Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1431

Chapter 1431: Favor

"Why are you even doing this?"

"Because I have what you don’t, human decency."

"You!? Human decency... Aurora Ravenstein? That’s totally news to me."

Aurora glared at Caldor. Though he was older than her, he knew her enough to keep a safe distance before he ran his mouth.

"Then how can you explain what I’m about to do?"

"Beats me. But I’m sure there’s a good explanation in there somewhere."

"Mom."

They both turned towards Ember who was walking between them. Aurora blinked rapidly, trying to signal her, but all she got was a look that screamed, what are you doing?

"Hmm? What did you say, sis?"

"Ember wait—"

"Mom asked."

"I knew it!" Caldor burst into laughter. "Human decency, my ass! The Aurora I know doesn’t give a shit."

"Ember! Why did you say that? I told you that in confidence!"

Ember shrugged, with barely any change in expression. "Truth."

Aurora could only sigh, then sent Caldor, who hadn’t stopped gloating, a glare.

"This right here is why you’re still single."

"Hey!" Caldor protested. "That’s low, even for you. Hitting my sore spot like that..."

"Lonely."

"Not you too, Ember!"

As Aurora began to chuckle, Caldor fell silent after that, settling into a deep frown. Though he looked sad, he’d been right about one thing, Aurora didn’t give a fuck.

’I’m surprised Atticus did that though. Is he alright?’

An hour ago, Aurora had been called by Anastasia where she’d been told what occurred between Atticus and Zoey.

Atticus was many things, but Aurora would’ve never imagined him a cheater. He was the most loyal person she knew.

Regardless, what happened had already happened, and Anastasia had asked her for a favour, to get Zoey out of her training room.

’Would she even want to leave?’

It was a question born out of laziness. Though she pitied the girl, if it was a choice between Atticus and Zoey, she’d pick the former even if he was in the wrong. That was simply how families were.

You always pick family.

’Since Mom asked, I’ll have to try my best.’

There were only two people Aurora would do anything for in this world. Atticus was one, and the other, Anastasia. She was just that grateful for meeting and falling under the care of such a selfless and loving woman.

They reached Zoey’s training room on the hill, and Caldor and Ember turned towards Aurora.

"Good luck."

"Bye."

"Wait! Aren’t you guys coming with me?"

"Hell no. I love drama, but I never like being involved in them."

Caldor firmly shook his head, while Ember gave a simple, "No."

With gritted teeth, Aurora was forced to go in on her own. Luckily, since she usually visited Zoey, Anastasia knew the access code to the training room.
