Chapter 1335 Making a Fuss Over Nothing
Those people burst into laughter, "Are you still trying to say that? You're the one who's affecting the appetite of our whole group, and you're playing the victim first!"
"Did I play the victim first? Are you guys even in a position to say that? How can I eat peacefully?"
Everyone let out a loud laugh. At first, Atlas had always been distant and icy. But now, a few bold ones teased Atlas.
"Mr. Atlas, um... is this your usual state?" Brenton was always the one with the sharp tongue. He looked at Atlas and said, "By being like this, are you leaving us with any dignity?"
Atlas smiled slightly, contrary to his usual demeanor, instantly feasting the female classmates' eyes on his beauty.
"If a man can't care for his wife properly, what else can he do well? This is just basic things!" Atlas looked at me indulgently. "Besides, feeding my eldest baby benefits the youngest one, too, so I have to do it well."
"... Ah... Chloe, are you... are you pregnant?" One of the more astute female classmates immediately exclaimed. "No wonder you're acting like this. I thought you were deliberately making things difficult for Mr. Atlas!"
I was speechless. My face and ears instantly turned red, and I almost choked. "What are you saying? How am I being difficult? What's so surprising about this?"
"Chloe, I have to get to know you again. I didn't expect both you and Ivanna to be so righteous and caring. Being pregnant and still busy running around... we can't compare."
"Yeah, after hearing Ivanna tell us about your rescue of Beatrice, Chloe, I admire you!"
I quickly took out a tissue to wipe my hands and said, "Actually, regarding Beatrice's matter, the biggest hero is Theo. If it weren't for him volunteering to help me check Beatrice's whereabouts, this matter wouldn't have been discovered.
"In the beginning, it was Theo who
found something suspicious, and my husband helped in the
investigation. I didn't expect such a big case to be uncovered. Perhaps it's true that the wheels of justice turn slowly but surely. Beatrice was not meant to die."
"Mr. Atlas, thank you so much! Thank you for loving us as well as Beatrice!"
Brenton immediately started his banter, "Theo, tell me honestly, were you interested in Chloe at the time? Is that why you were so proactive in helping Chloe find Beatrice?"
Everyone was surprised by Brenton's statements and looked warily at Atlas immediately.
Theo stood up immediately, "Brenton, what nonsense are you talking about? This is just pure friendship between classmates. Stop being petty!"
Everyone burst into laughter, knowing that Theo was afraid of upsetting Atlas.
"I hadn't seen Beatrice and hadn't
heard from her for many years. It just happened that I had business dealings with Gerby, so it was
convenient to check. That's wol ne
decided to help Chloe find Beatrice!
"And besides, Beatrice was our classmate after all. It's been almost ten years since we last saw each other. Don't make up stories. Even if I did have feelings, would I be comparable to Mr. Atlas?" Theo's words were smooth, and everyone took the opportunity to tease Brenton.
I glanced at Atlas, only to see him smiling more amiably than ever. "Since we were little, Chloe and I have always been close. She is the gift from heaven that is meant for me. Thus, it makes no difference who has thoughts. I am meant for her"
The female classmates cried out in shock once more when he said this.
