Beyond the Divorce

"Hey, cousin. Finally, I get to see you."

His words left me stunned. Cousin?

Seeing my expression freeze, he gently added, "Let's talk alone after dinner."

I quickly glanced at Ernest sitting opposite me and regained my composure.

His eager invitation left me feeling disoriented throughout the entire meal.

After finishing our meal, I pulled Atlas aside and told him about Atticus's situation, mentioning that Atticus was eager to see him while everyone was engrossed in conversation. After pondering for a moment, he said to me, "I'll find an excuse to leave in a while. You can inform him to come to Pleca Park, and I'll have Jim pick him up."

"Pleca Park?" I was surprised.

"Yes, I can leave through the secret passage and return to Pleca Park. It's the most convenient way. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll inform Atticus," I said. I took out my phone to call Atticus, but I found that his phone was switched off.

I shrugged at Atlas, feeling a bit helpless. "His phone is off. Maybe it's out of battery. He just returned to Foswood today."

Atlas's eyes darkened. He was lost in thought, pacing back and forth.
