Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 1408 Reluctance Before Departure

At the dining table, Atlas briefed my adoptive dad too, saying, "I'll discuss the lab with you when I return. But I've already arranged for people to start building the lab, so there's no need to worry."

"I'll wait for you to return. There's no rush." He seemed a bit emotional.

I noticed my mom's expression freeze for a moment. My adoptive dad might not have told her about that yet. But since Atlas was here, my mom didn't ask about it.

My adoptive dad probably hadn't expected Atlas to start building the lab for him.

After breakfast, we still had time to spare before our flight. Atlas told me he wanted to visit my father in the annex and discuss something with him.

I nodded. "I'll go with you. I'll check on Loak and Anya too, and let them know where we're going."

Atlas nodded, and we headed to the annex together. He went to visit my father while I went to see Loak and Anya.

I knew Atlas must have had something important to discuss with my father, since my father would have some thoughts about our trip back to Nocturnia.

Loak and Anya were already awake. Anya was setting the breakfast from the main building on a table. When she saw me enter, she greeted me in surprise. "Why are you here so early, Mrs. Chloe? Are you heading to work?" "It's been a few days since I last saw you. I need to make sure you're doing well." I smiled at them.
