Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 751

By the time I woke up, it was almost 9 a.m. I stretched my arm out, finding the space next to me empty, but the bed retained some warmth. It seemed that Atlas had been up for a while.

I shook my head, feeling a bit lazy. Staying up late was exhausting.

But there was no way around it. Matthew was like settling an old score from a past life. Perhaps I owed him something in a previous existence, and now he was coming to collect the debt.

I sighed softly, with a sense of resentment. Then I grabbed my phone and dialed Ryan.

After informing him of the situation, he said, "You should go to the hospital. I'm already at the office. Don't worry."

I lazily replied, "It's great to have you at the company. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble."

"You're just trying to butter me up," he responded impatiently.

"In that case, I'll hang up." I teased him. "Focus on your work."

"Fine, I’m hanging up." He grumbled, "That damn Matthew is causing trouble! Stupid shit."

"I agree,” I chuckled.

Ryan had already hung up.

Unexpectedly, my laughter attracted Atlas. He pushed the door open and saw me holding the phone, laughing.

He quickly walked over, scrutinizing my face. "What's going on? Why are you laughing?"

I circled my arms around his neck. "I don't want to get up. I still want to sleep."

He hugged me, kissing my forehead. "Then sleep. Get enough rest. A woman without enough sleep isn't beautiful."

"Are you saying I'm not beautiful?" I stared into his eyes deliberately. "Have you set your sights on someone else? Is that why you find me unattractive already? You can’t do that!”

He bit my nose playfully. "People talk about being cat lovers or dog lovers. I'm a you lover. Who else could I possibly be interested in?"

I giggled, all my morning grumpiness dissolving.

"I called Ryan. He said I have a talent for comforting him." I continued to laugh. "I also feel like I owe Matthew from a past life."

My words made Atlas laugh wholeheartedly. "Why do you think you owe him? Sooner or later, he'll have to pay you back. And you dare to comfort Ryan?"
