Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 77 A Shameless Request I lay in bed and eventually fell asleep.

My nightmare consisted of Matthew and Melanie tormenting Ava and me.

I woke up crying but could not release my suppressed anger and frustration.

The chirps of birds and the morning sun gradually calmed my racing heart.

When I got dressed and went downstairs, I realized I hadn’t appreciated this place’s breathtaking beauty.

I knew I shouldn’t miss such a magnificent view.

It was already dawn when Atlas found me.

He observed my face with concern and asked, “Did you sleep well?” I smiled.

“I slept wonderfully! Thank you.” “Here we go again with the unnecessary thanks,” he said, taking my hand.

“Are you hungry? Let’s have breakfast.” Breakfast at this place was sumptuous, and I enjoyed it.

I needed all the energy I could get to face what lay ahead.

On our way back, Atlas reminded me, “Take care of yourself and don’t be too stubborn.” I was unsure what he meant by “stubborn,” but I did not inquire further.

It was my first time being out overnight with my phone off while Matthew was home.
