In an instant, her whole body was pulled into his chest, and at the same time a hoarse voice rang in her ear: "Daisy."
'Yes, I'm here."
Daisy was a little surprised when he called her name, but soon she gently patted his broad shoulder.
Hearing that, Atlas was a little shocked. He didn't say anything, just hugged her like that. He didn't know what to do but he felt like hugging her and he did. It seemed that hugging her would make his broken heart calm down.
Closing his eyes tightly, he inhaled the scent of her hair. Daisy didn't move, she just leaned against his chest, letting him hold her the way he wanted. To calm him down, she sang a country song to him. His soul felt like it was bathed.

Outside, Dalziel was helped down to the chair by Winifred. She poured him a glass of water but he didn't drink it. He is still angry. It's been many years, no one has dared to kick him like that. Daisy was the first to kick him.
'Dalziel, is your leg okay? Do I need to go to the hospital? That woman is too much, daring to kick you."
At this time, Winifred angrily cursed Daisy.
'What happened, why did Dalziel have to go to the hospital?
At that moment, a panicked voice rang out.
Mrs. Nenito had just returned from outside. Before she entered the house, she heard Winifred speak. She couldn't help but go to the sofa to ask.
'Mom, you're home. I'm fine, don't worry."
Even though he was still in pain, he couldn't tell his mother that he was beaten by a woman, that would be very humiliating, but Winifred didn't understand what he meant and she quickly said: 'Why is it okay? It's obvious that you were kicked so painfully..."
'Winifred, shut up, stop talking, I said it's okay, it's okay, don't talk too much."
Dalziel interrupted her with a cold voice, his eyes also showing a warning.
So, Winifred didn't dare say anymore. She lowered her head and looked miserable. She was only worried about Dalziel but he scolded her.
Mrs. Nenito felt that things were a bit wrong. She frowned and asked: "What happened? Dalziel, I'm your mother and you want to hide something from me?"
Dalziel still did not explain, Mrs. Nenito could only look at the other person. "Winifred, what happened to Dalziel? You have to tell me quickly, that you are about to become my daughter-in-law, so you still want to hide it from me?"
For a moment, Winifred was stuck between two people, unable to hear this person, unable to hear the other person, one side was her husband, and the other side was her future mother-in-law, she was extremely awkward, her lips pressed together, not daring to utter a word.
'Hmm, Winifred, you don't consider me your mother-in-law, do you?"
Mrs. Nenito did not hear her answer and was a little unhappy.
This made Winifred panic and quickly wave her hand.
'No, I'm not, it's just Dalziel… he…"
While speaking, she glanced at the man in front of her. Dalziel still had such a cold appearance, making Winifred even more awkward.
'Okay, if you don't want to say it then you don't have to say it anymore, Dalziel, do you think I won't know if you don't say it? I give you one last chance, will you say it or not?"
Mrs. Nenito's qualities suddenly skyrocketed.
'I would say, you don't make it difficult for him."
Winifred suddenly spoke up.
'Winifred, you mustn't talk."
Dalziel suddenly shouted angrily, Winifred was startled and shrank her neck.
Mrs. Nenito couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Why don't you let Winifred speak?"
'Winifred, tell me."
Mrs. Nenito looked harshly at Winifred, not allowing her to dodge.
Winifred took a deep breath, ignoring Dalziel's cold eyes, she opened her mouth to explain everything to Mrs. Nenito, not missing a single detail, her voice was still annoyed on Dalziel's behalf.
The more Mrs. Nenito listened, the more blue veins appeared on her forehead. She couldn't help but throw her bag on the table, 'This bitch, how dare she kick Dalziel, who the hell is she, we can't let her act like that. I have to go teach her a lesson."
After speaking, Mrs. Nenito immediately went to Atlas' room and knocked on the door: "Daisy, Daisy, please open the door."
She called and knocked on the door, alarming the two people inside. Daisy wanted to leave Atlas's chest, but he held her back.
'Don't move, let me hold you a little longer."
"Someone is knocking on the door outside. Let me go see what's going on. Such noise will affect you."
Daisy softened her voice. Hearing the call outside, she could guess who it was. It was none other than Mrs. Nenito. Although she was not Atlas's biological mother, her identity was still her daughter-in-law. She had to go out to meet her. No matter what happened, she couldn't let her knock on her door like that.
But Atlas wouldn't let her go. He hugged her tightly and said: "Just ignore her."
He also heard who the person outside was. If he said so, she wouldn't care, she just doesn't like noise.
'That will make noise for you."
Daisy is worried about him. Normally he likes to be quiet and doesn't want anyone to bother him. How can he stand this noise?
'It's okay, if I hug you, I'll be okay."
Atlas said softly. He indeed hated the noise, but he missed her embrace more.
Even though he said that Daisy still saw his eyebrows furrow, showing that he was very uncomfortable. She had no choice but to put her hand up to cover his ears. This will make him a little better.
