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

Chapter 270: Disturbance II

"Don’t they ever give up?" Athena muttered under her breath, watching Mary’s name flash on her screen for the third time. Why were they insistent today?

Not that there was any other day where they hadn’t been...

Ignoring the call, she shifted her gaze around the park, scanning for Jake’s car. A crease lined her forehead when she didn’t spot him. Where did he go? She wondered, placing her hand on her waist.

She pulled out her phone to call him but remembered he had mentioned during their drive in the morning that he would be busy running errands for Aiden at this time.

Athena cursed loudly under her breath, frustration boiling over. She wouldn’t call Aiden to free the driver, and she certainly wouldn’t reach out to Jake since Aiden might be with him. She didn’t want to seem petty, especially after saying she would stick to the schedule they had established this week.

Sighing again, she recalled also that she had been the one to suggest informing Jake of her schedule; the last thing she wanted was for him to loiter around while waiting for her. It felt like a waste of the man’s time.

Looking around the park, she wondered what her next move would be. Whattodo?

Just then, her phone rang again, interrupting her thoughts. Athena didn’t need to check to know it was Mary again. Mary had a habit of calling five times before giving it a rest. This was the fourth time.

She silenced her phone and walked out of the park toward the road, pondering whether catching a cab would be a good idea.

Was it a better option? She shook her head, trying to dismiss the thought.

Yet what could she do? She needed to get the drugs today—the lives of her patients depended on it.

She pulled up her phone, scrolling through her contacts, mentally listing off people she could trust to pick her up and take her to the private lab.

Old Mr. Thorne could have made the list, but he was an elderly man, and she didn’t want to burden him with the smoky, dusty atmosphere leading to her private lab. So he was out of the equation.

That left Gianna.

Taking a deep breath, she dialed her friend’s number. It was a relief to her now, that she had confided in the latter a few days ago; it made things easier.

"Hello, Gianna, are you free?" She asked when the call connected.

"Not really. I have a presentation coming up in a few minutes. Is there a problem?" Gianna replied, sounding rushed.
