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

Chapter 293: Secret Operations V

"With the number of times you’ve saved us, Ewan, we should give you a Medal of Honor... maybe even an award..." Aiden joked as they boarded the aircraft that would take them to their next destination.

The mood was light, and Ewan chuckled in response, an eyebrow quirking up in curiosity as Aiden subtly gestured with a nod for him to take the seat next to Athena.

A brother’s code?

Ewan found it interesting. He never thought he would see the day when Aiden would look out for him like this.

With a gracious nod toward Aiden, Ewan took the seat beside Athena, who pretended not to notice the silent exchange.

The realization hit her like a gentle wave: Aiden had somehow managed to score Ewan good points. And she was beginning to understand why Ewan had seemed so irritated during their flight earlier.

Was he that eager to sit close to her?

Disposing of that thought, she forced herself to focus; friendship was all she could allow between herself and Ewan.

"As a matter of fact..." Aiden continued, filling the silence as the aircraft began preparations for takeoff. "I owe you some nice drinks, Ewan, for saving me from a heart attack... To be honest, I was so flustered seeing the capacity of mercenaries in there that I almost gave up on the mission, opting instead to make small talk and live to fight another day..."

Athena and Ewan joined in Aiden’s laughter, fully understanding where he was coming from.

"But really, Ewan, thank you. Don’t mind Athena’s anger; I’m sure she is grateful."
