Chapter 710
I smiled and declined, “No, I’ve got things to attend to. I’m in a bit of a rush.”
I didn’t have time to engage in a battle with her. Many people were waiting for me back home, and she was not worth my time. I also don’t see the need to have a conversation with her. It was best to keep words brief.
She smirked mysteriously. “Do you really not want to know why Liora embarrassed herself at the party?”
I looked at her indifferently and replied, “I’m not interested. Embarrassment is just inevitable when you have a devious mind.”
She always played these games with me. It was not my cup of tea.
Stella did not want to linger once she realized I was not buying her story.
With a graceful smile, she said, “What your eyes see may not be the truth. You need to feel things slowly, Chlo. Be patient.” Sure enough, she had some hidden agenda.
I remained calm, giving her a casual glance. “Alright. I’ve got all the patience in the world. Let’s go!”
With that, I grabbed Myra and walked toward the parking lot. I could distinctly feel her cold and stern gaze from behind.
There was definitely some hidden meaning in her words.
She could play at her own game. I’ve got Atlas with me. The two of us can handle her.
Sooner or later, she would play herself into trouble.
In the car, Myra asked, “What’s she up to? She’s so cryptic. I really can’t stand people like that.”
“I don’t care about her intentions. Unrighteous deeds will backfire. If she overplays her hand, she’ll be in trouble!” I said nonchalantly. However, there was still a trace of unease in my heart.
It seemed Stella was up to no good.
Myra, seeing that I wasn’t afraid of her, also breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked, “Chlo, when do you plan to send Charlie away?”
I hadn’t thought about this question.
After contemplating momentarily, I looked at her and said, “Myra, bear with me on this. I think I need to get Matthew’s opinion after his lawsuit is settled. After all, he’s always treated him as his own son it’s important to respect his wishes.”
“Chlo, it’s not that I’m rushing to send him away. On the contrary, I’ll miss him terribly. I can’t accept it i he’s suddenly taken away from me,” Myra said, sounding a bit helpless, a gentine expression of reluctance on her face.
I laughed, giving her a sidelong glance. “Even if you’re reluctant, you have to let go. After all, he has a family. If you like kids so much, have another one.”
“Ugh!” Myra sighed and looked out the window. “In the end, a child is just a child. He’s innocent. It’s really nice to have him around.”
Then she looked at me. “What about
you, Chlo? Have you thought about having another one? Mr. Atlas is great. Both of you are loving people. You should seize the opportunity; have a child, and complete the family. You can have a perfect family of four, with a son and a daughter.”
I understood Myra’s meaning. Those who don’t know the detailed situation between me and Atlas would think I hit the jackpot. How could a divorced woman with a child possibly deserve a business tycoon like Atlas?
It was supposed to be a lucky break when a handsome bachelor with prestigious status and enormous wealth fell for me.
“We’ll let things unfold naturally,” I said shyly. “If it happens, it happens.”
This was something I had prepared for and must fulfill. It was my wish to have a child with Atlas.
Back at Pleca Park, my mom said Charlie didn’t cause any trouble. Upon seeing Myra, he crawled over, giggling infectiously.
When those little eyes spotted me, they stayed fixed for a long time. With a pair of little teeth showing, he smiled and said, “Mommy.” Then he let go of Myra and crawled toward me.
I quickly picked him up and kissed his little face. He giggled, patting my face, excited beyond words.
My heart was touched, and my eyes involuntarily became moist.
