Chapter 158

The Interrogation Atlas’s words deepened my helplessness, and I became uneasy. I looked down and realized I didn’t just like him a bit. Instead, it seemed I had fallen into his trap. I was puzzled about why he always knew my thoughts, but I knew nothing about him.

Furthermore, I couldn’t determine what Atlas meant when he said he liked me. After all, I wasn’t good.

enough for him regarding my background, status, looks, and age. I should be older than him and was a divorced woman with a four–year–old kid.

A man like Atlas could easily find a better woman, yet I always thought of him despite myself. I didn’t know what to do but knew I should stop seeing him. Otherwise, I’d end up heartbroken.

“That was why you refused to answer my call. You were trying to avoid me,” Atlas’s tone and gaze lost their warmth.

I couldn’t help but step backward and look at him. “You’re right. I wanted to stop seeing you and still do because I’m not good enough for you. Perhaps I’ve been overthinking, but guys like you can get any woman they want.

“What about me? I have nothing. I’m just a single mom who’s also older than you. I know I’ve fallen for you, but you said I can’t afford to get my heart broken again. So…” My eyes were full of tears as I looked at him.

“So?” He gazed at me with his arms crossed.

“So…I couldn’t finish my sentence as a tear rolled down my cheek.

“Say it!” He glared at me.

“So, we should stop seeing each other,” I tried to sound assertive, “You return to your world, and I return to mine. Maybe we can still be friends.”

I wasn’t even sure what I was talking about.

“And?”

I looked up with tears all over my face. I felt ashamed of myself, but I couldn’t help it.

“And… I thank you for all your help. You lent me a helping hand when I needed it most, and I’ll repay you.”

Immediately after, I turned and left.

I could no longer face him as I shouted inwardly, telling myself it was best to get it over with.

However, Atlas pulled me back before I could escape and kissed me passionately while holding the back of my head.
