Chapter 220 Provocation

I didn’t return to my place for dinner with Ryan and my family that night. Instead, I stayed with Atlas. After what he told me, I couldn’t leave him alone in his vast mansion on New Year’s Eve.

He told me a lot about his happy times with his parents before he turned ten. However, he didn’t mention his life after losing them, and I didn’t dare to ask. I believed those were the scars he didn’t want to reopen.
