My dad nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll go along with your decision."
Atlas smiled reassuringly, sensing that something was bothering me.
"You look tired. Why don't you go upstairs, take a shower, and rest for a bit? We can have dinner together."
I gave him an admiring look, then stood up and asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"
Atlas quickly said, "Dad, I'll go upstairs with Chlo."
Hearing him casually call my father "Dad" always left me feeling strange.
This guy had mastered the art of humility.
He followed me, and as we returned to the room, he asked, "Why do you look so unhappy?"
I briefly explained the current situation to him. With a bitter expression, I said, "I can't get any leverage on Liora, and that's bothering me."
Atlas pressed me onto the bed and kissed me. "Is that what's troubling you? The more challenging the situation, the better."
I looked at him, perplexed. "Why?"
He nibbled on my lip and then looked at me, saying, "People tend to reveal their flaws when they are self-satisfied. Don't be anxious, and stay calm."
I rolled my eyes but considered his words, which made sense.
I said, "I'm afraid she'll slip away."
"You mean run off? Where would she go? If she makes a move, she'll get caught. Don't you understand that?" He confidently asked.
"But I can't find any solid evidence against them. I can't take action," I said, feeling helpless. "This dragging on is frustrating!"
After saying that, he lifted me and headed straight for the bathroom. I screamed, realizing something was off.
Trying to lower my voice, I scolded him, "Atlas, you're so annoying! Ava will be back soon. What are you doing?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"I'm exercising!" He had me pinned down in seconds, wasting no time.
He never adhered to the rules in this matter. He promised just once, but he always stretched it infinitely.
I was furious, as I had planned to catch up on sleep but was interrupted. After the shower, he insisted on following me downstairs. It was really annoying.
This situation made me feel somewhat guilty, and it was clear that we had done something inappropriate.
