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.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still a little stunned.Trinity also hesitated momentarily when she saw who was in the private room, but quickly regained her composure.She casually said, "Looks like everyone's here."Although she said it lightly, the three of us were somewhat surprised by her words. We hadn't expected her to speak so casually, especially after seeing Ivanna.Her meaning was clear: the three of us being together seemed normal to her.I felt relieved and quickly explained, "It's lunchtime, so we decided to come here."Ivanna calmly watched Trinity walk in and sit down without hesitation."Yeah. Jared said you guys were back," Trinity said casually.Her words made Ivanna look directly at her. Ivanna was hesitant to speak.I knew Trinity wasn't telling the truth, so Ivanna's reaction wasn't surprising.Earlier this morning, Ivanna had mentioned that Jared was still asleep, so he had no idea we were back.Atlas and I had decided to come back on a whim
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
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
