Beyond the Divorce

The Best Uncle Ever!

I felt a change in Ava’s demeanor and looked at her. She exclaimed in surprise and ran toward someone, calling. “Uncle Atlas!”

I looked toward the entrance and froze. My heart was pounding.

Ava stumbled and nearly fell from excitement and eagerness. I panicked, but Atlas caught Ava as she fell. While he kneeled and held Ava, I saw them giggling. Ava wrapped her little arms around Atlas’s neck, saying, “Uncle Atlas, you’re the best!”

I couldn’t help but smile at her words. Meanwhile, Atlas’s typically cold face revealed a warm smile, his eyes full of adoration for Ava. I couldn’t believe someone as domineering as him could be so doting

toward a little girl.

“Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?” I

timidly asked.

He only glanced at me, then gave a box to Ava. “Happy birthday!”

“Thank you, Uncle Atlas!” Ava’s voice was pure. She took the box, blinked, and asked, “Is this the best

tablet?”

Atlas nodded seriously. “Of course!”

“Uncle Atlas, you kept your promise!‘ Ava threw herself into his arms again, kissed his cheek, and almost knocked him over. Their interaction attracted several people’s attention, and it was clear that his presence was incredibly striking.

Ava seemed surprised. “Aren’t you coming home with us, Uncle Atlas?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Atlas and I were stunned. His gaze brushed over me, and I quickly tugged at Ava, wanting to take her down. I said awkwardly, “Come down, sweetheart. Uncle Atlas has something important to do.”

Surprisingly, Ava resisted and clutched Atlas’s neck. “No, I don’t want to leave Uncle Atlas. My birthday is the most important thing for Uncle Atlas!”
