Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2219

Athena cradled Lindsay in her arms, lost for words. Fate could be so cruel- merciless not only to Lindsay, but to Kerwin as well.

Two good people, both destroyed.

When Lindsay had cried herself out, she slowly sat up and noticed the glass of water on the table had gone cold.

Athena let out a sigh. "How about I take you out to eat? We can pick up some things for the kids while we're at it."

Lindsay nodded, her eyes red again.

"Athena, I can't believe you still remembered where I live."

"I never dared to forget."

A heavy guilt settled over Athena. Before she came, her plan was to use Lindsay as a way into the Keller family, to get close to Marlon and finally take her revenge. But now, holding Lindsay while she sobbed, Athena found herself speechless, swallowed up by shame. She realized how thoroughly hatred had blinded her.

Lindsay didn't even own a decent coat; her clothes were patched and worn. As she was about to leave, the man on the couch finally stirred and came up behind them, a childlike innocence in his eyes.

"Sis, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to eat."
