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

Chapter 82: Saving An Enemy

Gianna stood frozen, momentarily speechless at Athena’s response.

She took a step toward Athena, her eyes darting over the carefully arranged stacks of books and the colorful gift bags scattered around.

"Gianna, he brought them on the day of the kidnap." Athena echoed, her brow furrowed. "I had forgotten them till I saw the children opening it," She added softly, her fingers brushing against the fabric.

Gianna’s eyes perused the fiery gown, pausing when she saw a note pinned on it. Her hand instinctively reached for the delicate note.

"Is he wooing you back?"

Athena sighed, her voice barely above a whisper as she continued, "I don’t know. Signed copies of Colleen Hoover’s books bought after a year of our divorce, an Areso gown, and Le Fan’s heels. What do you think, Gianna?"
