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

Chapter 39: Maker Of Bad Decisions

Athena looked at the strand of light brown hair in her hand with a cursory contemplation.

The hair strand was similar to Luca’s, yet she had to confirm.

She picked her phone from her dresser and called a colleague, whom she trusted enough to be discreet and fair about the matter.

"Hello Chelsea, I need a favor..."

When she was done with the call, she placed the strand of hair into a small transparent polythene bag, and put it into a compartment of her drawer; where she was sure her children wouldn’t bother trespassing—she didn’t need any form of contamination.

After that, she walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen to bake a chocolate cake for the children.

Cakes were Friday rituals.

Because the day preceded the weekend, Athena had slotted it in for diverse cooking and baking experiences, as it helped her to spend more time with her children in the kitchen.

Today was different though, her children had a visitor.

Thirty minutes later, while she waited for the oven to do its job, the twins entered the kitchen.

"Where is Kendra?"

"We got her busy with Legos." Nathaniel answered. "But she’s slower than we are..."

Athena glared at him, but he didn’t cower, instead he laughed with his sister, Kathleen.

"Don’t worry, mom. We’ve decided to give her private lessons, for she seems to be struggling in algebra too. Is that okay?"

Athena furrowed her eyebrows. Was that a good idea?

Private lessons meant Kendra spending more time at her house.

However, when Kathleen gave her the puppy look, she nodded, powerless against the attack.

And when the twins laughed at her lack of willpower, she shook her head exasperatedly and turned away.

She hoped she wasn’t making a mistake.

Earlier in the day, when she had arrived at their school to pick them up, after treating Ewan, she had seen them waiting with Kendra already.

Immediately after the exchange of kisses and hugs, Kathleen had pleaded with her to let Kendra follow them home since the little one’s aunt was yet to come and pick her up.

Athena had refused, never mind that she had wanted a strand of Kendra’s hair.
