Chapter 403 Waiting at Midnight

I needed to find a way to meet Jared. Given the situation, he either had a hidden agenda or treated Ivanna as another fling. Both would be devastating to Ivanna. I couldn't stand aside and watch my

crumble.

I thought Trinity didn't care about him or ignored his affairs, but those were slim chances. A woman who commanded such respect wouldn't tolerate sharing her man. When I saw them together, their chemistry was unmistakable.

I felt an increasing dread. Still, Ivanna seemed prepared for the worst.

"There are no unyielding principles regarding emotions. Once you're in it, you can't resist, right? We're only human, not gods. The heart wants what it wants." Ivanna was conflicted, and her words left me uneasy.

Though I understood her, bittersweet love was something only few could grasp.

It was late, so I prepared to leave. Ivanna said, "Why don't you stay the night?"

I shook my head. "I'd rather go home. We both could sleep here, but I have something important to do but tomorrow. Don't overthink and be rational. After all, Trinity is no ordinary person. It's not about fear,

caution.'

I patiently admonished her but knew I was the only one who could navigate this. No one else could sever the ties, making me think of Atlas. Even though I played it cool, only I could understand my inner turmoil.

When I left Ivanna's place, I took a deep breath and gazed at the sky. I parked my car and was about to exit when someone entered the passenger side. I was startled to see a handsome face and smell his

"Did you miss me?" He teased flirtatiously, but I couldn't read his expression.

"Aren't you overstepping by showing up so late at night?" I asked with resistance.

I wondered why he visited so late and didn't know how to interpret his actions.

"I was just sending Harmony home. I knew you hadn't returned when I didn't see your car, so I waited for

you," he answered casually.

I was dazed and wondered if he needed to flaunt sending Harmony home.

Excuse me, Mr. Atlas, you don't need to report your whereabouts to me," I replied coldly, "Please get out

"Are you jealous?" He looked at me mischievously with an enticing smile.

"Please stop imposing your ideals on others. I'm genuinely happy to see you and your girlfriend so affectionate. Still, you don't have to flaunt it because I'm not interested," My words were distant, but even I knew I was bitter and jealous.

I reached for the car keys before getting out, but he pulled me back. I fell into his embrace, which caused my head to buzz. When I struggled to get up, he kissed me.

I froze as the familiar sensation left me longing and dizzy. Atlas's fresh breath made me greedy,

nostalgic, and intoxicated. I forgot all grievances and condemnation. I even forgot where I was and what I was doing. I just wanted the kiss to continue.
