Chapter 310: Warring Emotions III

"This should mean something, right?"

Silence greeted Ewan’s hope-filled question; he had to ask again, needing reassurance.

"Come on, guys, say something. It means something, right? Look..." He sidled closer to his friends, who were peering down at his phone’s screen, looking at the message Athena had sent a few minutes ago.

"Why would she ask about my well-being and if I have eaten if she doesn’t care? Maybe..."

"Not to burst your bubble, Ewan, but Athena is this way with everyone, especially her friends. And luckily for you, she even accepted you as one... I think you should let go of this unattainable dream of being her husband again and focus on being a good friend."

"Technically, I’m still her husband," Ewan muttered, refusing to accept Zane’s contribution.

However, Sandro’s glare cut that victory short—they had talked about throwing that marital clause around carelessly.

"I know. I know. I’m just... saying," He muttered, dumping his tired body onto the sofa.

"Not to be as harsh as Zane, but I suggest you not get your hopes up. Being her friend, really, I think that’s the best you should hope for. Besides, you get to see your kids more frequently. Isn’t that the case?" Sandro queried, not seeing Ewan’s probem.

Ewan nodded, but he didn’t add that he needed more. His friends would sing the tune of how impossible it would be for his need to be accomplished. It was best he kept his feelings to himself from now on.

"Wait, she is typing..." Sandro announced breathlessly, taking the space beside Ewan on the sofa.

Zane followed suit.

"What do you think she is going to send next?" He asked, peering closely at the phone, willing the three dancing dots on the screen to deliver a message already.

Ewan shrugged. "What do you guys think? I don’t have much experience in this field."

A pause.

"Zane, you should be the one giving us answers. You are more versed with women. What do you think?"

Zane scoffed at Sandro’s statement, but pressed his lips into a thin line while he considered the matter. "I think she is trying to explain herself, considering the fact that you didn’t reply to her previous messages. Women don’t like being left in a hanging loop; they don’t like loose ends either. She would want to smooth things over, make things clearer and less hurtful for you..."

He stated this in a calm and collected voice like a love professional would.

However, Ewan’s next act wasn’t what either of the males anticipated. He exclaimed, and then moved, as if stung by a bee, his fingers typing vigorously on the keyboard.
