The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: My Husband is Overprotective

Derek instinctively grabbed Atlas’s arm as the man seized the lower part of his face.

"Shut it." Atlas’s eyelids drooped dangerously, his grip tightening. He listened in the brief silence and nodded in satisfaction. "Just like that."

Lola’s jaw dropped upon hearing Atlas’s remarks. She was darting her wide eyes between Atlas and Derek. For a moment, she couldn’t believe what had just unfolded and how quickly things had escalated.

"Where did those guys go—"

Suddenly, Justin’s voice echoed as he emerged from the private dining room. Derek had stepped out earlier, but hadn’t returned until now. Justin wondered why, but as soon as he stepped out, he caught sight of three figures a few feet away from the door.

His brows furrowed as he stared at Atlas’s back, then at Lola, and finally...

"Derek!" Justin gasped, taking a step forward, only to freeze as Atlas’s eyes briefly flicked in his direction.

His breath hitched as his entire body froze involuntarily. It was as though his own body wasn’t his, sensing danger and freezing for self-preservation.

"Hey—!" Derek’s voice was muffled by Atlas’s palm. He raised his foot to kick Atlas, but Atlas quickly countered with his own swift move, landing a blow to the back of Derek’s leg, causing him to lose balance.

THUD!

"Ack—" Derek’s body landed with a violent thud, clenching his teeth in pain as he touched his side, propping himself on his elbow. "Damn... it."

Justin gasped louder, watching Derek flip over and fall. He barely followed Atlas’s subtle maneuver that brought Derek down. But what he did know was that it was done with precision.

"Now, you’re quiet," Atlas nodded in satisfaction, then casually glanced at the dumbfounded Lola.

She leaned closer, whispering, "Shouldn’t you have asked him to be quiet before taking him down?"

As their eyes met, she flinched and cautiously leaned back, half-expecting to be next. Instead, Atlas exhaled softly, his expression holding layers of unspoken meaning.

"You—what the hell have you done?!" Derek hissed as he recovered, glaring up at Atlas, his face reddening with fury and his hands clenched tight at his sides.

In his mind, all he could think was: What the hell?!

Atlas wasn’t imposing or significantly larger than Derek. In fact, Derek was slightly taller. Yet, Atlas had seized him with the strength of a giant! However, for someone as self-entitled as him, this was something he would not accept so easily.

Pointing a trembling finger at Atlas, Derek continued, "You’re going to regret this! Do you know who I am?"

"Do you?" Atlas arched a brow, observing the brief confusion that flickered across Derek’s face. "Good."

Derek interpreted the vague response as mockery, causing his rage to intensify. He raised his fist, throwing away any other reasons first before his fist. But before he could throw a punch, Justin intervened, grabbing Derek’s arm.

"Derek—haha!" Justin chuckled nervously, holding Derek back to prevent further escalation. "Cousin, why don’t you calm down first, hmm?"

Derek frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Derek, I think there’s a misunderstanding here!" Justin nodded vigorously, stealing a glance at Atlas. He leaned and whispered, "Derek, if the chairman heard you’ve caused trouble, it’s gonna be very ugly."

Atlas could have taken him down before Derek even reacted, she thought, wide-eyed at Atlas. I didn’t know he could fight.
