Chapter 300

Strong Intuition Ivanna looked at me in confusion and nervousness. “Why? Is someone forcing you?”

“N–No, it’s not that!” I shook my head and explained, “For some reason, I feel there’s an inexplicable force pushing me. It’s not just about Atlas’s love.”

Ivanna stared at me, still not wholly understanding my words.

“I wanted to escape many times. I know I don’t deserve Atlas. Anyone would think I’m delusional for even considering being with him. Still, I always feel like there’s a prevailing connection between us, and it keeps getting stronger.”

I spoke solemnly to Ivanna, “I’ve had that thought for a while but always doubted myself. That inexplicable force pushes and pulls me whenever something related to Atlas arises.

Ivanna chuckled, “Did you fall too deeply into this? Is that it?”

I looked at her with severity and asked, “Do you think I’m trying to justify being with him?”

Ivanna hesitated before nodding. “A little.”

“No, I even feel like he has appeared in my life before,” I surprised myself with that statement, “But I can’t find any evidence to confirm it. Oh, you know that I’m very much like Harmony, right? Still, someone else is even more similar to me than her.”

I told Ivanna about Annalise immediately after, and Ivana looked at me in disbelief. “You found pictures of Annalist that look like you?”

“I did, and it’s more than just a resemblance. It’s like we share the same soul. I told you I have missing pieces of my memories, right?” I shared my doubts with Ivanna.

“Memories?” Ivanna looked at me in shock. “You’ve mentioned it before, but could it be true?”

“You didn’t believe me when I told you, but I have an old injury I don’t recall. I asked my mom, but she was pretty elusive about it. It’s unsettling.” I was dissatisfied with my mom’s response to my questions.

Ivanna remained silent until she finally said, “I can’t imagine this. Is it possible?”

That’s why I’ve always felt a strange connection between me and Atlas,” I told her unequivocally.

After a long pause, she patted me on the shoulder. “Let’s just try our best. It’s okay as long as you don’t have regrets. Oh, any news from Matthew’s side?”

ishook my head. “No his son should be almost a month old now.”

“Let’s hope he stops bothering you now that he has a son!” Ivanna exclaimed, sounding somewhat relieved. “I wish I had the chance to teach that scoundrel a lesson.”

Suddenly, Ava stopped and blinked her big eyes at us, saying sternly, “I don’t want that bad daddy anymore! He and Aunt Melanie are evil! I’ll protect Mommy and beat up that bad aunt when I grow up!”

i exchanged a glance with Ivanna. We didn’t expect her to eavesdrop while she was playing. Ivanna got up and sat next to Ava on the ground. “My little angel is right. They are bad people! Let’s stay strong and not take their nonsense!”

I joined them, sitting down and playing the game with them. Ava laughed heartily, looking more beautiful than ever.

We played late into the night. Ava’s eyes grew heavy when we left, and I had to carry her. My daughter had indeed grown a lot without me realizing it. Suddenly, I thought about how Atlas would have taken her from my arms.

I wondered where he was now and if he was okay. I couldn’t figure out why Atlas had gone silent after his accident. We couldn’t find any trace of him, even when I sent Grayson to search every hospital.

However, I confronted Celine outside the emergency room that day. No one else could have been inside besides Atlas. I made a daring assumption. If it wasn’t Atlas, who could it be?
