Chapter 96 Coincidental
My reaction caught Atlas off guard while Ivanna ran over to pick up my crying daughter. She glanced at
Atlas and then pulled me away.
I was still trembling and vomiting when we reached Ivanna’s place. Since I had nothing to eat before, I
could only vomit bile, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.
Aka stayed beside me with widened eyes, concerned as she pleaded, “Mommy, go find Daddy!*
I held and reassured her, “Be a good girl, okay? Mommy will always be by your side.”
I couldn’t bear to tell her she might not have a father anymore. Once I calmed down, I called Adrian and
asked him a few questions. Then, I asked Ivanna to help me with some tasks. She was the only one I
could trust at that moment.
She carried my bag the whole time. When I checked it, I noticed she had taken all my necessities.
Afterward, I told her I wanted to go home, which startled her. “Why would you want to do that?”
“I meant my home here,” I clarified.
When we left Ivanna’s apartment, I was surprised to see Atlas standing beside his car. He looked at me,
and I hesitated before handing Ava to Ivanna, saying, “I need to talk to him for a second.”
Ivanna held my daughter and headed toward my apartment unit. Meanwhile, I approached Atlas in my still
-tattered dress. We stared at each other for a while, and I finally said, “Thank you, but you should go now.”
I knew he understood my implication since he didn’t argue. Instead, he gazed at me intensely, saying, “If
you’re hurt, I apologize.”
