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

Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Bruised Ego

The phone call took fifteen minutes.

Athena made sure of that.

She smiled when she saw Fiona’s red scrunched face and hard eyes, when she noticed Fiona’s quaking limbs.

She wondered if she should fake a call, maybe stretch it for twenty minutes, to see how long Fiona’s facade would last.

Fifteen minutes didn’t seem long enough again.

After all, hadn’t she knelt for hours in the rain, under the strict orders of Fiona and her mother?

So, she had the right to make another long call!

However, she had some work to do. She also had to pick her children from school.

"How are you feeling, Fiona?"

Fiona stamped down the urge to flare and cuss. She rather sighed, as if she was near the gates of death.

"Athena, I feel sick, to be honest. I’m sorry for kneeling in the first place. I should have asked for your permission. Can I stand? I think I will die if I stay in this position longer."

She placed her shaking hands on Athena’s table as she spoke.

When Athena glared at her, she took it down.

"Please, Athena, I’m sorry. Have mercy on me, please. Forgive me of my wrong behaviors. I had only been an overzealous youth then..."

"So, you are a mature woman now?"

Fiona bobbed her head.

"So why did you cause a ruckus the last time you were here?"

Fiona stayed silent, having no defense anymore.

Instead, she started sobbing very loudly, a few seconds later.

Athena was mildly startled at the swift change of events.

She snickered when a knock sounded on her door, and Ciara popped her head in.

"The doctors complain that the woman is noisy."

"Did you hear her, Fiona? You are noisy. You shouldn’t be that, especially when you are seeking a favor."
