NovelEnglishI waited until it was late, but Adrian didn't callback. Exhausted, I lay down on the sofa and drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
One arm was tightly wrapped around me. I had no idea when Atlas had cback, but he must have carriedto bed.
I didn't dare move when I saw him sleeping so peacefully. I just snuggled into his arms, thinking about Melanie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI wondered if she had gone to look for her son. It looked like I couldn't wait for Matthew to make up his mind. I had to take the child back to the Reese family.
I was worried about Charlie's safety. After all, Johnson wasn't his legal guardian. If Melanie tried to take the child, Myra wouldn't be able to stop her. If that happened, Melanie might becextremely ruthless.
I had to take him hsooner or later. Sending him back earlier would save Johnson and his wife from trouble.
After all, if the child went back to the Reese family, Melanie wouldn't dare provoke them. She wouldn't dare mess with Arton, especially considering how Arton probably knew a lot about her.
If she took the child away, she might ruin him.
Atlas was right. We were all feeling the chain reactions from this incident. But what worriedmost was whether Matthew's case could go to trial as scheduled.
It wasn't until a phone call woke Atlas up that I left his embrace. He squinted, answered the phone, then huggedagain, givinga kiss. "You're awake?" "Yeah. What tdid you get back last night?" I asked, looking at his weary face.
"Around 2 or 3 in the morning. You want to sleep a little more?" He softly askedwhile kissing me.
"I'm not sleeping anymore. There's a lot on my mind. I want to take Charlie back to the Reese family to help Johnson and his wife avoid trouble. Melanie's on the loose, and she's a danger to the child. If she takes him away, he'll suffer." I turned to look at Atlas and asked, "Any news on Melanie?" "It's the cops' job to catch her. She won't be able to run for long. But this is a big deal." Atlas got up and helpedup. We got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.
I didn't expect to see Arnold at the table too.

"You're going back already?" I looked at him in surprise. "I thought you could stay here a while longer." "What is it? You can't bear to seego? I'll stay a little longer then," Arnold said mischievously. S~Earch the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Atlas immediately turned cold, "Stop kidding yourself. Hurry up and go back, don't hang around here." Arnold smiled playfully. "This is my sister's place. It's normal for her to spoillike this." Then he turned to me. "I'll go back to handle usiness over there. I'll be Chere soon, and this time, won't leave." "Really?" I instantly felt happier.
Atlas frowned, glanced at me, and said, "What's so good about him coming back?"
"Of course it'll be good. It's lively here with him. Don't you think he should have cback long ago? Grandma Roselis getting old, and he should take over the business. Otherwise, he'll never grow up." Atlas was immediately amused. "You know he's just a lazy guy, right?" Then he looked at Arnold and said, "Did you hear that? Why are you so lazy?" "Pfft. As if you're the only one who can handle business," Arnold retorted disdainfully.
