Chapter 234: Matters Arising III

What now? Athena wondered, taking a slow survey of Aiden’s profile.

She noted his more-than-necessary taut muscles, the clear discomfort etched on his countenance, the tight grip on the steering wheel, his lips pressed in a firm, unyielding line, and the subtle twitch that danced across his nose at intervals. Oh, thiswasserious, she finally deducted. It was surely something related to the ex-wife.

Aiden scoffed bitterly immediately. "And why would she do that? She is so self-sufficient now!"

Athena opened her mouth to ask for more details, but then Aiden repeated his question from earlier, firmer this time, cutting her off, informing her that the topic of Gloria was closed.
