She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 428

After his call, Zayn returned to the kitchen and found Tina laughing with his younger siblings as they prepped dinner together. She fit in so naturally that it was hard to believe she was meeting his family for the first time.

His family clearly adored her-especially his mother, who looked at her with the warmth usually reserved for a daughter. Zayn couldn't help but marvel at how effortlessly Tina had bonded with everyone.

At dinner, Tina savored each bite of the spread on the dining table, her face lighting up with every taste. She kept praising the food, delighting everyone at the table.

"I love to see your smile. Isn't there a saying that happiness is contagious?" Claire said with a smile. "If you enjoy our food that much, you're welcome anytime. Having you here is a joy, Tina"

Clasping her bowl with both hands like a child, Tina beamed back. "Thank you! I love it here with your family!"

Tina then continued to enjoy the food, feeling completely satisfied and full.

After dinner, Tina insisted on helping Arthur clean up, saying it would aid digestion since she preferred not to sit down right after eating.

Once Tina, Harry, and the others left around 9 p.m., Athena suddenly remembered something important. "Oh, I nearly forgot!" she said. "Matthew's gifting each of us a 'Miracle' car. Every family member gets one, whether they drive or not."

She paused, letting the news sink in, then added, "He's also including one for Luna as a wedding gift for her and Jaden. As for Grandpa and Grandma, I suggested just getting one for them since they are always together."
