much.”

His words brought me a sense of comfort. I didn’t know if this was his way of declaring his

feelings for

1. me. I wondered how long he would keep missing me and dared not consider how

much he loved me.

I nestled in his embrace and couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything going smoothly with

your work?”

“Mmm.” He held me, letting out a soft hum. I wasn’t sure if that hum meant everything

smoothly.

Unexpectedly, he shared, “There are some new issues at the headquarters, and the

outgoing CEO won’t

make any moves for now. So, I’ll be staying in Foswood.”

My heart lightened, and I couldn’t help but smile. Did that mean Atlas hadn’t accepted any

additional

conditions? I felt a sense of relief wash over me, thinking if it meant he hadn’t accepted

any additional

conditions.

Still, there was a lingering worry in the back of my mind. I didn’t want obstacles to hinder

Atlas’s success

and only wished for everything to go smoothly for him.

He gazed down at me and brushed my cheek as he asked, “You want me to stay, don’t

you?”

His question brought me back to reality. I didn’t know whether or not I wanted him to stay

and wondered what I would be to him if he left. Was i just his companion in times like

these?

I heard single men often seek experienced, obedient, and intelligent partners. Was he one

of those men?

I remained silent while sorrow surged within me. Suddenly, I abandoned my usual

reserved attitude and kissed Atlas passionately. However, he gently tugged at my hair

with a hint of displeasure, demanding.” Why won’t you answer me?”

He looked into my eyes like he could sense something was amiss.

I looked at him forlornly. “I’m a divorcee. How could I demand or hope for anything? All

that matters is

that you’re doing well.”

“Is that how you really feel?” he growled.

I understood what he asked but didn’t know how to respond. Since I remained silent, he

pressed me closer to vent his frustrations. It made me wonder if he was just concerned

about me. It seemed like it would be a sleepless night for me.

I pondered the uncertain nature of our relationship. Stella told me they had an arranged

marriage. But

even without Stella, wasn’t he still bound by constraints?

The following day, I rode in his car to the office. He seemed to be in high spirits. The drive

was leisurely

and unhurried as well, I was delighted to see him so content. I thought maybe I could stop

overthinking

things, but little did I know that reality was about to shatter my illusions.

Trouble was on the horizon
