Eloise seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere and replied, "I tagged along with Mitchel. The Dixon Group is overseeing a transportation project, and they need to do some on-site inspections."

Her voice trailed off, and her face suddenly turned red. She added hesitantly, "I simply insisted on coming over against his wish."

Raegan knew the project Eloise mentioned.

The leaders of Aurora prioritized infrastructures development, aiming to shorten the time of travelling to the outside world. The transportation project first set eyes on commuting to Ambrosia.

This could be regarded as a signal to the international community that Ambrosia's economy had attracted the interest of Aurora.

This was a fantastic opportunity. Which company in Ambrosia wouldn't want to get involved in such a project? After all, they had government subsidies and the chance to earn company prestige. Nothing could be better than this. So, it was no longer surprising that the Dixon Group took this project seriously.

However, what Raegan didn't quite understand was Eloise's last sentence. Mitchel had no intention of bring Eloise along here?

Realization belatedly dawned on Raegan and her face flushed with embarrassment. It seemed she had indeed misunderstood Mitchel, since it appeared his presence here was merely for business.

Moreover, the relationship between Mitchel and Eloise raised question.

Judging from Eloise's sudden flush, Raegan suspected that Eloise was likely Mitchel's girlfriend.

Raegan lowered her head. If only she could have withdrawn her previous words of assuming Mitchel had come all the way here just for her.

There was an awkward silence.

Right then, Hector showed up. Spotting Raegan had returned, he stepped forward and said, "“Raegan, Mitchel came to discuss the project. But when he heard about Erick's situation, he came with me to pay a visit."

Then, Hector glanced at Eloise and added, "Do you remember Miss Benton?"

Hector remembered Raegan and Eloise once camped together and felt there was no need for further introductions.

Raegan was rendered speechless. She had never been this frustrated.

She vividly felt the impact of her recent anxiety as the due date was around the corner. She was so agitated that she just jumped to the conclusion at first glance and got emotional since then.

Despite Mitchel's words of explaining his presence, she stubbornly stuck to her assumption. This made Raegan feel her face burning with embarrassment. She wished she could immediately leave.

Eloise, never a keen one to read the room, said to Raegan, "Raegan, am I bothering you? Mitchel didn't want to bring me over. But I insisted..."

"No, it's okay. In fact, I want to thank you both for coming to see Erick." Raegan's flushed face turned pale as she silently berated herself. With a forced smile, she said, “Sorry, I feel a bit tired. I'll take my leave for a rest first."
