His husky voice murmured in my ear, "How long do you plan on avoiding me?”
"I'm not..." I tried to defend myself, but as soon as the words left my lips, I felt I had
misspoken.
We were already so familiar with each other, both physically and emotionally. Any intimacy
between us was a tempting lure.
“Thank you for saving my Ava,” I said, hoping to shift our awkwardness.
“Not just your Ava,” he replied, his eyes gleaming affectionately. "Ava has a good heart.
It's you who's a little heartless.”
"I'm not a five-year-old child. I can't bother you!" I reluctantly said. After all, I hadn't
overcome the hurdle of him being with Harmony.
"Nonsense!" Atlas stood up, feigning anger. He moved the chair next to him and pulled me
into his arms, settling us both on the beach chair.

pounded against my chest.
Atlas, his handsome face serious, gazed at me. "Chloe, I know you've been through a lot.”
Tears welled up in my eyes involuntarily.
“Especially with Ava, I know. It's my fault for neglecting you both. It was my responsibility.”
Atlas gently patted my shoulder, sending tingles through my body.
We both understood each other without words.
According to Ava, she followed the car because she was attached to him. Otherwise, those
villains wouldn't have found an opportunity to snatch her from our doorstep.
Even though a week had passed since the incident, just thinking about it sent shivers
down my spine.
"I neglected the feelings of the child. I thought that by distancing myself from you, I could
lessen the harm to you and your daughter. But it turns out to be the opposite."
He tightened his arm around me. “I know you love me. That's why I wanted to minimize
the chances of someone using you two against me. This time, they used Ava to test us.”
Hearing Atlas's words, I was taken aback. I looked at him with eyes filled with panic. "What
do we do?"
He smirked. "What do we do? We face it head-on. Instead of hiding and letting them
exploit our weaknesses, it's better to be open and honest.”
“There's more to this situation than meets the eye. I had met the man who kidnapped Ava
in the hospital on the day I had my cast removed. He was one of the kidnappers, and he
had Atlas's expression grew somber. "He escaped with that doctor last time. That doctor
was their accomplice.”
I quickly asked, "Do you know them?”

have secret agents in various countries.”
Atlas's expression was grave. "I came into contact with them during the investigation of
the plane crash. They're linked to my parents’ deaths.”
"You mean, the plane crash was confirmed to be orchestrated?” My mind raced with
thoughts of
Grayson's investigation. I didn't know if I should tell Atlas.
“Yes, we found leads to them among the casualties. And I suspect that the death of Rory,
who was with my father, was faked!"
"What are you saying?" I was shocked, my mouth agape.

imposter?”
