He sensed my hesitation and gently patted my hand, saying, "That was exactly what | wanted to talk to you about. No matter his
attitude, you need to remember that you're the future female head of the Pierce family."
His words moveddeeply.
"And the Pierce family now is not the sas the Pierce family back then. He is my grandfather, but he's just an old man with
blood ties to me. My respect for him is limited to that of an elder."
Atlas said that with a serious tone, showing that he was sincere.
He continued, "Besides, he has no special privilege or authority over me. He has no right to influence any of my decisions. So, you
don't need to care about his attitude."
| really hadn't expected Atlas to say that about his grandfather.
He liftedup, saying, "Let's have dinner. The food on our plane is pretty good. You should try it. Maybe you'll feel like sleeping
after eating."

"True." | laughed, teasing him. "As the lady boss, | can fire anyone if they don't do their job well."
My triumphant gesture succeeded in pleasing Atlas. He seemed unsettled and shrugged. "You want to exercise your authority? I'm
just afraid you won't get the chance."
"Feeling confident? Are you really that great?" | teased him.
He shrugged again.
We laughed and walked out of the bedroom, heading to the dining area at the back.
Surprisingly, the food on the plane was excellent. The steak was incredibly delicious, and it was probably the best steak I'd ever
tasted.
We enjoyed the meal immensely.
| laughed as | ate, glancing at Atlas suggestively. Dylan and Tristan, who were dining with us, looked puzzled and occasionally
glanced at Atlas, who was looking pleased with himself.
My appetite had been affected since | becpregnant and everything usually tasted bland, but | thought that the steak was
really good.
It was tender, succulent, and perfectly seasoned.
Atlas was delighted to seeenjoying the food. He happily watchedeat and asked Dylan and Tristan, "Is it delicious?"
As soon as he spoke, | burst into laughter, leaving Dylan unsure how to respond.
Atlas pressed on. "Hmm?"
Dylan could only nod. "It's really delicious."
"That's right. This is a meal for pregnant women," Atlas said with a mischievous smile.
Dylan and Tristan immediately looked at me, their expressions odd.

Tristan looked at both of us and tentatively asked, "Does that mean we can't eat it?"
Atlas didn't say a word, but he ate a piece of steak.
That madeand Dylan laugh comfortably.
After all, Dylan understood Atlas's humor very well since he had been around Atlas for a long time.
| muttered, "Looks like | really need to sleep for a while."
Atlas looked at my drowsy face with a blissful smile and quickly said, “I'll take you back to our room.”
"Yeah," he replied eagerly.
"Don't you have a meeting?" | was confused.
"Yeah, but it’s fine. It's important forto sleep with you."
