Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1409 Waiting for Your Return
After saying what needed to be said, Atlas held my hand and we left my father's room as he watched us leave.After we changed our clothes, my mom stood at the door to see us off. She seemed hesitant, which made me feel a pang of sadness.I knew she must have been reluctant for me to leave for Nocturnia. I went to hug her. "I'm leaving the house and Ava to you, Mom. I'll be back as soon as possible."Her head rested against my chest as she nodded. "Be safe and don't worry about us. I’ll be here to take care of everything.”Her words touched me deeply and resonated with me."Alright. Take care, Mom. I'm leaving now." After saying that, I let go of her. "I'll be back soon."We got into the car and left the villa for the airport.On the way there, I called Ryan’s parents to ask them to come to Foswood as soon as possible to help Ryan prepare for the wedding. The news made his parents ecstatic, and even I was infected by their excitement.When we arrived at the airport, we went st
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1410 The Boss's Dry Humor
He sensed my hesitation and gently patted my hand, saying, "That was exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. No matter his attitude, you need to remember that you’re the future female head of the Pierce family."His words moved me deeply."And the Pierce family now is not the same as the Pierce family back then. He is my grandfather, but he's just an old man with blood ties to me. My respect for him is limited to that of an elder."Atlas said that with a serious tone, showing that he was sincere.He continued, "Besides, he has no special privilege or authority over me. He has no right to influence any of my decisions. So, you don't need to care about his attitude."I really hadn’t expected Atlas to say that about his grandfather.He lifted me up, saying, "Let's have dinner. The food on our plane is pretty good. You should try it. Maybe you'll feel like sleeping after eating.""True." I laughed, teasing him. "As the lady boss, I can fire anyone if they don't do their job well
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1411 Eerie Dreamscape
As I reached the doorway, someone opened the door for me, and I stepped inside.The house was grand. It gleamed white like something out of a fairy tale palace. The landscaping in the courtyard was beautifully manicured, with a veranda at one end and a white swing gently swaying in the breeze.I could almost see a girl in a red dress sitting on it, her laughter echoing in the courtyard, while a handsome boy pushed her higher on the swing. She soared like a bird, high into the air.The boy was handsome, exuding an aura of elegance.The girl excitedly shouted, "Higher. Can you make me go higher?"As I turned around, I saw a gentle woman sitting on the veranda, watching us from afar.I heard the girl's voice ring out, "Mommy, am I high enough?"She just smiled, not saying a word.The woman got up to leave, and I quickly looked away from the swing, hurrying to catch up. I felt a genuine fondness for her.She was just ahead of me, heading toward the villa's greenhouse. It was a lar

I felt a dull ache in my head, causing me to toss and turn uncomfortably. It was as if I feared the wax might drip onto my hands.In a haze, I murmured, "Mommy, does it hurt?"She said something, and her voice echoed persistently in my ears.A warm hand gently clasped mine, guiding me through winding paths, past a towering tree surrounded by vibrant flowers, until we reached a small tree."What kind of tree is this, Mommy?" I looked up at the short tree."An almond eucalyptus tree. It’s the tallest tree, do you remember?" Holding a package, she began to dig into the soil under the tree.My head throbbed. I tossed and turned in bed."Chlo, wake up." A gentle voice called out to me.I mumbled, trying to open my eyes, but I couldn’t."Chlo... wake up."The voice grew clearer.Yet, my mother's voice continued to echo, "It's the tallest tree. Remember this, okay?""Chlo, wake up." I felt a large hand gently tapping my cheeks.Startled, I abruptly opened my eyes.My head was po
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1413 The Forgetful Nanny
The car sped through the streets, and I had no idea where we were heading. But with Atlas by my side, I felt reassured. As long as he was with me, I wasn't afraid, even if we were at the ends of the earth.After about 40 minutes, the car stopped in front of a house, and we all got out.The warm air here was no different from Foswood, making me feel at ease. If it weren't for the different house and garden, I would have thought we were back at Pleca Park.Atlas held my hand as we walked in.An elderly woman came out to greet us, exclaiming, "Mr. Atlas, you're finally back!”The woman welcomed him with open arms, and he strode over and embraced her while I stood by, feeling a bit awkward.The old lady seemed ecstatic, patting his back and tearing up. "It's been so long since I've seen you."Atlas didn't rush to pull away from her embrace, letting her pat his back. It was clear they shared a special bond, and the old lady had deep affection for Atlas.Finally, Atlas stood up and s
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1414 The Familiar Taste
I knew Atlas seemed cold on the outside, but deep down, he was warm-hearted. He cherished family above all else.Perhaps family love was something scarce in his life. In the Pierce family, it was practically non-existent, which explained his distant attitude toward his grandfather.All they showed toward their kin was indifference and cruelty.As I looked at the elderly woman before me, I softly called out, "Sandy."She instantly broke down, embracing me once again. "Ms. Stella, you've grown up so much! I’m so happy that I get to see you again.”I felt choked up too, and I was deeply regretting not remembering anything. I hated not understanding her significance in my life.Atlas quickly pulled me away, telling the nanny, "You say you're not old? You cry at the drop of a hat. That's a sign of ageing."Sandy chuckled at his words. "You just want me to get old, don’t you?”"You still have kids to take care of, so don't make her cry. She's pregnant now.” Atlas sounded somewhat smu
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1415 The Old Family Home
Atlas escorted me back to the master bedroom upstairs while softly saying, "Though it's not our original home, this is my own place. Welcome home, honey.”Honestly, I was deeply touched like never before at that moment.I belonged here, yet I hadn’t been around for so many years. Now, I had finally returned, and I was determined to reclaim what was rightfully mine.For some reason, I was really looking forward to seeing Celine again tomorrow.Atlas stayed with me as I finished washing up, and we fell asleep in each other's arms. I felt no sense of unfamiliarity here at all.The next day, as I woke up, the sound of gentle rain greeted my ears.I touched the space beside me, finding it empty and the bed already cold.When did he leave? I had slept so deeply that I had no idea.After getting up and freshening up, I changed into a comfortable long dress I had brought with me and walked out of the room quietly.We had arrived too late last night to see the surroundings clearly, but
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1416 The Most Handsome Man in the World
"Mr. David sold this place after Mrs. Nancy passed away, but the buyer went bankrupt. These two courtyards were abandoned for many years, and rumors started spreading about ghosts haunting the place. But..." Sandy shrugged.Then, she continued, "Mr. Atlas doesn't believe in that nonsense, so he bought them all back.""Why would people say that?" I asked."Well, some malicious people wanted to stir up trouble, but it was all for the best. The properties eventually returned to Mr. Atlas's hands despite being abandoned for over a decade," Sandy looked proud."He's not afraid of anything supernatural. This was his grandmother's property, after all. What's there to be afraid of?" She laughed contentedly."After Mr. Atlas took over, he renovated the place. These courtyards are quite spacious. When the weather clears up, I'll show you around. It's beautiful here. “Mr. Atlas used to bring you here when you two were younger. Afterward, Mr. Atlas found me and asked me to look after this p
