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

Chapter 279: A Misunderstanding II

"What was the meaning of that?" Athena asked the remaining adults in the room, her annoyance thoroughly coloring her voice and tone, after she had sent Susan to take the twins to their rooms.

She had also instructed her young friend to pack up their things; they were returning to her house tonight. Enough of the interference from left, right and center!

"Why would you allow Ewan in here knowing the terms of the elders council, the terms we had agreed on in court?" She continued, her eyes resting on Gianna, who raised her hands in weak protest, seeing the raging anger in the former’s eyes.

"I thought you both had worked out more differences, considering how happy the children were to see him, despite their feeble attempt at holding long faces at first, and how smooth he had settled in. We thought..." Gianna paused, unsure of her next words.

"We are sorry, Athena. That will have to suffice now. I thought wrong. It’s obvious we all thought wrong."

She got to her feet after that. "I will help Susan to pack," She concluded, already walking toward the door that led to the passageway.

Athena didn’t bother calling her friend back or saying anything to the latter. She rather dumped her buttocks inside the closest sofa unceremoniously, still fuming.

A tense silence stayed and cloaked the room.

The two elderly adults exchanged furtive glances while watching Athena stew in her anger, and Old Mr. Thorne gestured that his wife left them alone.

The older woman didn’t waste any time. She dropped a kiss on her husband’s cheek and got to her feet. "Goodnight, Athena. I’ll be leaving you with Edward now... if you are hungry, there is food in the refrigerator... you can microwave some portions..."
