Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1037

Chapter 1037 Lost and Regained

I was devastated when I heard the automated message telling me Matt's phone was turned off. I couldn't believe it.

"He must have taken her away since he's turned off his phone!" My emotions were spiralling out of control as I looked at Atlas. He checked his wristwatch.

I glanced at my phone screen too, and realized there were still 5 minutes to nine.

At that moment, I heard a faint shout, "... Mom!"

Startled, I turned to see the tall figure of Matt at the end of the pavement, walking briskly toward us. He was holding Ava.

With just one glance, my heart settled back into place.

I quickly walked toward them, and Ava joyfully called out, "Mommy!"

She was dressed in a gorgeous new green dress, and her laughter was endearing.

"Why are you only her here now?" Even though I had finally seen Ava, I was still a little angry.

Relieved, I extended my hand to grab Ava and give her a firm embrace and kiss.

"Don't be mad at Daddy, Mommy! Daddy doesn't have a car anymore, so we took the bus! And there was traffic!" Ava explained in her sweet voice, fearing I might blame her father.

Then she shouted at Atlas, "Daddy! Daddy! Why are you both at kindergarten? Did you miss me?"

Atlas approached Ava, giving her a little pinch on her nose while grinning. "Mommy was worried you wouldn't sleep well. Were you a good girl? That's why we came here to check on you." She reached out to Atlas, saying, "Daddy, did you miss me?"

"Of course! I'm not used to you not being at home!" Atlas responded, just as she expected.

Matt looked at me, his mouth twitching. "Sorry I was late!"

Then he handed me a big bag of things, saying, "These are some things I bought for her yesterday. Take them."

Ava quickly said, "Take them home for me, Mommy. Daddy said the cute kitty should always be with me when I sleep!"

I was speechless. I had bought her many things, but she didn't treasure any of them like this.

"I want Daddy to take me inside and tell the teacher I'm late!" She said, looking at Atlas.

Atlas nodded quickly, turned, and took her inside like a devoted parent.

Ava turned to wave at Matt. She exclaimed, "Daddy! You need to keep your promise!"

Matt nodded, "I will! Definitely!"

I didn't know what secrets they had between them.

Matt looked uneasy as he glanced at me and at Atlas carrying Ava inside.
