Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 1037 Lost and Regained

I was devastated when I heard the automated message telling me Matt's phone was turned off. I couldn't believe it.

"He must have taken her away since he's turned off his phone!" My emotions were spiralling out of control as I looked at Atlas. He checked his wristwatch.

I glanced at my phone screen too, and realized there were still 5 minutes to nine.

At that moment, I heard a faint shout, "... Mom!"

Startled, I turned to see the tall figure of Matt at the end of the pavement, walking briskly toward us. He was holding Ava.

With just one glance, my heart settled back into place.

I quickly walked toward them, and Ava joyfully called out, "Mommy!"

She was dressed in a gorgeous new green dress, and her laughter was endearing.

"Why are you only her here now?" Even though I had finally seen Ava, I was still a little angry.

Relieved, I extended my hand to grab Ava and give her a firm embrace and kiss.

"Don't be mad at Daddy, Mommy! Daddy doesn't have a car anymore, so we took the bus! And there was traffic!" Ava explained in her sweet voice, fearing I might blame her father.

Then she shouted at Atlas, "Daddy! Daddy! Why are you both at kindergarten? Did you miss me?"
