Chapter 78 Congratulations!
Athena vomited to the point of collapsing.
The driver squatted beside her and handed her water.
Athena looked at him.
The driver hesitated for a moment, then said, “Miss Newton, the president has been very distressed
lately, and he kept looking for you… Please don’t be angry with him anymore.”
Athena rinsed her mouth.
Her hand was pressing on her lower abdomen.
How could she return to Byron’s side?
The child would grow day by day, and he would find out sooner or later.
She told herself, “Athena…
Stay calm. You must stay calm.
There will be some way to leave!
There has to be.”
Athena calmed her breathing and got up slowly.
Chapter 78 Congratulations!
The driver saw that she was on the verge of falling, and he was afraid that she would faint.
So he reached out to hold her steady.
But Athena dodged him.
When she turned her head, she saw Byron sitting in the car, staring fixedly at her.
It was as if he was waiting for her to make a choice.
To make that one and only choice.
To bow her head, return to his side, and continue to be his obedient woman, like a canary in a cage.
Athena was like an empty shell without a soul.
She lifted her feet, walked back slowly, and sat next to Byron.
The corner of Byron’s mouth curled up, finally showing a smile of satisfaction.
“Accompany me on a business trip to Dunlop City first, and then we’ll return to Girard City.” Byron said,
“Later, just stay at Aeria Villa…”
Aeria Villa was Byron’s residence.
“No!” Athena refused without thinking.
Chapter 78 Congratulations! Byron’s eyes darkened.
He said, “Then we’ll move back to the apartment.”
“I have a place to live now!” Athena said in a deep voice.
“Evie’s shabby house?”
Athena frowned and looked at him.
“You have only two choices, either live with me or move back to the apartment!” Byron firmly said.
Athena desperately told herself that homicide was breaking the law.
Besides, she could not win a fight against Byron either.
She withdrew her gaze, gritted her teeth, and made a compromise.
She said, “Apartment.”
Byron thought for a moment and said, “All right.”
There were more memories belonging to both of them in the apartment.
Athena would live there soon, and as time went on, she would surely remember more of the good
things in the past.
Chapter 78 Congratulations! Athena stopped talking after that.
Not long after, George called her.
She ignored Byron’s gloomy eyes and picked up the phone.
George said over the phone, “Athena…”
“George, it’s just as what he said. I have nothing to explain.” Athena said coldly, “I’m sorry to disappoint
you.”
Byron frowned.
He thought, “What did she have to be sorry for?”
There was a moment of silence on the other side.
Then George said, enunciating each of his words, “I will always keep my words.”
Athena froze.
She thought, “What was he talking about?
What did he promise?”
But Athena just said, “I know.”
She was afraid that Byron would notice something, so she just gave George a vague response. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Then she said, “My boss will pay for your medical expenses. I’m
Chapter 78 Congratulations! very sorry about today’s incident.”
And their conversation was over.
Athena hung up the phone.
“Did you hear that?” She looked at Byron and said, “Give him his medical expenses and lost wages.”
Byron sneered.
“Fine, you’re the one to decide.”
Athena lowered her eyelids to block the exhaustion in her willful
eyes.
Right after, Athena followed Byron to Dunlop City.
“Congratulations, Mr. Crawford!”
The moment the representative of their business partner saw Byron, he immediately stepped forward to
congratulate Byron on his engagement.
Byron subconsciously glanced at Athena.
Athena had changed back to her business suit, and she was standing behind him with a blank
expression.
Then, the negotiation began.
Athena went straight to the seat designated for Byron’s secretary
Chapter 78 Congratulations! and sat down.
She turned on the computer and prepared to take meeting minutes,
Byron watched her,
After many days, his agitated heart had finally returned to its rightful place.
