Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1330 Balancing Work and Personal Life



Our laughter ceased abruptly as we turned around and realized that our men had left us alone earlier. It was late, and evidently, both men couldn't bear to wait any longer and had come to urge us to return to our respective rooms.

I exchanged a glance with Ivanna, stuck out my tongue playfully, and quickly got up. We both pretended to be obedient wives and hurried off to bed. The next day..

We all slept in until nearly noon. I stretched lazily as I got up and noticed Atlas working away in the room.

Feeling guilty, I quickly got out of bed and nestled into his arms. Yawning, I asked, "When did you get up?"

He set aside his laptop, looking at me like I was a lazy cat. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I guess so," I replied with fading enthusiasm. Then, I said, "I want to head over to Jaxford after breakfast. Since we've secured phase two of that project, we'll need a substantial amount of materials.

"Jaxford has made a new automatic security door, and I plan to use it for projects in Solaris. Let's go check it out. I have confidence in Jaxford, since the family's work is wonderful."

"Are you really trying to balance your work and personal life?" he teased.

I chuckled. "Hey, I'm feeling guilty. I can't neglect the business entirely. Someone here works around the clock."

His large hand slipped under my nightshirt, wandering around. "That's because I'm devoted."

I laughed even more. "And I am too."

Of course, he understood my hidden meaning, laughing charmingly and becoming more playful with his hands. "Is that so? If it weren't for your special circumstances, do you think I wouldn't..."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissed him, then said, "Alright, that's enough. Time to freshen up. I wonder if everyone else is awake. I need to check on Beatrice."

"Don't worry, she's up already. She's out in the yard talking to your classmates," Atlas said, kissing my forehead affectionately before letting me go. "Take care of yourself. Otherwise, I'll really be mad. Got it?"

His gaze was stern, and I knew he had come here with me out of concern, not because of the ceremony. Those dates had all been decided by him at the last minute.

"Got it," I replied. I rushed into the bathroom to freshen up and change.

Then, I hurried downstairs and found a large group gathered in the yard.

When Beatrice saw me coming out, she walked over with a smile, scolding me tightly, "You're pregnant, but you still wanted to go to the graveyard with me. You really are something. If anything happens to you how will I explain it to Mr. Atlas? You've really put me in a tough

spot."

"I'll be careful. If you don't want me to worry, hurry up, get back to your old self, and start a new life. I won't have to worry about you then." I took the opportunity to encourage her.

Then, I looked around. "Where's Ivanna?"

"She's still asleep." Beatrice chuckled. "She woke up this morning, had some food, and went back to sleep."

"This is when she'll need more food," I said with experience, then looked at Beatrice. "And you? You don't have a headache, even after drinking so much last night?"

"We never get to see each other. Of course we had to make the most of it. I may have had one too many, but I'm really happy. I didn't expect everyone to care about me so much, and I'm so touched." Beatrice sighed, looking at the people around her.

I advised, "Your health isn't great, so you should drink less alcohol. I hope you'll get better soon. Do you still need to take your medicine?"

"I know. Don't worry, I'm still taking the medicine. Finn's aunt brews it for me every day. Honestly, I don't dare not to drink it, even if I don't want to," Beatrice laughed.

"Finn brings it over every morning. Really, drinking it makes me feel better. But I thought about how my mother never cared for me like this when she was alive, but she did all that for Hazelyn..."

"Forget about it. You shouldn't dwell on unhappy things." I quickly stopped her, changing the subject. "Just think about how everyone came to see you without a second thought."

Beatrice immediately stopped talking about her emotions and nodded earnestly. "Yeah. I'm so grateful to see so many of our classmates here. I didn't expect them to remember me."

"You have no idea how wonderful you are. Who wouldn't remember you?" I said encouragingly.

Theo walked over. "I heard that your family's mall in Gerby is having a grand opening ceremony tomorrow."

"That's right." I nodded.

"In that case, should we all stay one

more night? We'll all attend the ceremony tomorrow, and then you

guys can go back." Beatrice looked

at everyone with a longing expression. "Spend more time with me, okay?"
