Chapter 964: Ancient
[From: Old Mrs. Pierson
My Dearest Atlas,
How have you been, my dear? Isn’t the weather lovely these days? The flowers in my backyard are blooming so beautifully, and in the morning, they glow like no other. They’ve given this wide and plain green space beautiful colors. I have spent many tranquil moments walking amidst this delightful meadow, reflecting on life’s peculiar twists and turns, and our beautiful family ties.
I must confess that despite all this tranquility and joy, I find myself worrying about your well-being. I am afraid that your wit and wisdom, which have given me so much delight, may go to waste. Therefore, when our dearest Penny mentioned that you too carry this worry in your life, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I have selected quite a few eligible women in their prime who have the perfect star alignment with yours.
This old woman only wishes you the best. I hope this brings you some ease. I look forward to your response and assure you I will arrange everything, provided you give me the time to fulfill these arrangements.
Sincerely,
Grandma]

Atlas blinked, then blinked again, feeling as though the small device in his hands had turned into an old parchment. Reading Old Mrs. Pierson’s text message felt like he was wearing ancient clothing, as though he had been away from home to defend his land.
"I never knew Old Mrs. Pierson knew how to use a phone," he muttered to himself, reading the long message once more. Every time he read it, the same feeling crossed his heart and mind, to the point that he could almost imagine himself back in ancient times.
"Sir, I’m sorry it took me so long," Allen then said, returning with a tray of food from the fast food counter, sitting down across from Atlas. The second he saw the puzzlement on Atlas’s face, he was tempted to take a peek at what his boss was reading.
