Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 1235 Time is Running Out

I sat there, listening to them chat nonstop. It was a very dark night, and just two small lamps, like fireflies, were lit dimly out of dread of being found. It was so dark that there was no way to see far ahead!

After a while, Atlas walked towards me and reached out his hand. "We need to get closer. Can you still walk?"

"I can!" I insisted.

I grabbed his hand and stood up with his support. He hugged me and said, "You've worked hard!"

Atlas always mentioned that I needed to exercise more after our intimate moments. I used to refute him resentfully, but now I admit I lacked exercise.
