Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Losing One’s Temper

Atlas lowered his gaze and didn’t respond.

I asked him a string of questions, “Was it really you? Why didn’t you come in? Did you spend your holiday

alone abroad or here in Foswood? Were you

“Don’t you think it’s a little late to be asking all this?” He sounded annoyed.

I got teary and said, “There had been rumors everywhere. First, it was Annalise, and then it was Harmony. Will there be more of them? I don’t care about your wealth, but how could I love an unfaithful man?”

My words came out in a rush. “I’ve been humiliated enough by Matthew. And now, I’ve found another man who can’t keep his heart in check. Am I a person anyone can use and deceive at their whim?”

“Am I just anyone to you?

“You’re not!” I looked at him, tears rolling down my cheeks. “I’ve told you I’m not worthy of you. But if you try to pursue me, you must take responsibility! All I want is a simple, love–filled life. Am I unworthy of that?”

“You are worthy,” he gently said, holding me tightly. “Don’t cry.”

“Do I look like Annalise to you? Why do you need someone else if you loved her so much?” I asked, my voice strained. “Let me make this clear, Atlas. My name is Chloe, not Annalise!”

“You’re not anyone!” He said it cryptically.

“What does that mean? Explain it to me. Do I have to be like her? My heart ached as I said, “I’m not foolish enough to compete with a memory. If you’re trying to find her in me, let’s part ways right here. I won’t be anyone’s replacement.”

With that, I tried to push him away and get up.

He was startled and quickly held me down. “No, it’s not like that. You’re you. I don’t care about Annalise. She has nothing to do with me. I’ve told you to only believe in me. I’ll explain it all eventually, but not now.”

“Why not?

“You shouldn’t know too much right now. There will come a day when you’ll understand. You’re the person I’ve been searching for,” he said as he gently brushed away my stray hair.

W-Why are you saying this?”

‘m still investigating. Many pieces don’t fit together, so I can’t give you a definite answer yet. Give me Remember my word, no matter what happens or how many obstacles arise. Trust me Trust

“Give me a hint!” I pleaded.

“My parents‘ death isn’t that simple!” His eyes flickered with pain.

My mouth fell open. “You mean… the plane crash was orchestrated?”

“I’m still looking into it.”

We both fell silent.

After a long while, he kissed my neck. “Annalise was an incredibly important person, but I only feel remorse for her, not love. So, don’t dwell on her anymore. You’re the one I see. The rest are just players in

the scene, understand?”

His words strangely comforted me. As I left the hotel, I felran unprecedented sense of relief. The heavy weight in my heart had finally lifted.

Little did I know that what he said would weigh more than any burden I had ever carried. In fact, I later realized it was not a warning at all, but his deepest fear.

Unease settled in my stomach as I drove away from Cresswind Valley. It was as if someone was

watching me.

Chapter 263 Taking Advantage

I looked around from my car, trying to spot anything unusual, but everything appeared normal. However, that strange feeling persisted.

With that nagging thought, I pressed on the gas pedal and drove home.

1. me. “Who would’ve thought our little girl would be so clingy?”
