Chapter 261 Missing You More Than Words
I wanted to kick myself as the words left my mouth I didn’t regret saying it, but a peculiar
feeling had washed over me. Sure enough, Atlas smiled at me, but I noticed an
unmistakable hostility
My dad spoke up. “What are you saying? Mr. Atlas had a drink, so he shouldn’t be driving!”
“Oh,” I replied, getting up. “Alright.”
When we got to the car, Atlas said, “Head to Cresswind Valley.”
My heart sank a bit. Although Cresswind Valley was closer than Fremont Bay, I wondered
why he didn’t
want to go back there
As if reading my thoughts, he explained. Fremont Bay is too far I don’t feel comfortable
with you driving
back alone.”
His words left me conflicted Was it because he cared about me?
Neither of us spoke during the drive, and the silence hung heavily in the air. When we
reached Cresswind
Tower, he said, “Come up with me

Upon reaching the top floor, I noticed he had booked the same room we had been in
before. He went in,
and I followed with some hesitation.
The familiarity of the room only added to the stifling awkwardness between us.
Suddenly, he turned and held my chin, making me look directly into his eyes. Atlas looked
intense as he asked, “You don’t feel anything, do you?”
I was figuring out what he meant when he lowered his head and kissed my lips with biting
intensity.
He didn’t let me go, even when I winced and let out an indelicate moan. I pushed against
him, but he
pulled me into his embrace.

prelund nothing happened?
Inwardly, I cursed him. After everything we’d been through, he couldn’t even accept
responsibility? What
kind of man was he?
As if he could hear my thoughts, Atlas lifted me and headed toward the bedroom.
We tumbled onto the luxurious bed together. In fact, we hadn’t even made it to this
bedroom on my birthday night. Atlas took his time and pressed down on me, his fingers
intertwined with mine.
He looked at me intensely, as though he hadn’t seen me in a while and couldn’t remember
how I looked.
Inch by inch, he examined and savored me. My desire washed over my sense of reason as
I stared into his eyes. He was so tender that I couldn’t refuse.

I quickly said, “It’s precisely because you’re here that I’m concerned.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t want to be the reason for holding you back. I don’t want to obstruct you from
reclaiming what’s
rightfully yours.”
“Do you think they can stop me?” He sounded as if he already had a solid plan. “Since you
know my plans, work with me. Just remember what I’ve told you, and trust me. That way,
they won’t perceive you as my
weakness.”
“But…”
“No buts! I have my plans, and that includes you,” he declared. “But I won’t allow your
thoughts to wander
again.
He pulled me closer to him.
“I mean it. No more thoughts about other men, including Ryan Phillips! If anyone dares to
lay a hand on
you again, I won’t be so forgiving.”
looked at him in shock. “The car during New Year’s… Was that you?”
