Although I was a bit nervous, I believed that Atlas would be able to open it.As expected, he reached out without hesitation and pressed the confirm button. With a click, the lock opened.I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Atlas with joy. I didn't expect him to open it so easily. I didn't know if he was just too clever or if it was too smooth for him.The manager, Tris, and Dylan withdrew, leaving only me and Atlas inside. I knew that Atlas wouldn't hide anything from Dylan and Tris.A stack of somewhat yellowed documents was visible when Atlas opened the box. After a fleeting perusal through them, Atlas's hand stopped sharply, and his eyes brightened.He handed the documents to me, and I was also surprised. These were some mining approval documents. This meant that Louis and Rory had already made all the preparations for mining. It was a pity that they were just one step away from realizing their dreams.He then took a velvet bag from the box containing Louis's official s

The following day.I couldn't sleep well because Atlas hadn't returned to the room all night, so I got up and went to Ava's room.She had already gotten up and finished washing.The moment she suddenly saw me, she exclaimed and rushed over, startling my mother so much that her face turned pale. She quickly pulled Ava into her arms. "My little darling, you must be careful not to bump into mommy's belly! Mommy can't hold you now, you know?"She blinked her big eyes and looked at my belly in confusion, appearing a bit aggrieved.I quickly squatted down and hugged her. I explained, "Just be careful. The little brother inside is still tiny!""Oh! How small is he?" She asked incredulously.I was speechless. How should I answer that question?Fortunately, she asked eagerly again, "Mommy, did Daddy say our home is coming back?""Yes! It's coming back!" I said it proudly. "Your daddy is very powerful!""Really? When will you take me back?" Ava exclaimed excitedly."It's being renov

Lauren pushed Ivanna jokingly, "Are you jealous too?"Ivanna tossed the orange peel she held into the trash can with a 'smack,' then patted her belly and said, "How can I not be jealous? Same procedure, same effort, same work, yet how come she can have two, and we can only have one? Something's not right with the force here."Her expression was hilarious, causing Lauren and me to burst into laughter.After a while, Lauren said to Ivanna while covering her belly, "Oh my goodness, why are you so unrestrained? Pay attention to your prenatal education!""Prenatal education? When my son is born, I'll have to educate him well. He is a self-centered guy who is unwilling to come together and share a little. “Shouldn't he pick up another sibling on the way? He won't be lonely, and I'll suffer less. Otherwise, I have to endure another nine months of pregnancy if I am planning another sibling for him."Ivanna spoke confidently, but we laughed so hard that Lauren and I were practically out

As soon as the words left my mouth, Trinity responded quickly without any hesitation."Okay!"She responded promptly, but I felt like slapping myself."Um..." I was about to say something, but Trinity had already hung up.I looked anxiously at Ivanna. Lauren also seemed at a loss. The two of us looked at Ivanna uneasily.Ivanna remained calm and said, "Why are you two looking at me?""Um... That was Trinity." I swallowed, feeling a bit embarrassed."So what?" Ivanna raised an eyebrow at me."She said she's coming over right away," Lauren explained. "Chloe didn't react in time and invited her out of habit.""That’s pregnancy brain for you!" I slapped my forehead."Let her come! I'm not afraid of seeing anyone. Foswood isn't that big anyway. We're bound to run into each other," Ivanna said indifferently. "I haven't done anything to her. She should be the one apologizing for what she did to me."The two of us stared at Ivanna in disbelief. We were surprised at how calm she was.

Trinity raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It seems like you care a lot about this.""Yes, I've always been resentful. After all, I don't think I did anything wrong, but you mistreated me. Things were left unresolved after that. Didn't you feel like something was missing?" Ivanna stared at Trinity. Her attitude was firm, and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.Trinity remained calm and looked at Ivanna's delicate face.The two of them were complete opposites.Ivanna wasn’t wearing any makeup due to her pregnancy. But her delicate face was firm, appearing serene and radiant.Although Trinity had light makeup on, she still exuded a fierce and wild aura, which made her seem like she could explode at any moment.This was one of the reasons why Jared liked Ivanna."What if our positions were switched, Ms. Trinity?" Ivanna continued, "How would you feel if you were treated like this?""For me, that 'what if' doesn’t exist! It's not even possible!" Trinity said assertively.Ivanna
