Chapter 1423 Woke Up to Pee
Atlas led me to the dining table, and the dishes were promptly served as soon as we sat down.I was actually hungry. My pregnancy symptoms were mild this time, with hardly any morning sickness. I was just incredibly sleepy. Additionally, I noticed I had a hearty appetite. Despite having a bland taste in my mouth a few days ago, I always felt hungry.Today's dish was lobster. The white, steamed lobster meat looked appetizing, and I wanted to dig into it immediately.Seeing my eagerness to eat, Atlas smirked. "You've got quite the appetite, huh?""It seems like I want to eat everything Sandy makes,” I replied honestly.Atlas chuckled even more. "Everything she made was what you used to love. Take this lobster, for example. You’d only eat it with garlic oil drizzled on top. You don't like the spicy kind."As he spoke, I realized I craved spicy flavors the most.Back in my hometown, there were no cinnamon toasts, so every time I ate toast, I felt a strange emotion. I vividly remem
Chapter 1424 My Bladder is Going to Burst
"You know, this time she used Grandpa as bait, which means she's eager to get me back. There must be something fishy going on. Plus, I verified what the old man told me.” Atlas was very clear in his explanation to me, actually answering a question I'd been wanting to ask him."The things Grandpa told you? Is it what he mentioned yesterday?" I asked curiously. "Do you believe him?""That's why I needed to verify it," Atlas answered ambiguously.Clearly, his words indicated that he didn't trust his grandpa."Celine is the one who fabricated the military information, but the idea came from Grandpa. Celine currently has no idea about his true health condition as well," Atlas asserted confidently."How is that possible?" I found it hard to believe.Atlas raised an eyebrow. "I found out that for a long time, Grandpa didn't meet anyone. The news of my marriage was indeed reported to Grandpa by Celine, but he was just putting on an act.""What exactly does he want?" I was a bit puzzle
Chapter 1425 Top-notch Skills
As we drove along, he patiently introduced each place to me. Yesterday, amidst the rain, everything was murky, including my mood, so I didn't pay attention to the scenery.Today, with the weather being nice, my mood naturally lightened, and I finally felt like I was in a foreign land.In my mind, Foswood was always my home. Even small towns in the northeast didn't compare.Especially after bringing my parents to Foswood, I felt that Foswood was my hometown.But here, everything was unfamiliar. Even the air felt different. Yet, it held a strong allure for me.At the hospital, we were greeted by several doctors, including the hospital's director. Atlas told me that this hospital was actually under ATL Empire.Atlas didn't just want them to perform a prenatal check-up, but he wanted a full-body examination for me."It doesn't need to be so complicated. My health has always been good, and this pregnancy has been going really well. I hardly have any morning sickness. Don't worry so m
Chapter 1426 Waiting for the Right Moment
I observed his face closely, noticing his growing seriousness. Clearly, something important had occurred.Once he ended the call, Dylan glanced at him in the rearview mirror and asked, "Any developments?""Yeah," Atlas confirmed.Dylan immediately inquired, "Should I get Nick to bait them?"Atlas thought momentarily before responding, "No, let's wait and keep things slow. Let her reach in a little more.""Is Gavin ready?" Dylan seemed somewhat concerned."Absolutely," Atlas affirmed without hesitation.I was puzzled and didn’t understand their conversation.But I didn't ask. I speculated that if they were involving Gavin, it was related to the situation in Gerby.Besides the newly opened Arkadia Plaza i n Gerby, there was also that business about the mineral resources.Was someone trying to make a move on that?Before I could solve the intricacies of the issue, Atlas's phone rang again. He glanced at the screen, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Looks like your wish is about to
Chapter 1427 Hard to Believe
"Is the Pierce Corporation still under her control?" I asked a crucial question. I believed Atlas wouldn't just sit idly by after waiting for so many years."Yes, but she has established many invisible teams within the company. That's why I'm investigating the mastermind behind it. But that doesn't stop me from taking action here. If I can lure her into my trap, I can pull out the mastermind.”"Do you have a target then?" I asked Atlas. Knowing him, he wouldn't be so bold without a clear target or if he wasn’t certain about this.He smiled charmingly. "Of course I do, but it's not confirmed yet.""Who is it?" I immediately pressed.Atlas tightened his grip on me, then whispered a name in my ear. I was stunned, stopping in my tracks to look at him.The name shocked me. How could it be possible?"Are you surprised?" He looked at me."I can't believe that..." I couldn't finish my sentence.He pulled me close and continued walking. "Many things are unexpected, aren't they? We can'
Chapter 1428 Wanting a Private Meeting
I quickly said, "Please come in.”Then I said into the phone, "Mom, I'll call you back later.""Okay." My mom hung up.The door opened, and Sandy hurried in. "Mrs. Stella."When I saw her anxious expression, I sat up quickly. "Sandy.""Abbas is here to pick you up. Mr. David wants to see you." Sandy looked at me nervously."Oh," I replied. I got up from the bed and casually asked, "Where's Atlas?""He and Dylan have already left. Abbas said Mr. David wants to see you alone. He didn't let me call Mr. Atlas," Sandy hurriedly explained. "Mrs. Stella, you...""Don't worry, I'll go see him," I said. I got dressed and tidied myself up to appear presentable before heading downstairs.I was curious about why Atlas’s grandpa wanted to see me.Abbas was waiting downstairs. He bowed respectfully when he saw me. "I'm here to pick you up, Mrs. Stella. Mr. David would like to speak to you.”His demeanor seemed respectful, but his tone had an undeniable air of authority.I smiled faintly
Chapter 1429 I Only Trust Myself
”How’s your father?”It seemed he was aware of my father's ordeal.Claims of him being oblivious to external affairs appeared to be merely a facade. His deep understanding of the situation suggested otherwise.I quickly composed myself and calmly replied, "Not great. My father's leg was crippled, which disabled him. Years of imprisonment have taken a toll on his health. Although he survived, his condition deteriorated greatly. However, his mind is still sharp."My words made him glance at me. His gaze was deep, and I couldn’t tell how he felt.After a moment, he grunted as a tacit acknowledgment of my response without delving further into the topic of my father.Instead, he said, "Since you've become Atlas's wife and you’re carrying the Pierce family's offspring, it seems the Pierce family has to take responsibility for you."I didn't understand.When he saw my puzzled expression, he indifferently said, "From now on, you'll stay here.”His words left me stunned.What?"What
Chapter 1430 Something's Amiss
Atlas didn't hesitate, saying, "Of course we have to go. She doesn't have the guts to attack us at home.""Mr. Atlas." Just then, Dylan, who was driving, suddenly interrupted us. "We've got trouble behind us."I was about to turn around when Atlas immediately held my head, telling Dylan, "Head back home."Dylan acknowledged and stepped on the gas. Both Atlas and I instinctively looked in the rearview mirror. I noticed a car rapidly catching up from behind.Dylan cautioned, "Protect Mrs. Chloe, Mr. Atlas.”Atlas extended his arm to shield me, holding me close to him with a firm grip.I could feel our car accelerating again. The roads were still crowded, despite it being late at night.The pursuing cars were relentless, and they weren't alone.Dylan was alert, and asked for backup as he drove.I felt nervous, wondering who would dare to do this.Although Celine was the obvious suspect, it seemed too blatant for her to attack us openly, especially after Grandpa had taken me away
