When both of them came out, Sam was waiting outside. When Sam saw both of them coming out, he went forward and handed them some water. "Young Madam, how is it?"

Minerva smiled and nodded, but she quickly thought of something. She glanced at Vera, who was beside her, and Sam immediately understood.

"Don't look at me. I was just simply praying. Besides, I caused a scene just now. Maybe the deity got upset." Vera spoke in a muffled voice, and she sounded low-spirited.

She lowered her head and did not seem to be lively and energetic at all.

Sam felt that if she were a small animal now, both of her ears would have been down at this moment. He could perceive it just by imagining. Sam even thought that he could pull that pair of ears. Of course, in reality, he had no such ears to pull on.

However... He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently put his big palm on Vera's head.

"Don't let something you can't predict bring you down. How could you know if it would come true if you didn't try it?"

Vera wanted to glare at him, but when she looked up, she suddenly saw some notes in his pocket. She subconsciously reached out to grab it.

She held the note that Sam had written in her hand.

"Ah? Did you also go and pray?"

Minerva, who was standing to the side, was speechless.

She felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

Before entering, Sam had clearly indicated that he did not want to go. But Minerva did not expect him to secretly...

Getting caught, Sam felt a little embarrassed and a little ashamed.

But now, he couldn't deny it.

He could only nod and admit, "Yes, I didn't want to go initially, but it's was really boring outside here, so... I went to pray."

Vera didn't care what he said. She had already taken out the note and looked at it.

When she saw that his note had some prayers for something that was not happening well for Sam, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"I was wondering why you suddenly comforted me. It turns out that you are also comforting yourself at the same time. Sam, what were you praying for?"

Sam looked at her and did not tell.

"What did Father tell you? Did he say that a man can determine his own fate and that everything depends on men's effort?"

Vera said as she raised her head, and she looked into Sam's eyes instantly. His gaze was deep, it seemed to be burning on her face like a fire.

Vera's heart skipped a beat. Sam was...

She panicked and wanted to look for Minerva.

However, Minerva seemed to have expected this to happen; she had already hidden somewhere.

"You should know what I prayed for."

Just as Vera's heart beat wildly, Sam had already spoken faintly.

"I know what you prayed for as well. But obviously, life has not been smooth for us recently. It seems that... this situation may last for a little bit longer? But I believe if I work harder, you will be mine." You would be mine...

You would be mine...

Vera was so nervous that she blinked several times and stepped back in a panic. After that, she thought of something and put the note back into Sam's arms while she said angrily.

"I don't have the same kind of thing as yours in my mind. My matter is different from yours! As for what I prayed for, I won't tell you!"

After that, Vera ran away directly.

A faint smile appeared on Sam's lips as he watched her run away.

As Minerva was drinking water, Vera ran over to her and sat down beside her. There was a smile in her eyes, and then she heard Vera complaining to her.

"Minerva, are we still good friends?"

"Of course. Why would we not be?"

"Then why did you abandon me when I was in trouble? Why did you sit here and drink water leisurely? You are so heartless!"

"You were in trouble?" Minerva

turned her head, and her eyes were full of smiles. "You didn't seem like you were in trouble, though I did see a man. As your good friend, when you have someone who loves you, I will naturally give you more time and space."

Vera was speechless.

Then she pouted angrily.

"What love? I don't need love. I'm someone who needs to work hard to maintain my restaurant. I don't need love." Minerva just smiled and said nothing.

"But he also has it rough recently. Suddenly I felt that he was as unlucky as me, and I am not the most unlucky person."

"That's right, both of you are quite fated for each other. You were sad that you had it rough, and you were comforted knowing that he was the same."

Vera was speechless for a moment before saying, "Look at you, you're talking about this again. Minerva, you're really getting worse and worse these days."

"Am I?"

"Hmph, of course you won't admit," Vera says sulkily.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. We should get ready to head down."

Minerva glanced at the darkening sky. It would be about nightfall when they reached the foot of the mountain. However, she noticed that there were street lamps on both sides of the mountain when she went up. Moreover, going downhill would be much faster, it would probably only take them half an hour.

"Huh, don't you need to rest for a while longer? You didn't seem to have any problems on the way here, but you are pregnant, after all. You won't force yourself, will you?" Vera looked at her worriedly. She was worried that Minerva would not say a thing about feeling uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, look at me, do I look like I have any problems? Or, do you want something bad to happen to me?"

"Touch wood!" Vera interrupted her rudely. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I hope that something bad happens to you? I hope that you will be safe and sound, and nothing will happen to you!"

As they were talking, Sam came over.

"Young Madam, how are you doing? We should get ready to head down."

As soon as Vera saw Sam, she thought what he said just now. The expression on her face suddenly became a little unnatural. She coughed softly and then turned her head away.

Seeing the awkward expression on Vera's face, Minerva smiled and said, "I'm alright. Let's head down then."

Vera followed Minerva and got up. When they went up the mountain, she didn't have the strength to hold onto Minerva. But when they went down,

Vera followed Minerva closely, and she stayed far away from Sam.

Sure enough, the sky turned dark halfway, and the street lamps had been turned on.

There were a lot of people going down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Vera covered her stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat."

They returned to the hotel and went back to their rooms to rest after dinner. Minerva and Vera stayed in the same room. After taking a shower, Minerva called Abigail to tell her that everything was fine and then asked her about Maddox's situation.

"Don't worry. It's already late today. You should have a good rest and come back tomorrow. Nothing happened to Maddox. I will take good care of him for you."

"Thank you, Auntie. I really appreciate your help. I'll come back tomorrow."
