Beyond the Divorce



Owed Him in My Past Life

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.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

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."

Ilazily 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 moming 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?"

Suddenly, the phone rang again. I quickly answered, and it was Adrian. He urgently said, "Ms. Chloe, come to the hospital quickly. Matthew woke up, and he's very agitated."

"I can't believe this. "I couldn't hold back, swearing under my breath. 'Is he a child? Tell him to wait quietly, or he won't see me. I don't owe him anything."

I purposely spoke loudly because I heard someone yelling in the background.

Then I hung up and got out of bed. My good mood from the early morning was completely gone, disrupted by this guy.

After washing up, I changed into a dress and went downstairs.

By the time I came downstairs, Atlas had already set the breakfast table.

'Eat breakfast before we go," he said coolly, his tone unquestionable.

I didn't dare to argue. I walked to the table and looked at the spread. The breakfast was indeed rich, and he got it from Al Dente. It seemed that Atlas had gotten up early to buy breakfast for me. I had no reason not to enjoy it.

I sat down and leisurely began to eat breakfast. It was delicious, especially since it was from Al Dente. But most importantly, my lover had bought it for me.

I couldn't let Atlas's affection go to waste.

Seeing me in this state, Atlas was satisfied, constantly putting delicious bites into my bowl. He told me, "Take your time. I'll accompany you later."

"You're going too?" I was skeptical. "Aren't you going to the company?"

"Yeah. I don't feel at ease if you go alone."

"Hmph." I snorted. "You're worried about my overflowing kindness. But how could that be?"

He glanced at me and didn't say anything, but it was clear that he wouldn't change his mind. Oh well. If we went together, I wouldn't worry about Matthew dragging me down. With Atlas present, he wouldn't dare,

When I was full and let out a satisfied burp, I put down my cutlery and held my mouth. "I'm full and a bit sleepy again."

Then go upstairs for a nap before we go. Let him wait," Atlas said lightly.

His nonchalance made me burst into laughter. "You're cunning. Forget it. The main thing is that I need to digest this food. Let's go to the hospital now."

Atlas also stood up with a smile and placed the dishes in the sink. He stayed by my side as we headed straight to the hospital.
