Atlas said indulgently.
'That's right."
Daisy was satisfied and finished her remaining piece of bread.
Atlas added, 'But let's fly it this afternoon, it's noon now."
'Okay, so what are we going to do from now until the afternoon?"
Daisy asked, propping her chin up. Normally, she would be the one to give her opinion, but today she deliberately asked him, to see how he would answer. He mainly just read books and drew blueprints.
'Draw you a wedding dress."
Atlas said slowly.
'Huh?"
Daisy looked at him in surprise. Did she mishear? Did he say he would draw her a wedding dress? For what? 'Hey, Atlas, why a wedding dress?"
Daisy asked.
Atlas said very gently: 'Give you a wedding, at that time I was not with you, a wedding without a groom would be very embarrassing, so I want to give you a groom in return, do you agree?"
Daisy suppressed the waves in her heart, shook her head, and said: 'At that time I was mentally prepared so I didn't feel wronged, you don't need to feel guilty, I already have you so there's no need to hold a wedding, it's too complicated."
'But I still want to do it for you, Daisy, I can't do anything more, if you refuse, I won't be at ease."
Atlas looked at her affectionately and said.
Daisy didn't think he would be so resolute, she hesitated for a moment then nodded and said: 'Okay, I agree."
Although it was said to be troublesome, Daisy was looking forward to it. Moreover, her mother couldn't attend the wedding before, this was a pity for both mother and daughter. If he wanted to do it again, her mother would get to see her as a bride. Thinking of this, Daisy felt more at ease.
She asked curiously: 'How do you plan to rearrange the wedding?"
'Secretly, then you just need to be my bride."
Atlas smiled mysteriously and said.
Daisy pouted: 'Well, you are still playing the secret game, you can do whatever you want at that time but don't be too ostentatious, I don't need to make a fuss, just cozy."
'I know, if you have close friends, invite them."
Atlas said softly, he knew that she didn't have any friends at the previous wedding.
'I don't have many friends either, just one or two and a few colleagues, I will consider whether to invite them or not, what about you?"
Daisy looked at him and asked, she didn't know if he had close friends or not, anyway, he was just at home.
Atlas said softly and calmly: 'No."Daisy could see the loneliness in his eyes, maybe he had a lot of friends before, but after the accident, he became a disabled person and no one wanted to be involved with him anymore.
Thinking about the accident that year, she hesitated and said: "Atlas, can I ask you something?"
Atlas was closing his eyes and listening to her, he raised his eyes and looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
She was afraid that he would remember the past, so she asked first: "What I want to ask is about that year."
As soon as he finished speaking, Atlas's expression immediately changed, perhaps he remembered the scene that year, and his body was a little tense, Daisy also didn't want to remember the past, so she held his hand and said: "If it makes you uncomfortable, then don't talk about it anymore."
Atlas felt the warmth from her hand, he took a deep breath and exhaled gently, saying: "It's okay if you want to ask anything, just ask."
Seeing that he had calmed down, she said, 'I heard from Grandpa that you went to the warehouse to look at the blueprints that year, and then the warehouse exploded. Fortunately, the fire department arrived in time. That's why you escaped, but I don't think it was that simple, right?"
'Um," Atlas replied in a low voice.
'How was the situation that year?"
Daisy looked at his sharp face, it seemed normal, so she continued to ask.
Atlas, after a mysterious moment, seemed to remember what happened that day. Daisy didn't bother him, just held his hand and caressed it to comfort him. She knew she shouldn't ask about this, but she felt uncomfortable and wanted to know a little about his past and what he had to endure.
Every minute, every second that passed was like the result of pressure in someone else's heart. Daisy's mood changed with Atlas's every breath, sometimes light, sometimes heavy.
He didn't know how long it took, after a while, Atlas opened his mouth: "That day, the people in the warehouse said my design was stolen, I immediately ran there without thinking, the warehouse manager and I just entered when the warehouse door suddenly closed, at first I wasn't confused but the manager panicked so I was suspicious after I threatened him, he told me the truth."
Atlas said this, and his whole body turned cold, Daisy felt his hand start to tighten her hand, but she didn't move and just listened silently.
Atlas continued: "The manager said that Dalziel wanted me dead so he stole my design, and then he told me to go to the warehouse. When I wasn't paying attention, he would sneak out and detonate the time bomb, but he didn't expect Dalziel to also want to kill someone to make him shut up."
"The bomb's time is only ten minutes, in ten minutes neither I nor the manager can contact outsiders, our only way is to deactivate the remaining bomb but when I asked where the bomb was, he confirmed to me that it was buried outside."
Atlas was a little nervous.
Hearing this, he was speechless in the room, in the past twenty-seven years, he had never been stuck in anything, it was just that at this moment, for the first time, he felt that the heavens wanted to destroy him, in the business world, he had many warriors, although there were a few people who wanted to kill him, but he never thought that that person would be Dalziel.
Although the relationship between the two brothers was not close, he still treated Dalziel like his younger brother, and he did not respect Mrs. Nenito but did not make things difficult for her, he did not expect that he would be led to this end by them. Daisy hurriedly ran over to hug him tightly, giving him some warmth, she knew how he felt at that time, when death was near, no matter how calm a person was, they still couldn't overcome their fear.
