Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 942 Out of Character

His kiss left me all flustered and disoriented. Playfully, I slapped him and said, "Be serious. You're always like this." He spoke with deep affection, "I haven't seen you for half a day."

"You're getting clingier." I scoffed, giving him a stern look.

"Is that a bad thing?" He shrugged.

I scolded him, "Quick, call Adrian. It'll take some time for him to get here. Can you focus on some real work?"

Unabashed, he continued pecking my lips. "You are my real work."

I sighed in resignation, giggling as I dodged him. "Were you like this, clinging to me when we were kids?"

He immediately retorted, "Nonsense. Back then, it was you clinging to me."

This time, I dismissively said, "Sure, I can't remember anything now. Feel free to make up whatever, and I'll believe you."

The mention of this topic weighed heavily on my heart. I appeared sad, saying, "If I can't remember anything, it's a terrible situation. Whether it's something beautiful or sorrowful, I wouldn't know."

I couldn't accept the fact that my memories were deliberately erased, possibly by someone very close to me. This was why I wanted to stay at Amethyst Apartments these past two days.

I genuinely felt lost, not knowing how to face my parents.

Seeing me troubled again, Atlas quickly said, "We should not dwell on that. Let's call Adrian and have him come to my office right away. It's a good time to discuss the suitable time for the trial." I promptly straightened up, got off his lap, and urged him to call Adrian.

The call went through, and Adrian readily agreed, saying he would be at ATL Empire shortly.

Coincidentally, I received a call from Lauren. I quickly answered, and her tone sounded urgent, "Chloe, has Ivanna contacted you?"

I responded, "Isn't Ivanna with you in Bourdamun? She hasn't contacted me."

"Oh no." Lauren exclaimed, "She hardly slept last night. She was gloomy and unhappy the whole time. I tried to console her all night."

"She called me last night. How come

she's upset again? Her voice

fine on the phone. What's

sounded f

going on?" I inquired, wondering why this matter had resurfaced

"Don't even mention it. It's all because of Jared. There's still no news from him." Lauren complained.

"Ivanna's pregnancy symptoms have

been stronger, so it's normal for her to feel down. She said she met with the crew this morning to discuss the outdoor scenes for this season decided to stay at the hotel instead of accompanying her because she was working." Lauren explained.

Listening attentively, I empathized with Ivanna's situation.

"When I woke up, I found the crew members there, but she wasn't. I asked if they'd seen Ivanna, and they said they hadn't seen her all morning.

"I went outside to check my car, and

it was gone. She might have driven back to Foswood," Lauren said in frustration. "I can't return to

Foswood without a car. I don't even know where to catch a ride. Try

contacting her for me. I'll figure out a

way to get back to Foswood."

I quickly assured Lauren, "Don't worry. I'll contact Noah and ask him to send a car for you."

"Okay, please hurry. I'm afraid she might do something foolish, like going straight to the hospital for an abortion or something," Lauren said with concern.
