Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 20: Played

Athena panicked for the first time since Ewan entered her residence.

She had believed her children were asleep an hour ago. But, again, fate had chosen to play funny games with her.

Her heart beat out of rhythm as she watched Ewan watch her daughter, his daughter—wondering if this was the moment where she would pull out her entire arsenal to keep her children from Ewan and his stupid fiancée.

However, that was not so. She saw no recognition on Ewan’s face.

The blue eyes didn’t do the trick?

Athena swallowed her unbelief.

Not wanting to take any chances, she stood up from the sofa, walked to her daughter, and started leading the little one back to the room.

But Kathleen wasn’t done. "Who are you, stranger?" She turned and faced Ewan squarely.

"Your mother’s friend." Ewan replied, just as fast, enthralled by the little girl with beautiful blue eyes.

Athena’s husband must be a handsome man. The feeling sat uncomfortably on his heart; he didn’t bother deciphering it.

"You should take a little aspirin for the headache, beautiful. I’m sure you will be fine by tomorrow." Ewan couldn’t help the sudden velvety feature of his voice.

Yet Kathleen made no indication that she had heard him.

She stared at Ewan keenly, forgetting her godfather who was darting glances between them, his heart hanging on a thin thread, while waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Meanwhile, Ewan shifted on his feet, not knowing what to do with the little girl’s interest in him. Did Athena tell the girl about him?
