Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Heading Out

Atticus walked towards Anastasia's crying form. Her eyes were completely puffy, and she was holding a handkerchief which she used to wipe her tears. Arya was currently standing beside her.

"Mom," Atticus said warmly as he got close to her. He looked at her and continued, "We've already gone through this inside. I told you, I'll be back before you know it."

Before Atticus had met Aurora in the living room, he had already said his goodbyes to Anastasia and Freya, and Anastasia had already shed her tears. But even after all of that, she still came outside to meet him again.

Standing in front of Anastasia, Atticus gazed down at her and gave her a warm hug.

Even at the young age of 15, Atticus's genes refused to be stopped. He had already grown taller than most adults at such a young age.

Anastasia wasn't short; she was, in fact, 6'2" tall, taller than the average woman, and yet, at 15, Atticus was already taller than her.

Anastasia clung onto Atticus tightly, "I'll miss you, honey," she muttered.

"Me too," Atticus replied, his tone warm. But this touching scene was completely broken by a voice, "Heh, mama's boy," Aurora remarked with a giggle from behind.

Atticus's mouth twitched, but before he could formulate a retort, Anastasia suddenly got out of the hug, "Aurora," Anastasia said, tears welling up in her eyes as she closed the distance between her and Aurora, suddenly enveloping her in a hug. "I'll miss you," Anastasia muttered warmly.

Aurora flinched; she really wasn't expecting the hug. The hug made her feel warm, very warm. She hugged back Anastasia tightly as she smiled warmly. "I'll miss you too, Mom," she said, completely ignoring Atticus, who was giving her a smug look.

Atticus turned his gaze away from both of them to Arya, who was sneaking glances at him; she suddenly turned her gaze away as Atticus looked in her direction.

Atticus chuckled. One would never believe that a feared Ravenblade could ever behave like this.

"Do you want a hug, Arya?" Atticus asked.

Arya cleared her throat in mild embarrassment, "I wouldn't dare, young master," she replied with a bow, attempting to hide the sad expression that appeared on her face.

But even Atticus of 10 years old would be able to catch on to the reluctance in her demeanor, not to talk of the current Atticus. Atticus also suddenly enveloped Arya in a hug, "I'll be back soon, don't worry," he reassured.

"That's what you said the last time, young master," Arya quietly retorted.

Atticus's mouth twitched; she was right, maybe those words were a huge red flag?

He shook his head, getting rid of his superstitious thoughts. He wasn't superstitious.

Atticus got out of the hug after a few seconds, and after one last goodbye, Atticus and Aurora walked towards the procession of youths below the imposing ship.
