“Why shouldn’t I? She kept her promise and calls me every day,” Athena shrugged, pleased by the look in Alpha Nick’s eyes. It was a strange look, but Athena could only hope it was for the best.

Alpha Nick’s curiosity increased. “Which number does she use? Her line doesn’t go through.”

Athena was happy to learn that he had tried reaching Sheila after the divorce, only to get blocked. “She must have blocked your number, and trust me, only a selected few.like me can reach her. Even if you get a new number, you still won’t reach her.”

It was just a fabrication to pique Alpha Nick’s interest, as Athena was not sure of it, but the look in Alpha Nick’s eyes was priceless. Seeing Athena all smiles and not answering the phone, he began to doubt that Sheila was the one calling.

“You are just playing pranks on me.”

Athena smiled evilly. “Let me do you a small favor. I will put the phone on speaker.” She did as said before asking,

“Hello dear, how are you today?”

Sheila’s voice from the end of the line was full of excitement. “I’m very well, ma’am. I might not be able to call you tomorrow because I will be very busy. How is your health? Are you taking good care of yourself? I got some gifts for you and will have them delivered…”

Athena pressed the speaker button again, denying Alpha Nick the opportunity of hearing more. Somehow, he couldn’t stand it and snatched the phone from her.

“Hey, I command you to return my phone.” Athena tried to get her phone back from her son, but Alpha Nick held it above her head as he was taller.

“I just want to have a word with her,” he said politely, speaking into the handset without pressing the speaker button. He didn’t want anyone to hear their exchanges.

“Sheila, why did you block my number? How have I offended you?”

At the end of the line, Sheila was furious. No wonder Athena took long in answering the phone. She should have
