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

Chapter 212: Ewan’s Apology II

The opening and closing of the door of the boardroom dragged Athena out of her frenzy thoughts about the twins who she termed "evil doctors of the West."

She lifted her head, a furrow line marring her forehead when she saw the relaxed features, the hint of a smile, on the lips of Old Mr. Thorne and Ewan. Their closeness too, and the walking rhythm, successfully piqued her interest.

What went on in that room, apart from Old Mr. Thorne handing Ewan’s rights to him? She wondered, unable to be even amused when they came to a halt at the same time before her. Her anger was yet to be pacified.

"I will see you around, Athena," Herbert spoke then, perceiving that it was time for him to leave.

He gave a curt nod to Old Mr. Thorne and Ewan, and then turned away from them, walking down the winding corridor till he was out of sight.

"It seems you both had some catching up to do..." Ethan spoke next, having noticed the same thing Athena had noticed, especially the relaxation of Ewan’s shoulders, which had been a different case during the meeting.

It had been a subtle feature, but Ethan had eyes for these things.

Ewan spared him an amused glance. "Yes, we did."

"Good for you." Ethan said, before turning to Athena. "So, should I head off to the academy now, or do we have some other things to talk over? Should I wait for you back at the house?"

Athena shook her head. "I don’t think there is anything else. If there is, I will email it to you."

"Academy? Is your new venture a school?" Ewan asked, but he got no response, only a cursory glance from Ethan right before he turned away and started down the corridor.

Old Mr. Thorne followed him.

"You two can meet me outside," He had said before leaving Athena with Ewan.

That old sly lion! Athena cussed mentally, inhaling deeply for control, before turning to face Ewan, who didn’t think he would be speaking with Athena face to face like this, so soon.

Old Mr. Thorne had really set him up!

"Uhm..." He actually stuttered like a teen before his crush.

"Ewan, you look well. I’ll see you around then. Have a nice day," Athena spoke, cutting in calmly, needing to be away from this growing awkwardness. But before she could turn away, Ewan called her back.

"Athena, please wait..."

Athena inhaled deeply again. "What is the matter, Ewan?" She asked, maintaining her cool.

Ewan sighed, seeing the blank expression on her face. "I... I want to apologize for everything." He paused, inhaled deeply and exhaled harshly. "I am sorry for wrecking our marriage, for hurting you at every turn, for disregarding you, for allowing you to be bullied by Fiona and her family, for choosing Fiona every damn time over you..."
