Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Felgning ignorance

I got drunk that night, so Ryan had to send me home. When we exited his car, he carried me on his back. I piggled and refused to go inside.

He walked around the neighborhood with me on his back while recounting everything that happened during my freshman year. I remembered how nice he had been to me. Eventually, I fell asleep on his back.

I didn’t remember how I returned to my room, but I felt at ease. I was no longer afraid since my parents. were there to care for Ava. I felt like I could do whatever I pleased.

Suddenly, a series of phone calls woke me. My head still pounded, and I knew it was a holiday. I silenced my phone and buried my face in the pillow, forcing myself not to overthink. However, I couldn’t sleep or shake the pain in my heart anymore.

Suddenly, my phone rang again.

I picked up my phone and saw Atlas’s name. After some hesitation, I finally answered. After all, I had longed for him to call me.

“Yeah?” My voice was hoarse from just waking up.

“Why didn’t you answer earlier?” It seemed Atlas had noticed the indifference in my voice. “Why are you

crying?”

“I just woke up.”

“If you’re unhappy, just say it. If you have questions, ask,” Atlas’s tone remained cold.

I said nothing and felt a bitter lump in my throat. There was a long silence between us when Atlas finally asked, “Aren’t you happy I called?”

“I’m afraid of misspeaking again. After all, I’m pretty dumb,” I bitterly replied.

He responded with a mocking scoff and taunted, “You should reflect on yourself. Aren’t you dumb?”

“Mr. Atlas, I’m a divorcee, so I’ve failed in life. You can find someone young and beautiful-“Before I

could finish, he rudely interrupted me and hung up.

I held my phone for a long time before realizing I had gone too far. I felt uneasy again, wondering why I

sought momentary satisfaction like that. Even if we couldn’t be together, we didn’t need to hurt each

other
