Chapter 96 Coincidental

My reaction caught Atlas off guard while Ivanna ran over to pick up my crying daughter.

She glanced at

Atlas and then pulled me away.

I was still trembling and vomiting when we reached Ivanna’s place. Since I had nothing to

eat before, I

could only vomit bile, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.

Aka stayed beside me with widened eyes, concerned as she pleaded, “Mommy, go find

Daddy!*

I held and reassured her, “Be a good girl, okay? Mommy will always be by your side.”

I couldn’t bear to tell her she might not have a father anymore. Once I calmed down, I

called Adrian and

asked him a few questions. Then, I asked Ivanna to help me with some tasks. She was the

only one I

could trust at that moment.

She carried my bag the whole time. When I checked it, I noticed she had taken all my

necessities.

Afterward, I told her I wanted to go home, which startled her. “Why would you want to do

that?”

“I meant my home here,” I clarified.

When we left Ivanna’s apartment, I was surprised to see Atlas standing beside his car. He

looked at me,

and I hesitated before handing Ava to Ivanna, saying, “I need to talk to him for a second.”

Ivanna held my daughter and headed toward my apartment unit. Meanwhile, I approached

Atlas in my still

-tattered dress. We stared at each other for a while, and I finally said, “Thank you, but you

should go now.”

I knew he understood my implication since he didn’t argue. Instead, he gazed at me

intensely, saying, “If

you’re hurt, I apologize.”

I wondered if he meant that everything was somehow related to him. He thought he could

make things right by apologizing after turning me into Foswood’s laughing stock. I had

painstakingly preserved my

dignity, yet he shattered it.

I had no idea what he was trying to accomplish. I scoffed and said, “Can your apology

erase my humiliation? What else can I do? What about my daughter and my family?”

Surprisingly, Atlas responded with a cruel smirk, “What happened was a fact. So, will you

let him continue manipulating you, or will you keep deceiving yourself? Can you still

endure facing a man like him? You

Surprise me, Ms Chloe.”

words stabbed at my heart. Although I had pondered those questions countless times,

Atlas’s blunt honey made me ashamed I stared at him without a word, and he stared back.

Soon after, he stepped forward and caressed my face. Then, he pulled me into his

embrace and said,

Just call me if you need anything.”

I stubbornly replied, “That won’t be necessary. It’s my own business, and you’ve already

helped me a lot. I said I’ll handle it myself, so you should leave. I don’t want to get you

into unnecessary trouble. I know

what to do.”

Atlas looked at me with an inexplicable emotion. Suddenly, he smiled and pinched my

cheek. I’ll always

be here for you.”

His words were touching, but I knew today’s events were coincidental. I was confused,

wondering how he knew Lauren would catch Matthew red–handed. I straightened up, left

his embrace, and said, “Please

leave.”

Immediately after, I ran toward the apartment that now belonged to me. I could no longer

retreat nor

predict what would happen next.
