Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2220

Childbirth takes a brutal toll on a woman's body. Lindsay couldn't even bear to imagine what her own stomach must look like now.

After dinner, her younger brother barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up-he'd eaten far too much, as if he could somehow fill the constant ache of hunger by cramming in everything on the table.

Lindsay felt miserable too, but at least she didn't get sick.

When her brother came back, his face was drawn tight with regret.

She wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. "Alright, that's enough. If you eat any more, there won't be anything left for tomorrow."

He nodded sheepishly, glancing at Athena for reassurance.

Athena paid the bill, gathered up their boxed leftovers, and they all headed back to Lindsay's place.

Waiting for them at home were five hungry children. The youngest two were twins, just infants still, and even the oldest was only seven.

The twins needed to be carried, so Lindsay set the other kids up at the table with dinner and made up bottles for the babies.

Athena watched Lindsay rush frantically from one task to the next, while Lindsay's brother was only barely managing to coax bites of food into the kids' mouths. Athena let out a quiet sigh.

By the time the chaos died down, Lindsay looked utterly exhausted.

"Athena, there must be a reason you came to see me tonight, isn't there?"
