Atlas looked at my stubborn expression and finally replaced it with a smile, affectionately saying, "You get to decide. I’ll respect your decisions."
"Well, it depends on the nature of the matter. If I make a mistake, you should still make things clear to me. I'm not unreasonable, and I don't want you to just indulge me. What if my decision turns out to be wrong?"
He teased, "You realize I do indulge you, right?"
I gave him a stern look, "I’m being serious, Atlas. Stop fooling around. I'm not blind to your kindness."
He immediately dropped the playful expression, adopting a serious tone, but there was still a hint of indulgence in his eyes. "Your opinion is always right. Even if it's wrong, we'll go along with it. We can always start over."
"But some things can't be started over," I stubbornly insisted.
He smiled and hugged me, saying tenderly, "You're so smart. You’re always thinking about the bigger picture and striving for good. What harm can come from a little mistake?"
I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but say, "You're right. I'm practically a beacon of justice."
"That's true. I've seen you grow up since you were little," Atlas said proudly.
I retorted, "You're younger than me. Let's be realistic here."
"Am I younger?" he asked with a mischievous grin, leaning down. I quickly laughed and evaded him.
Suddenly, I realized that the car had arrived at my company for a while, and I hadn't even noticed.
He gently touched my face, saying tenderly, "You go upstairs. I'll pick you up after work. We'll go home early today to spend time with Ava."
"Okay!" I smiled knowingly and took the initiative to peck him on the lips. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, I quickly opened the car door and got out. "I'll head upstairs now."
He looked at me, rolling his eyes fondly.
