Trinity's face darkened, but I didn't flinch. I had to uphold the truth regardless of feelings. I had to be fair and honest since she had asked me about it.Ivanna smiled knowingly when she saw me firmly support her without hesitation. She quickly took over the conversation, relieving me of my dilemma."I can give you a reason, Ms. Trinity," Ivanna spoke up.Trinity smiled faintly, withdrew her gaze from me, and immediately declined. "No need."Both Lauren and I were somewhat surprised. Lauren immediately interjected, "Ms. Trinity!"Trinity raised her hand to stop Lauren from continuing.As Lauren and I looked at each other, Trinity got to her feet.I thought she was upset and wanted to leave. As I was about to get up to stop her, I saw Trinity do something unexpected to all three of us...As we were all feeling a bit bewildered, Trinity solemnly approached Ivanna next to her, bent down, and bowed, "I apologize for how I behaved to you, Ms. Ivanna. I'm sorry, I was wrong."Her
However, there was one thing I couldn't shake off: I had a feeling that Trinity came to see me because she had something to say.I felt uncomfortable asking too many questions with Lauren and Ivanna around. Trinity had always been cautious, and I doubted she would discuss whatever she wanted to say in front of them."Oh, by the way, I saw the fake Stella again, but she has no room to maneuver this time!" I said to Trinity.Trinity furrowed her brows. "It seems like she's pushing her luck further and further!"Suddenly, I asked, "Trinity, do you know a person named Lerak?""Lerak?" Trinity took a minute to think, then gave me a suspicious look before saying, "I know him.""How long have you known him?" I asked, feeling surprised."We have some connections with Navi, so it's quite normal to have contact with someone like him, who is like a military adviser to Navi," Trinity answered carelessly as she ate."How much do you know about him? Tell me about it," I asked with great inte
Lauren noticed that there was a bit of stiffness in our interaction, so she quickly said, "You two, stop talking about things that we don't know! Let's talk about something we all understand, okay?"Trinity and I exchanged a smile as we looked at one another. I smoothed things over and said, "See, there's a suggestion!"Trinity then looked at Ivanna's belly and remarked, "Your belly is quite impressive!"Ivanna was focused on eating. Hence, this statement caught her off guard for a moment. She looked at Trinity and smiled, "Who says it isn't?"After discovering his involvement with the Huffman family, we understood that Jared and Trinity were two very different people.No wonder Jared once told me, "One is fate! One is a partner!"Trinity was just his business partner."Why aren't you married yet with such a big belly?" Trinity asked directly."We're already registered! The rest doesn't matter. It's just a formality." Ivanna replied.Trinity gave Ivanna a serious look for a li
That meant she also wanted to invite Mia's fiance subconsciously."Don't you want to get to know Ernest better? Isn't this the best opportunity?" Trinity looked at me with meaningful eyes.Her gaze surprised me a bit. It seemed that she understood my thoughts very well. Or perhaps she also wanted to get to know Ernest better.But it was true that this kind of small-scale interaction was harmonious and logical."Okay!" I nodded. "I'll invite Mia!"Ivanna immediately asked, "What time?""Let's make it tomorrow! I have to inform Atlas in advance. I don't know if there are still service staff at Pleca Park, so I must arrange it." I said to them, giving myself some buffer time.I needed to inform Atlas in advance. Since he had just arrived from Nocturnia, he would have a lot on his plate, and today was simply too rushed to be realistic.The relationships between us became more harmonious with this arrangement. Trinity asked Ivanna, "Are you relieved now?"However, Ivanna casually r
I couldn't help but smile. Before going to sleep, he always needed to embrace me to feel secure.I had no choice but to obediently climb onto the bed after realizing that he was already tired but insisted on staring at me and holding onto my hand. He motioned for me to lay my head on his chest while he extended his long arm and patted it. I did as he said, and then he comfortably embraced me.By the time Mia answered the phone, he had already fallen asleep.I moved a little away from him. I lowered my voice, and called Mia, "Mia, are you in Foswood?""Yes! I am." Mia's tone was very relaxed. "I heard you went to Nocturnia. You're back?""Yeah! I came back last night." I chuckled lightly, but it seemed she also knew I went to Nocturnia."Why did you come back so soon? I was planning to call you and invite you out, but I heard you went to Nocturnia, so I didn't."I quickly told Mia, seizing the opportunity, "I just saw Trinity today and wanted to gather tomorrow at Pleca Park. It
The next morning, I woke up to a pair of clear, endearing eyes.He wrapped his large hand around my waist as he noticed me waking up and gently inquired, "Awake?""When did you wake up? Why didn't you sleep a bit more?" I reached out and pinched his cheek, then my arm draped over his neck as I stretched lazily.He opened his mouth to stop my hand gently. He smiled, and his eyes filled with affection.I smiled and dodged a bit. Atlas’s big hand naturally rested on my slightly bulging belly and said joyfully, "I realized that the two babies have grown! Feel it!"I placed my hand lightly on my abdomen. That feeling was truly blissful. What used to be a flat belly was now firm and round. It had only been three months, but I could already feel them.We both had our hands placed on my belly, interacting with the babies inside. I looked at him and softly asked, "Do you think they can feel it?""They will! They will definitely feel our love for them. Don't underestimate them. These two
Atlas elegantly ate breakfast and said to everyone, "Everyone here has a connection to that place. That’s why we're all going back together, including your father, your parents, Molly, and Jenny. Your father has wanted to go back and visit for a long time. We need to fulfill that wish."He had thought about everyone.I saw Molly's face light up with joy. Since she arrived at Fremont Bay, she had yet to return to Nocturnia. Of course we should let Jenny get closer to her parents. We would be selfish to do otherwise.Atlas continued, "I've asked some top experts to examine your father’s legs. He needs surgery as soon as possible. He can recover in Foswood after having the surgery in Nocturnia."I nodded. "We can’t delay this any longer. If his condition permits it, I want the surgery done as soon as possible too."Atlas glanced at my dad and seriously said, "I've contacted your father’s school as well. It's their anniversary this year, and they'll invite him back for a visit."My d
After breakfast, I said to Atlas, "I'm going upstairs to change. Wait for me, I'll come with you guys. I need to make a quick stop at the company after I drop off the kids. Looks like I'll be busy today.""Okay. Take your time, we'll wait for you," Atlas said softly.Ten minutes later, the four of us happily got into the car together. After dropping off the children, Atlas drove me to the company.When I arrived at the company, Carol exclaimed, "Chloe, you're back? Why are you back so soon?"Her exclamation of surprise brought Ryan and Benny over. They had arrived early at the company.They were all surprised at how quickly I had returned.I had come to the company to see Ryan. After chatting with everyone for a while, I went back to my office with Ryan. I gestured for him to sit down as I asked, "Have Mike and the others arrived?""You gave the decree, so of course they came," Ryan said helplessly."I'll go see the new house later," I said quickly.After asking Ryan about the
