Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1404

I wasn't sure if he referred to Arthur or Ernest.

His large hand rubbed my head gently. "Take a break, sweetheart, and think about what midnight snack you'd like to have. That's the real deal."

"I just ate. Do you think I'm a pig?" I scoffed. "I can't move after eating."

He chuckled at my comment. "Do pigs look as beautiful as you?"

"I consulted the doctor. At this stage, your body consumes a lot of energy, which is crucial for the baby's development. You need to make sure you're getting all the nutrients. You won't gain weight because our baby is absorbing all the nutrients," he explained.

"You're too knowledgeable, Dr. Atlas." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Nutrition is essential for the baby's development. This is the time when the brain grows. You wouldn't want our baby to be a little dumb, would you?" he teased me.

"Our baby must be smarter than me. He needs to win in life from the start.”

"Just because you know so much, you talk like you've given birth yourself. How could my child be dumb? Is Ava dumb?" I retorted incredulously.

He shook his head immediately. "She’s very intelligent."

I smiled contentedly. "Exactly. Anyway, you said we were going for a prenatal checkup today, but we forgot about it."

"Then let's go tomorrow morning." Atlas quickly suggested. "Regular checkups are still necessary."

"Okay."

I readily agreed to his arrangement. Then, I shifted the topic back to the dinner.

"You're not very close to Lance, are you?" I looked at Atlas. "Didn't they say he has a good reputation?"

Atlas raised his eyebrows slightly. "Well, birds of a feather flock together."

"Oh?" I was surprised and asked further, "So, it seems like you two don't see eye to eye?"

"That’s more or less the case." Atlas didn't deny it.

His response didn't surprise me at all. I observed that Atlas and Lance didn't interact much tonight.
