Chapter 241: Long Night V

Athena snorted softly, humor flickering in her eyes. Like she could genuinely hold a grudge against Antonio. After all, this was the first time in a long while that he had gotten her this annoyed.

Without much ado, he had spoken up and led Ewan and the kids into one of the numerous visitors’ rooms, then took the other adults to the larger dining room, where supper was being served.
