Shattered Then Healed By His Love (by Haley Blanton) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 A Direct Question

Natalie quickly closed the box.

“Do you have to be everywhere?” Lucy said, stepping in front of Natalie to block Atlas from view, her expression one of clear annoyance.

Atlas frowned. “Lucy, we’re both Bennetts. What makes you so special?”

“What are you talking about?” Lucy asked, confused. “How am I special?”

“You’re especially nosy,” he shot back, a faint, teasing smile on his lips.

“Of course!” When it came to work, Atlas was all business. “A man can’t say no.”

“I’ll admit he’s a charismatic guy, but we’re not even in the same category…”

“You’re right. There’s no comparison.”

Listening to their bickering, Natalie couldn’t help but smile.

Whoever gets to be his wife and child will be very happy, won’t they?
