Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1036

My heart raced and my face flushed at his words. Damn it! He was flirting.

He effortlessly carried me while he ran, his incredibly handsome face showing a hint of sweat. But still, his breathing was calm, regular, and not erratic in the slightest.

His demeanor fascinated me. When he held me, the muscles in his upper arm bulged, exuding a powerful feeling that sent me into a reverie. I couldn't resist pinching him, intoxicated by his strength.

He glanced at me, lifted me, and kissed me.

He didn't set me down until we got to the main road that led to the main building. He grinned mischievously and said, "There you go. Isn’t your husband great? Now you know why he lasts so long in 'battle'."

"Get lost! You’re always telling dirty jokes!" I gave him a fierce punch and blushed, running toward the main building.

I quickly had breakfast after a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and took care of Jenny. I was planning to head to the kindergarten with Jenny in tow.

Atlas checked the time. "It's only eight o'clock. Are you sure you want to go so early?"

"Yes, I'm sure," I answered decisively. I had worried all night, and I was going crazy without Ava.

I could usually go a day or two without seeing her, but this was different. Matt had told me yesterday that he was leaving Foswood, and I hadn’t even asked where he was going. If he took Ava away, I wouldn’t be able to do a thing.

When Atlas saw me being so persistent, he said, "Wait a moment. I'll go with you."

After saying that, he went upstairs to change.

Grandma Rose happened to come downstairs. When she saw me already dressed, she asked in surprise, "Why are you up so early?"

"I... I want to go to the kindergarten and check on Ava. I'm worried about her." I knew I seemed paranoid.

Grandma Rose smiled helplessly, "Oh, you’re being overly cautious. He’s Ava's father. Besides, no matter how foolish he is, he wouldn't do anything to harm the child!"

"You don't understand him. In the past, he would do anything. He wouldn't have ended up this way otherwise," I argued. "I don’t trust him anymore."
