Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 990

Michelle held onto my arm and wouldn't let go, pressing herself against me.

"Let go of me! If you have something to say, just say it" I impatiently pulled my arm away.

Her clinging annoyed me, and I had to compromise. "Alright, I'll tell you when I’m free!"

When Michelle saw me relenting, she quickly grabbed me again, cautiously asking, "How about today?"

I pulled my arm away again. "I have plans today."

"No? What about tomorrow? Tomorrow, it is!" She seized the opportunity and refused to let go.

I glanced at her, wanting to break free as soon as possible. I had had enough of her antics.

"Fine!" I said reluctantly.

But as soon as the word left my mouth, I almost bit off my tongue.

I just wanted to get her away from me. When Michelle heard me agree, she happily exclaimed, "You're the best! I’m glad we were classmates!"

I cursed her in my heart. ‘How shameless!’

"I'm leaving now!" I finished speaking and walked toward the exit, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

Behind me, Michelle shouted, "You'd better bring Atlas with you tomorrow, Chloe! We want to meet both of you!"

Her shout caught the attention of those leaving work, and they all looked at her in surprise.

I walked quickly toward the exit, thinking, forget about it! Atlas wasn’t someone you could just meet whenever you wanted.

Back at Fremont Bay, I was surprised to see my dad sitting in the living room as I hadn't seen him there in a long time.

He was waiting for me.

When he saw me come in, he stood up and smiled. "I’m done with work!"

I sat beside him and said, "Why aren't you working today?"

He said, "We finished early today. There wasn’t much to do. The new plants haven't arrived yet. You finished work early, too. Where's Atlas?"
