Beyond the Divorce

Grayson stopped in his tracks and glanced at me.

"Are your people still keeping an eye on Denton? I received word that he's returning to the country," I askedd. "Absolutely. Rest assured. It's not just my people. Dylan's team is watching his every move too."

"And about Trinity and Stella in Yare, do you know anything about that? I got word from Trinity herself."

"Yare?" Grayson repeated, furrowing his brows. "I don't know anyway about that. And she's with Stella?"

"That's right. Grayson, I feel uneasy about this." I confessed my concerns to him.

"I'll find out more. Does Mr. Atlas know about this?"

"I haven't told him much yet, but I'm starting to feel worried." The whole situation weighed heavily on my mind.

In truth, I didn't dare tell Atlas everything. I was afraid that if I expressed too much worry, he might hide things from me in the future.

"Don't worry. I'll get back to you with some updates," Grayson assured me before leaving.

After they were all gone, I looked at the two items on the table, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, I wanted to discuss this with Atlas and explain it to Archie.

I hadn't known anything about the value of these two items. Otherwise, I wouldn't have accepted them.

I didn't want Archie to misunderstand me and think I was greedy.

I checked the time, and I hesitated to call Archie right away. It wouldn't be right to call him right now because of his work. He dealt with important business, and I just wanted to talk to him about something personal.

I supposed I should call him later in the evening to explain.

I immediately picked up the phone to call Atlas. I silently scolded him for not telling me the value of the stone.

Soon, Atlas picked up. I quickly reproached him. "Atlas, seriously. Why didn't you tell me the value of the stone I brought back from Solaris?"

He responded softly. "Hmm. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Why didn't you tell me it was so valuable?" I expressed my displeasure.

"What does it matter? You thought it was just a stone anyway," He defended himself.

I quickly interrupted, "Come on. Why would Mr. Jason give me a meteorite?"

"I told you, you deserved it." Atlas remained calm.

"But I didn't know its value. If I did, k wouldn't have even reached out for it. If

think I was greedy." I expressed my unease.

I vividly remembered the day I thought it was worthless. I had hurriedly accepted it to avoid any misunderstanding. What a situation.

"He definitely knows its value, so

don't overthink it. Just think of it as a

away we can't take it back," Atlas

reassured me.

"Then tell me, what are those seeds in that glass bottle?" I urgently questioned Atlas.

He had known those two individuals, so he must have known what they were.

"Let's wait until you grow them, then we'll talk. I'm not sure either," Atlas said uncooperatively.

"Atlas..." I couldn't help but raise my voice. "Don't tell me you don't know! I'm sure you do." "They're the seeds of a rare medicinal herb."

As expected, he spilled the beans. "Are they valuable too?"

"It's a unique plant, and only few people know about it," Atlas explained. "It requires careful

cultivation. Since you can't return it, why don't you nurture it with care?" en.swhovels.net

His words left me stunned.

He wanted me to grow it?
