Beyond the Divorce

Just as I stepped out of the restroom, I saw Stella entering the dining room, walking toward Atlas.

It wasn't surprising; after all, on the surface, Stella was Atlas's cousin.

I hesitated for a moment, then confidently returned to my seat, not avoiding her in the slightest.

"Ms. Stella, you're up early." This time, I initiated the conversation, smiling contentedly.

She glanced at me and returned the smile, "Yes, getting off the ship is quite exciting. It's been a long time and I'm feeling a bit fed up."

Hearing her words, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I looked at her and asked, "You had enough fun?"

She seemed to sense the hidden meaning in my words. Then she cast a glance at Atlas, who was engrossed in his meal and paid her no attention.

On the other side, Jared remained indifferent.

Stella didn't respond to my implication and just smiled.

After finishing his meal, Atlas looked at me, "Do you want anything else to eat?"

"No, I'm full." I looked at him, "Let's go back to the room. I want to sleep a bit more."
