Chapter 1859: Special Delivery for Atlas

With Atlas coming home unexpectedly, the family decided to have a party to celebrate. With so many of them, including the helpers in the house, they quickly set everything up.

No one wasted time catching up on the year they hadn’t spent together—there was just so much to say. All the things that had happened in Anteca and everything Atlas could share with them. They were so caught up in conversation that they didn’t even notice the time until Butler Jen lit the fire pit.

"A camp, huh?" Atlas tilted his head and then snapped his gaze at his mother. "Why should I go?"

Jessa rolled her eyes. "You need to go because the person who needs it the most is you, Slater, and Yugi. Maybe even Hugo, so his wife doesn’t divorce him."

Atlas blinked slowly. "But why?"

"Atlas, it’s fine if you don’t want to go—" Allison began, but Jessa raised her hand to stop her.

"Atlas, you need this for a few reasons," Jessa said, raising her finger. "First of all, your little siblings aren’t going to have weddings until you get your own. Now, even my children were using the same excuse. Second, your mother is worried you’ll waste every opportunity you have to get a wife."

When everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to Jessa.

"I don’t think I’ll like where this is going," Penny muttered, leaning toward Kiara. "Should we stop her?"

Kiara pressed her lips together, noticing Jessa’s red cheeks from the beer she was chugging. "I’m scared of her, though."

Penny and Kiara turned to Nina. She smiled weakly at them and whispered, "Me too. I’m even more scared of her."

So, everyone just bit their tongues and held their breath. Even Charles, Lester, and Haines were silent, scared of both Jessa and Atlas. Zoren, Finn, and Yugi didn’t want to get involved either. They could only hope this wouldn’t go where they thought it might. The rest—Allen, Benjamin, Slater, and Mint—just watched curiously.
