Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 503 A Slap to His Face As I was about to turn and leave, Grace called out to me, "Chlo, c-can I come with you?" I glanced at Atlas, and a glimmer of tenderness flickered in his eyes. I looked at Grace and asked, "Are you sure?" She nodded, determined. "Yes! I want to go with you!" "Mom!" Matthew's own mother choosing to go with someone else felt like a slap in the face.

"Given your behavior, do you think she'd dare to go with you?" I retorted with contempt. "Are you planning to continue your abuse once she's back?" Melanie took a sudden step forward and Atlas's eyes shot toward her. She froze in her tracks, avoiding his gaze.

We walked away without a second thought.

As Atlas and Matthew passed each other, Atlas gave Matthew a sharp look and said, "Take care of your own woman!" Melanie's anger was redirected toward Grace. "Grace, remember this. If you
