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

Chapter 299: A Pick-Up

"Gianna!!"

Gianna’s eyes lit up at the sight of her friend.

She beamed, her smile wide as she waved her hands vigorously, excitement bubbling within her. She walked briskly, the polished tiles of the terminal shining under the bright evening light, as she approached Chelsea.

The tall, striking figure of Chelsea stood near a busy arrival area, her oversized sunglasses perched atop her nose, reflecting the vibrant atmosphere around them.

As Gianna drew closer, her laughter erupted as she took in Chelsea’s ensemble—a ridiculous gray pair of pants that seemed to be two sizes too big paired with a black oversized sweatshirt that sported a quirky portrait of Michael Jackson.

The portrait was more cartoonish than realistic, further complemented by a pair of sleek headphones draped around her neck like an accessory fresh off a runway.

Next to her sat a vibrant, cartoonish backpack adorned with stickers, as well as a trusty trolley that looked like it had traveled more than a few adventures with Chelsea. She looked less like a sophisticated traveler and more like an overzealous fan pulling together an eclectic look for a concert.

"Don’t you think you went a bit overboard with this disguise?" Gianna teased, a giggle escaping her lips as she embraced Chelsea.

The two rocked side to side as if they were teenagers enjoying a long-awaited reunion.

"Well, I’m not with the fierce Areso, and I don’t have any bodyguards hanging around me... and honestly, I just want to go home and rest... Not in the mood for some fans fanning...Where’s Athena? I thought she’d be coming with you..." Chelsea inquired, her sharp eyes darting around the terminal, searching for any sign of Athena amidst the throng of travelers rushing to their own destinations.

"She’s busy with some stubborn patients... you know how her work is..." Gianna replied, giving a slight shrug while she grabbed the handle of her trolley and the bag.

"Hey! I can carry that!" Chelsea protested with a playful pout, her finger pointing at the backpack, but Gianna quickly shifted away from her grasp, shaking her head in light-hearted defiance.

"I can see the tired lines around your face... just rest up, will you? I’m not complaining about carrying your stuff. The car is just over there." Gianna insisted, gesturing toward a sleek black vehicle parked in a more exclusive section of the terminal parking lot.

The car gleamed under the sun, its polished exterior reflecting the hustle and bustle around it.

Chelsea’s expression changed, her curiosity piqued. "A new car?" She asked, momentarily forgetting any silly grievances against Athena.

Gianna bit her lip, shaking her head as she felt a rush of nerves. "I borrowed it from a friend. Mine has some issues,"

Chelsea’s face twisted into a playful smirk. "Wow, you can drive it?"

Gianna let out a nervous laugh that didn’t go unnoticed by Chelsea. "Nope. My friend will be driving us today."

As they walked side by side toward the car, a flurry of curiosity stirred within Chelsea. Who was this friend? What kind of person made Gianna so nervous?
