Chapter 57 Tossing Him Aside
I heard Atlas leaving the room. Then I heard voices outside the door, the door closing, and someone
walking back in.
“Don’t you feel suffocated? Atlas’s voice sounded again, I slowly lifted the corner of the blanket to find
him looking down at me from above, his smile radiant. He looked handsome in a different way.
Is this still the calm and reserved Atlas I knew?
He pulled me and the blanket toward him, holding me in his arms. I felt my heart racing. “Hey… what are
you doing?”
I struggled to breathe with him so close and his handsome face coming closer.
Suddenly, I remembered the wild and passionate kiss we shared on the riverbank last night. It was utterly
embarrassing. People could be reckless when drunk.
His stare was intense. “You’re overthinking. Relax! I’d never take advantage of an unconscious person. I
helped you out of your clothes and showered you. You were too stinky after vomiting.”
My head spun from embarrassment. What did I do last night? Was I the one who had been stuttering? And
he was the one I poured my heart out to?
“Well… maybe I should put my clothes back on!” I babbled, struggling in his arms.
He tightened his grip on me and said, “You’re ungrateful. How could you toss me aside after everything
did for you?”
“No one would toss someone as handsome as you,” I blurted, almost biting my tongue off as the words
left my mouth.
He chuckled arrogantly, stating, “That’s not entirely inaccurate.”
