Chapter 472 A Slap on the face
Beyond the Divorce
A Slap on the Face Atlasâs face darkened as he looked at her.
âMr. Atlas... H-Howâd you end up here?â Harmonyâs voice was trembling, her gaze unsteady as she looked at Atlas. She balled her hands into tight fists.
âMs. Harmony, please tell me why I shouldnât be here." Atlasâs words cut through the tension as he took a seat beside me.
His face looked unusually somber.
âAnswer me. When did I agree to be your boyfriend? Did I do something that made you misunderstand?â âI... She...â Harmony stammered, her words disjointed.
RR YW Her face shifted between oe fear.
âYou tried to bind me, spreading rumors that I'm your boyfriend and confusing my family. I've been patient, but it seems youâve overstepped.â Atlasâs thin lips were pressed together, his gaze sharp.
âBut s-sheâs...â Harmonyâs words were faltering.
âShe looks like you? I donât see it.â Atlas lowered his gaze, pulling me into his embrace.
âDoes my woman need to rely on someone elseâs power?â Atlas clasped my hand in his, his eyes cold. "Do you even compare to her? We never wanted to go public because we preferred a quiet life. But now youâve come to provoke us. â
WL] fet bP âWho gave you the courage to \ humiliate my soon-to-be wife? Itâs already immoral of you to spread rumors about me being your boyfriend, and now you show up here to provoke me. Do I need to call the police, or will you see yourself out?â Atlas' words were bitter and intimidating, with no room for debate.
Harmony was still unsatisfied. âS-She jsiet âChloe is my fiancee! So, please respect yourself. Stop spreading your delusions everywhere.â Atlas showed no mercy. âApologize! Then leave!â Harmony turned pale. She bit her lip hard, and her expression was a mix of resentment and acceptance.
Atlas fell silent, his gaze unwavering.
Harmony took a timid step back, her eyes watery. âWhy her? How can she be your fiancee?â âApologize!â Atlas reiterated.
«1-1'm sorry! I'm sorry to have disturbed you!â With that, Harmony turned and rushed out.
As the door slammed shut, I looked at Atlas. He looked at me in his arms, his face softening.
âWhy?â I gazed into his eyes. âWhy did you say that?â âAre you not happy with it?â He smirked. âJealous, are you?â
âIâm not!â I was flustered. âFianceeâ felt overwhelming. Even though I longed for it, I didnât dare assume it.
âHow do I make it official, then? Do we need a ceremony?â âI haven't... Wellâ" Before I could continue, he kissed me again. While cradling me in his arms, he led me upstairs.
In the bedroom, I nestled in his embrace and drifted into a sweet slumber.
I slept through until late morning.
When I woke up, I turned around and was pulled into a tighter embrace. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, feeling a surreal sense of reality.
The scene from last night, with Harmony storming out of my house, was still vivid. = Before I could turn around to verify it was real, he was already hugging me from behind.
