Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1223

Atlas gave me a quick kiss, then said reassuringly, "Don't worry too much. He doesn't stand a chance. He'll have no way back if he challenges my bottom line. For now, let's focus on rescuing Dad. I'll deal with him slowly."

"Denton had been lying low all this time. When I saw him that day, he appeared calm, but his eyes said something else.”

I never forgot the scene when I first saw him in Bourdamun.

Then, I continued, "I feel it's not that simple. So, you need to be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder, my dear wife."

He grinned mischievously at me and nibbled my lips.

I cautioned Atlas, "He must know about our relationship. We might be able to keep it from the public, but not from someone determined to find out. He's reckless despite knowing, which means revenge is just a decoy. He must have another motive."

"Smart thinking," Atlas said. "Once we thoroughly investigate, you can relax. Hmm?"

I signaled for Atlas to let go, but he carried me into the bathroom. "Let's take a bath and relax, " he said.

After he set me down and filled the tub, I couldn't resist its allure. I sank into the warm water, and soon, all the tension from the day melted away. He had already brought my pajamas, and I beckoned him over.

"You're coming in too!"

He couldn't resist my invitation. With a gleam in his eyes, he swiftly undressed and joined me in the tub.

Water splashed everywhere as we playfully wrestled. It was a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere from earlier. That bath was wild, and I didn't even remember how I ended up back in bed.

The next day, the sunrise painted the sky with vibrant hues, and the sounds of birds filled the air.

Turning over, I found the bed empty and cold.

I quickly opened my eyes and looked around, only to find that Atlas was nowhere to be seen. Feeling a pang of disappointment, I hurried downstairs after freshening up.

A delicious-looking breakfast awaited on the table, but I didn't have time to eat and rushed out.

A guard stood at the door. Seeing me, he respectfully said, "Mrs. Chloe, good morning. Mr. Atlas asks you to have breakfast before going anywhere."

"I'll go check on them first. I'll eat when I come back." I gestured toward where Arnold and the others were staying.

They were leaving for Foswood today, and I needed to see when they were departing.
