Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Sense of Belonging

Atlas made a dinner reservation as we entered the car. My heart kept pounding throughout the ride, and I

couldn’t bring myself to look at him. He pulled me closer, saying, “Call your parents and tell them you

won’t be home tonight.”

I had no strength to argue or think about anything else. I just wanted to find peace in Atlas’s arms as it

melted away all my worries and anxieties. Soon, we returned to the resort. I felt a sense of belonging, like

this was our home.

His previous question still entranced me. “Do you want to stay here or go home?”

I wondered if this place could be our home.

After dinner, he didn’t hesitate to hold and shower me with kisses. I felt like crying then because I had

I looked at him forlornly. “I’m a divorcee. How could I demand or hope for anything? All that matters is

that you’re doing well.”

“Is that how you really feel?” he growled.

I understood what he asked but didn’t know how to respond. Since I remained silent, he pressed me closer to vent his frustrations. It made me wonder if he was just concerned about me. It seemed like it would be a sleepless night for me.

I pondered the uncertain nature of our relationship. Stella told me they had an arranged marriage. But

even without Stella, wasn’t he still bound by constraints?

The following day, I rode in his car to the office. He seemed to be in high spirits. The drive was leisurely

and unhurried as well, I was delighted to see him so content. I thought maybe I could stop overthinking

things, but little did I know that reality was about to shatter my illusions.

Trouble was on the horizon
