Chapter 406: Ciara

"So, what were you discussing with my grandparents in my absence?" Athena turned to Ewan after a stretch of silence had dominated the car for a while.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, searching his face. "And don’t say nothing, because I heard your lift of voices before you lot had gone quiet... must have heard my footsteps."

Ewan shrugged casually, though his gaze lingered on the road ahead. "Nothing much. We were just talking about your recent engagement with Antonio. You didn’t inform them?"

Athena bashfully turned away, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "It was a secret affair. I had planned to tell them after the party tomorrow. Don’t want it on tabloids yet."

"If you say so," Ewan murmured, about to wind down the partition when Athena questioned his choice of words, eyes flashing.

"Do you think I am lying?"

"I don’t know, Athena. I don’t know." A pause, heavy and quiet. "But I guess, congratulations are in order."

And then he wound down the partition, leaving both of them to their thoughts.

Moments later, they were in the familiar street leading to the house cum lab.

"Don’t you think we can be followed?" Athena spoke, her eyes darting around, looking at the sparse number of people in the street. It was midday on a Thursday, so most people were bound to be at work or taking a nap.

"They have tried..."

Athena’s head snapped to Ewan with such speed that Ewan feared for her neck. "You mean the few times I have come here, I’ve been followed?"

Ewan nodded once. "They have never gotten past the Wix junction, though."
