Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Short Circuted

"Hello,"

Atticus greeted.

Zoey took subtle, deep breaths, attempting to calm her nerves. 'Just smile like when you see grandma,' she coached herself inwardly.

Zoey's expression, which had always been neutral, suddenly changed as her lips curved gently upward, forming a smile that seemed to radiate warmth and light.

It was a subtle yet captivating curve of her lips, imbued with a magnetic charm that had the power to captivate even the most indifferent observer.

In that moment, her features softened, and a sparkle danced in her eyes, illuminating her face with an ethereal glow.

The atmosphere around her seemed to shift, suffused with an aura of undeniable allure and grace.

It was as if the very essence of joy and positivity had manifested in her smile.

With this radiant smile gracing her face, Zoey turned abruptly, locking her amethyst gaze with Atticus's piercing blue eyes. She greeted him softly, her tone barely audible, "Hi."

However, instead of the expected response, all Zoey received was the sight of Atticus, frozen in his tracks, his mouth slightly agape as he stared at her.

Zoey was utterly bewildered.

'Why is he just standing there? Lumi, did I do something wrong?' she asked instantly, her cute, heart racing smile morphing into a confused frown.

'Pffft!!'

All Zoey received in response was Lumindra's hearty laughter.

'Lumi!'

After a few long seconds, Lumindra finally managed to stifle her laughter and decided address the situation.

'Ha! Bunch of virgins. Just give him a few seconds, he's probably trying to process something, pfft!' Lumindra broke into another fit of laughter as she got to that last part.

'Process something?' Zoey wondered what Atticus could possibly be trying to process.

And Lumindra had been right. Atticus was indeed grappling with something, or rather, two things. It was as if his brain had short circuited.

The moment Zoey turned, Atticus was immediately captivated by the most breathtaking smile he had ever witnessed.

It sent his heart racing, but it was the second aspect that left him momentarily paralyzed.

When Zoey spoke, it seemed as though Atticus's brain had overloaded from experiencing an overwhelming surge of beauty all at once.

After a few seconds, Atticus's eyes regained focus, his gaze meeting Zoey's, her eyes reflecting confusion as she stared back at him.

Atticus shook his head, instantly snapping out of his reverie. "Hi there, I'm Atticus. I don't think we've officially met yet."

Many might find Atticus's introduction quite normal, but to many of the tiered, it carried a huge amount of significance.

The tiered families were families filled with incredibly proud individuals. Even the most righteous individuals raised by a tiered would end up proud.

And although each of the tiered families had different views about many things, there was one thing every single one of the tiered carried with the utmost importance.
