Beyond the Divorce

I nestled in his arms, pouting. "I don't want to burden you too much."

"But this is a special time for us. Our little one is on the way. That makes my responsibility even heavier. I won't shy away from it. Plus, I'll support whatever decision you make."

When Atlas said that, he was serious, leaving no room for doubt.

"We've been handling the Chandler family business from start to finish, so we can't miss this final trial. It's not just about supporting Beatrice. We also need to wrap up our affairs properly. That's how we can achieve a perfect ending to this chapter." His words moved me deeply. He spoke not only to relieve my burden but also to ensure I knew about his unwavering support.

"And there's a third reason too. I've already confirmed the grand opening ceremony for Arkadia Plaza in Gerby on Saturday. We can't miss it, no matter what." His reasons were undeniably compelling.

I was overjoyed and threw myself into his arms. "I knew it. You'd never blame me. You're the best husband ever."
