The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506: Someone Who Hold Atlas’ Trust

"Say, Allen... is my presence here causing too much trouble for my husband?"

Surprise immediately appeared on Allen’s face as he slowly turned his head to meet Lola’s eyes.

"If I asked Atlas, he would naturally tell me I’m not," Lola continued. "And that I should focus on what I should focus on first. Although I know Atlas would tell me directly if a problem arises, I’m also aware that his threshold is higher than most. So, his ’fine’ might not be fine for others."

For a few seconds, Allen could only stare at Lola. After a moment, he sighed in defeat and smiled gently.

"I wouldn’t call it ’causing too much trouble,’" he said. "However, there are a few who didn’t like that he got married and brought you back here."

"The Order?"

"Even the council," Allen replied without sugarcoating anything. He knew she would prefer honesty. "But that was already expected. The council, made up of the heads of each founding family of the secret society, shared the same opinions when Sybil appointed my boss as the new head of the Order."

"But well..." He paused, taking a deep breath as he arranged his thoughts. "Not everyone in the Order likes the fact that you are the matriarch of the family. Though I believe it’s not because you’re an outsider or because of anything personal toward you."

"They don’t trust me," she finished for him, and he nodded with a smile.

The feeling was mutual, then.

"But don’t worry," said Allen. "As long as your husband sits at the helm of the Order, none of them will do more than whisper. What can they complain about? His family — your family, the Bennet family — prevented the Order from total annihilation. Then, the boss rebuilt the Order and unified the Zorken family."

"Now, the Zorken family stands equal to the other founding families," he added.

In other words, even if their displeasure toward Atlas’s marriage was strong, no one would dare openly oppose it. The results spoke for themselves.

"It would be different, though, if something happened to him," Allen blurted out, only to wince once the thought caught up to his mouth.

Fortunately, Lola’s expression remained calm. She was thinking the same thing.

"I see." She rocked her head gently. "So... I have time."

"Hmm?"

"I told Atlas when I first came here that I’d like to learn more about the Secret Society — more than what’s on the surface. That includes the Zorken family and the Order," she explained. "I was just worried that I’m being a bigger burden than I thought."

Allen chuckled. "If you ever were, I assure you of one thing: I would come to you and let you know the situation myself."

"That’s actually reassuring to hear," she chuckled softly. "I hope you would, if things grow more troublesome around here."

"Miss Lola, you’ve been here for a month, and this is the first time you’ve asked me such a thing." Curiosity flickered in his eyes. "Miss Lola, did something bother you today?"

Not something, but someone.

Lola simply smiled and shrugged. "Nothing. Just making sure."
