I looked up at them and saw Ava's little hand slowly wrapping around Matthew's neck. Her tiny face was snuggled up to Matthew's neck.

This revealed Ava's true feelings. She still loved Matthew. Atlas was right-blood is thicker than water.

I watched as Matthew talked to her, lifted her, and kissed her. She remained still and nestled in Matthew's neck. They looked very affectionate together. After all, it had been about a year since they had last seen one another.

I couldn't understand my own emotions at this moment.

Atlas comforted me, "Don't worry, Ava is ours!"

I watched their every move from a distance as Ava lifted her head from Matthew's shoulder. She even reached out and wiped Matthew's face.

My heart skipped a beat. Just as I was about to speak, Atlas's hand on my waist tightened.
