Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 488 Choosing the Wrong Occasion I quickly stood up and positioned myself beside Bella, taking a slight step back to avoid overshadowing her.

It was evident that Archie had come over for Bella.

Bella had always seemed mysterious to me, her identity remaining a puzzle. I enjoyed deciphering the interpersonal relationships here, especially when I wanted to understand Bella better. She was quite alluring to me. More precisely, Bella possessed a charismatic personality.

At this moment, she gracefully shook hands with Archie, exuding a gentle yet distant allure that made her inscrutable. Her demeanor was perfectly balanced, with just the right touch of charm.

She didn't forget to mention me standing beside her. "Mr. Archie, this is Atlas's girlfriend, Chloe." Her introduction was interesting, positioning me as Atlas's girlfriend, not just a friend or companion but a girlfriend. This indicated that Bella was quite discerning. After all, my status hadn't been confirmed by Atlas, so she couldn't outright claim it. However, this introduction still caught Archie's attention. After all, Atlas was still a significant figure in this circle.

I stepped forward and courteously shook hands with Archie. "Mr. Archie, hello." "Atlas's girlfriend?" he seemed surprised, giving me a once-over.

Before he could say anything, a large hand clasped around my waist. "Yes, Uncle Archie. She's my girlfriend." "You do need a girlfriend. A perfect career and family life complete your life's perfection. You've been in Foswood for a long time this year. You should come and visit the old lady more often. You're the elder brother among the grandchildren and you should set a good example." Archie was direct.

"I've been doing that. If you're not satisfied, I might as well move in." Atlas responded naturally, indicating their deeply profound relationship.

"Well, that's not a bad idea. This house is so big, and your two cousins aren't coming back. Grandma is living a simple life alone as elderly people love
