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

Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Day Out

"You are out with Ewan and the kids? After you announced to the whole world that you chose Antonio over your past?"

Aiden’s incredulous tone over the phone had Athena sighing weakly as she watched the kids clamber onto a merry‑go‑round with Ewan. The whole world was just her little family in the sitting room, but Aiden was making it sound like she’d staged a press conference.

He even sounded like Gianna, who had been sulking ever since then; hating to have been absent from home during that supposedly defining moment. Her best friend had even come home earlier than usual yesterday, popping in at intervals during the same, thirsting for drama.

Unfortunately for Gianna, Ewan hadn’t shown up — not until this afternoon... to take the children to the park.

He still hadn’t looked at her — not really. Except to send her a polite greeting and ask for Kathleen’s toy.

"Athena Caddels?"

Athena opened her mouth to give Aiden the same dry answer she’d given her friends when asked about this outing, but Ewan beckoned at that moment.

"Are you coming?"

And just like that, the words — saliva included — dried up in her mouth.

This was the first time he’d smiled at her since the incident. And that smile... boy, did it cause her heart to race.

"Yes, coming!" Her voice sounded far chirpier than she would have liked, and when Aiden chuckled in her ear, she knew she’d been right on the money.

She only hoped Ewan was too preoccupied with the children to notice she was suddenly flustered around him. But he turned away the moment she ended the call and started toward him, climbing onto a horse without waiting for her.

Not so gentlemanly now, are we?

She held back a scoff and climbed onto an adjacent horse as gracefully as she could — right before the recreational machine roared to life. The laughter of her children as the equipment spun them around was enough to keep a permanent smile on her face... and to keep the nerves at bay.

However, it couldn’t keep Ewan out of her mind. Not with him teasing and laughing alongside the kids. Every so often, when she caught herself staring, she would forcefully remember the sex with Antonio, and the constant flurry of texts they’d been exchanging ever since — love texts, photo texts, morning, noon, and night.

So much for the space she’d once clamored for.
