Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 810

Chapter 810 Week

Zoey's eyes turned moist as she lowered her head, muttering softly under her breath, "Yes."

Seraphina sighed and her expression softened as she saw tears streaming down Zoey's cheeks.

Without hesitation, she enveloped her granddaughter in a warm hug. "It's fine," she whispered gently.

Even Lumindra, who had been hyper just seconds ago, fell silent. Watching Zoey cry hurt her, and she shifted uncomfortably on Zoey's shoulder, her small hands reaching out to offer a comforting touch.

Between soft sobs, "Am I a bad person, Grandma?"

Seraphina stroked her head gently, "You're not, honey. You're only human. It's normal to have these feelings. Everyone does," she reassured her, holding her tightly.

Zoey continued crying for a few minutes, before slowly regaining her composure. As she pulled away from the hug, she wiped her tear filled eyes.

Seeing as Zoey had calmed down, Seraphina continued in a calm tone.

"I understand how you feel, and it's okay to have those emotions, even when it's about something or someone you care about. But don't make this more complicated than it needs to be. This is simple, Zoey. You like him, so go for him."

Zoey sniffled and tried to speak. "B-but—"

Before she could finish, Seraphina cut her off. "I want you to imagine something. Imagine him with another lady. How does that make you feel?"

Zoey flinched, and she felt pang of pain spreading through her chest at the thought of Atticus being with another girl. She hated even thinking about it. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Seraphina smiled knowingly. "That right there? That's what will happen if you don't get your feelings in order. You're lucky he's still interested in you."

Hearing that Atticus was still thinking about her made Zoey's heart swell with happiness. But Seraphina's next words froze her in place.

"But believe me when I say this, if you reject him the next time, that boy will move on. If you think he'll wait for you forever, then you're living in a fairytale."

"He's meeting new ladies every day, Zoey. Beautiful, smart, and persistent ones. And let's not forget, he's a teenager. His hormones are off the charts. The more time you waste 'figuring out your feelings,' the higher the chance you lose him. Do you want to regret it?"

Zoey shook her head, the thought of Atticus with someone else was unbearable. But she still hesitated.

Seraphina noticed the hint of hesitation and decided not to push her further. The rest was up to Zoey.

"Okay then. Ultimately, the choice is yours. But here's the thing, you have one year. When you graduate from the academy, I'll use my authority to place you in the same position as him. You don't have a choice in that regard."

Zoey's head shot up in surprise. "The two of you will meet again, whether you like it or not. What happens after that is up to you. But don't say I didn't warn you."
