Beyond The Divorce - Season 8 Episode 65

I still couldn’t bring myself to speak. I didn’t want to see him, the towering figure that attracted everyone’s attention, be cautious around me.

I took a deep breath before nodding firmly. “Okay. Let’s get married. Let’s start a family and have a bunch of kids!”

He pulled me into a tight embrace. “Chlo, having you is what makes a home.”

We both pledged never to be apart. As we left the office, I realized everyone else had already left for the day. Blushing, I smiled, and he laughed while holding me in his arms.

We planned to go home together, but my phone rang. It was Ivanna, who had been missing for days.

I hesitated for a moment before quickly answering.

“Where have you been?” I scolded.

“I’ve been holding the fort in Bourdamun for you,” Ivanna said loudly. “But now I’m with Lauren. Why did you disappear after picking her up from the hospital?”

As Ivanna spoke, I felt a sense of panic. I had completely forgotten about the dinner plans with Lauren tonight.

I hurriedly said into the phone, ‘I’ll be there right away!”

Then I hung up and looked at Atlas, who had been waiting in front of the car. “I completely forgot. Lauren is getting discharged today, and we had plans to have dinner together. But-

Atlas rubbed my head and chuckled. “Well, ask if they’ve already eaten. If not, invite them out, and we’ll make other arrangements.”

I quickly dialed back, and the response was that they were waiting for dinner.

I had to end the call and inform Atlas they were ready to eat.

With a smile, Atlas took my hand. “Let’s go!”

I was a bit dumbfounded. Did he mean… he also wanted to go?

This left me somewhat speechless, but as if reading my mind, Atlas pulled me along. “Hurry up and get in the car. Jared is also there.”

I couldn’t believe my ears. “How do you know Jared is there?”

Atlas gave me a disdainful glance. ‘It seems you don’t care about your friends. Your friends and Jared have been in Bourdamun.”

I was instantly dumbfounded. I had no idea that Ivanna was with Jared.

I had been too busy lately and hadn’t paid attention to these two. It seems like they had been in a cold war for a while.

With a head full of doubts, I returned to Amethyst Apartments. It had been a while since I was last here. When I knocked on Lauren’s door, I saw Jared inside. Atlas and I exchanged glances and shared a smile. Lauren teased, “What’s the matter? Why are you two so happy? You’re exchanging glances like lovebirds.” My smile deepened unintentionally, and I secretly gestured inside. Lauren smiled knowingly.

Ivanna called out, “Is it them? Let’s eat! Jared, come and help me!”

Jared immediately got up and walked toward the kitchen, obediently following Ivanna’s instructions. It seemed like he was very well-behaved and responsive.

I couldn’t help but be surprised. Were these two already in sync?

Seeing my expression, Lauren smiled, saying, “They’re super sweet.”

Lauren ushered us in as we got into the living room. “Go wash your hands. We’re about to have dinner.”

Then, she went into the dining room to help set the table.

Atlas and I went to the bathroom to wash our hands. We saw Jared holding a large plate of crabs when we came out. Behind him was Ivanna, carrying a plate of various seafood.

They looked like a married couple.

A few dishes were on the table, including meat and vegetables. They looked pretty good.

As I wiped my hands, I walked to the dining table and asked, “Did Ivanna cook this? Not bad. It looks like you’ve been living the good life.”

Ivanna blushed, glancing at Atlas.

“It’s not like you two aren’t together! I knew you’ve been together, so I didn’t specifically remind Lauren to call Mr. Atlas.”

“Mr. Atlas, Mr. Atlas. That name sounds so unfamiliar,” I mocked.
