Chapter 371

Clarity Harmony saw me laughing and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing because you’re too self–absorbed. I suggest you pay attention to others for a change. As for the rooftop incident, I wouldn’t dwell on it.

“The press conference made things pretty clear. You should read those reports if you don’t understand.

As for my feelings for Atlas, I just have one question for you. How does Atlas treat you?”

I intentionally asked this question, knowing Harmony would think I was prying into her lif life.

Sure enough, her eyes narrowed. “That is between me and him. I’m asking about your thoughts, so don’t deflect the conversation.”

I studied her, feeling some regret. How could such a lovely face be paired with such a closed–off mind?

“You’re always seeking my opinion and information. It shows a lack of confidence on your part.”

I used provocative language because this dimwit couldn’t resist a challenge.

“What confidence do I lack? I mean, let’s be real. The online haters have a point. Can you honestly picture I yourself with Atlas?”

Harmony was nervous but eager to put me down.

“It depends on the competition. If he’s into someone like you, it shows his taste isn’t that great,” I replied.

So why shouldn’t I get a shot? Just because I have a history and a daughter?”

“Have some self–awareness, Chloe,” she said disdainfully. Who are you to even ask me? Saving me doesn’t make me obligated to be nice to you.”

“Don’t assume that I’m done just because I saved you. Look, I would’ve done the same for anyone. I asked you that because only then can I respond to your question.”

She grew irritated and said, “Don’t dodge my question. What’s that got to do with anything I asked?”

Her attitude made me smile again.

“Of course it’s related. If Atlas is serious about you, you don’t need to worry about how I feel,” I pointed out. “He won’t care about my existence if he’s completely focused on you.”

Harmony looked at me without rebutting.

“But if he’s just playing around with you and keeping things superficial, then he could be interested in My words made Harmony uneasy.

“If you truly like him, you shouldn’t concern yourself with how others feel about him. Can you manage that? I glanced at her. “With a guy like him, women will always flock to him left and right. I’m not the only one.

So, focus on your own chase.”

I never wanted to hold back with Harmony. Her head had to be filled with nonsense.

“Besides, Atlas is already by your side. You should use every trick in your book to keep him rather than wasting your energy on others.”

I genuinely admire myself. Somehow, I had gained such clarity.

“So, quit coming to me with these silly questions. Whether I’m interested in him is none of your business. I don’t think either of us has any real influence over him.”

I felt like I’d gained some profound Insight. My words were a way of reasoning with Harmony, but they also clarified my thoughts.

Harmony was always looking for answers, which showed that Atlas’s feelings for her were more complicated than they appeared. Harmony struggled to understand this, prompting her to seek answers.

Like her, I always wanted to understand Atlas’s feelings toward Annalise.

“But why do people say that you keep pestering Atlas?”

“Did you see me pestering him?” I asked her seriously.

My question left Harmony speechless. At the same time, I questioned why I should let go.
