Chapter 230
Beyond the Divorce
What a Coincidence Isaw a black Maybach pulling up at the entrance. A tall and wellâbuilt figure appeared. He was charming In his black trousers and black shirt with two undone buttons. The man had meticulously groomed jet- black hair and wore sunglasses.
He drew the crowdâs attention when he removed his sunglasses. Soon after, he opened the car door and assisted an elegantly dressed woman. Her attire seemed exaggerated, with sunglasses, a scarf, and a mask.
However, the figure was alluring, and I knew she wasnât Stella. She gracefully exited the car and wrapped her arm around the manâs arm. She appeared delicate and charming.
I recognized Atlas but not the woman. My heart ached, and I realized why he sounded so impatient earlier. It seemed he didnât want me to waste time worrying about his whereabouts because he was busy pampering and accompanying that woman.
Although Atlas sounded irritated earlier, he was now smiling. I stared at him and the woman in a daze as they strolled into the clubhouse.
My heart was in my throat while my hands and feet grew cold. I felt numb and didnât know how long I sat in my car. Suddenly, my phone rang and brought me to my senses. I glanced at my phone and realized Lauren had likely grown impatient from waiting. 1 âIâm at the entrance. Iâll come in soon,â I said before hanging up.
Since the clubhouse was close to Pleca Park, Atlas intentionally chose to come here. I chuckled bitterly and became a little tearyâeyed. It was ironic.
As I was about to exit my car, Ivanna knocked on the window. I quickly opened the door, got out, and joked, âYouâre fast. What, did you fly here?â
âFast? Iâve been driving for thirty minutes!â she exclaimed, âWhy do you look like shit?â
I tried to hide it, touching my face. âDo I? I fell asleep just now.â
âI canât wait for Lauren to scold you.â Ivanna held my arm as we entered the clubhouse. She blabbed about the rising star under her care, but I heard nothing because my mind was too occupied.
Sure enough, Lauren scolded me as soon as we met. I only chuckled without defending myself.
The clubhouse was spacious. After having some light snacks, we changed into disposable bathsuits and headed to the hot springs in the courtyard. Surprisingly, the disposable bath suits were elegant and high-
quality no wonder the upper class liked coming here.
I looked around but didnât see Atlas and the mysterious woman. Lauren noticed my restless gaze and asked, âWho are you looking for? Did you see someone you know?â
I shook my head. âNo, Iâm just admiring the scenery here. I should bring my parents and Ava here someday.â
âThatâs a great idea. Whenever you come, count me in!â Ivanna added, âThis place is lovely. There are so many hot spring pools here, and they offer various services, too. We only have a regular room.
âThe VIP rooms come with private pools; what people do in those rooms is beyond our knowledge, Ivanna grinned.
However, it caused my heart to drop, thinking Atlas had probably booked a VIP room. What else would a man and woman do in a private room? The thought of it made me uncomfortable.
