Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 What Are We?

The words were tantalizing, but who did he spend time with today? The thought made me chuckle bitterly.

What right did I have to interfere with his choice of company? How often had I been oblivious to that?

How could I possibly know?

“Why are you laughing?” His patience was wearing thin.

“Enough, Mr. Atlas. I wouldn’t dare ask you to keep me company.” I pouted. “A mere commoner like

myself wouldn’t dare!”

Truly, I wouldn’t dare. He wasn’t mine to claim, and I had to give myself a reality check. I was recently

divorced and involved in legal disputes.

What right did I have to compete with anyone? Thinking about our relationship left me even more

perplexed. Who was I to him?

Still, seeing him with another woman caused me unexpected pain.

Did my feelings grow too fast? Had I rushed from one chapter of my life into the next? I felt heartless.

Atlas asked, “Why the sudden silence?”

“What would be appropriate for us to talk about?” I asked softly, looking at him.

“Ask whatever you want!”

I shrugged, flashing a smile. “I have nothing to ask!”

Deep down, I believed I had no right to ask. It would only invite unnecessary trouble.

He had already figured out what I was thinking. “Your pride is too high! You’re overthinking. That girl is my

cousin!”

“I didn’t want to know. That’s your business! I have no right to intrude,” I said, feeling a weight lift off my

shoulders.

That woman’s gaze still bothered me. Why did she look so curious when we were strangers? It was as if

I was at a loss. What did it all mean?

“It’s nothing. I’m… tired! I’d like to go back.”

His gaze peered into my soul, and I said, “Don’t look at me like I’m a criminal.”

Atlas grinned, then leaned down to peck me on the lips. “Say what you’re thinking next time. Don’t

torment yourself.”

I stood there, stunned. Seeing my subdued mood, he said, “If you want to go home, I’ll take you.”

His offer to drive me home surprised me. Why did I feel reluctant? I quickly stood up, feigning ant

eagerness to get home. 1

Now that things were clear, I was pleased. After all, she was just his cousin. However, this cousin had opened up a whole new understanding of Atlas for me.
