Nightfall.
Tonight is the day when Luther and Athena have arranged to meet.
The location was chosen by Athena and sent to his phone just before he set off.
It was a spring night with a chill still in the air. Khebury was much warmer than the Capital, and he opened the car window to let the wind blow in, which wasn’t biting.
Athena had just sent the address, and he opened the location system to search for it.
The location was near the seaside, and as he remembered, there used to be some private vis in that area. However, they should have been abandoned a long time ago, and now that area is rarely visited. It is said that it will be developed again in a period of time, but currently it is an uninhabited area.
He felt that the address was familiar, and he searched his memory carefully. Finally, he remembered that during his teenage years, when the Warner family and the Bard family were on good terms, he often went to Christian’s house to y after school, apanied by Felix.
At that time, the three of them were good friends.
During the summer vacation, he and Felix had stayed at the Bard family’s seaside vi for a while. There were mountains, seas, and beaches, and the scenery was beautiful.
Yes, it seemed to be the address that Athena had sent.
He turned the steering wheel and made a U-turn at the intersection ahead, and as he waited for the turn signal, his thoughts gradually became vague.
Distant memories gradually floated up.
It seemed like the first time he met Athena was at the Bard family’s seaside vi.
That day, he and Felix were both at the Bard family’s seaside vi.
The three of them yed together, and at the time, the housekeeper brought a little girl. He remembered Christian being so happy.
Christian personally brought the little girl in and introduced her to them.
He said she was his sister, named Athena.
He also exined the origin of their names. Christian’s name was taken from Houyi shooting the sun, and Athena was the goddess of the mountain witch in mythology, the daughter of the sky god.
That was the first time he saw Athena.
That year, he was fourteen years old, and Athena was ten years old, still an undeveloped little girl.
He remembered that she was wearing a loose pink cherry blossom robe, and her long ck hair was already past her waist,bed neatly, with a cherry blossom veil lightly tied in the center.
Her ck and clear eyes, thin eyebrows like curved leaves, and a little red lips. Her smile was sweet, and she looked like an exquisite porcin doll.
He had no interest in girls, and only nced at her once and didn’t look again.
It was Felix who always had a way with women. He took the initiative to greet Athena, get close to her, and invite her to y with them.
In his impression, Athena was always shy and spoke very little.
Every time they yed together, Athena always wanted to sit next to him. He kept avoiding her, but Athena always appeared in front of him from time to time.
He could feel that Athena liked him. But who would care about a ten-year-old girl’s naive love?
After that summer vacation.
He never went to the Bard family’s seaside vi again. He usually went to the Bard Residence to y, but he rarely saw Athena.
During that time, he went abroad to study.
But every year, he would meet Athena once or twice, just a brief glimpse. Year after year, Athena gradually grew into a teenage girl.
He knew that Athena was not Christian’s biological sister and that they had no blood rtionship.
This was something Felix had identally heard from the servants of the Bard family.
Felix was talkative and couldn’t keep a secret, so he immediately went to ask Christian if it was true.
Christian admitted it frankly and said that it was better that they had no blood rtionship. He would always protect her.
Actually, at that time, he should have realized that Christian’s excessive care for Athena had already gone beyond the rtionship between siblings.
But the king had intentions, and the goddess had no dreams.
Athena liked him, and he knew it. Although he never mentioned it, Athena’s gaze towards him was always unusual. At the same time, he also knew that Christian liked Athena.
So, after that, he reduced his visits to the Bard Residence.
Avoiding contact with Athena.
If it weren’t for that incident…
Everything should have been on track, and he and Felix would not have fallen out with Christian, and the Warner family and the Bard family would not have had a falling out.
Luther fell into deep thought as he drove, the taillights shing before his eyes, dazzling him.
Suddenly, his phone rang, bringing him back to reality.
He quickly pressed the answer button, and it was Joyce’s call.
But it was Anderson who was calling, “Daddy, when are youing home tonight?”
Luther spoke softly, “Maybe midnight. Why don’t you go to bed first?”
“Okay, but there’s a homework assignment at kindergarten that I need to do with you. It’s due tomorrow,” Anderson said. “But it’s okay, it’s just a boring parent-child homework. I’ll go find Mr. Arnold to deal with it.”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Lutherughed, “I’m sorry. It’s Daddy’s fault for not fulfilling his responsibilities. Daddy promises toe home on time tomorrow, okay?”
“Forget it, who believes you,” Anderson’s voice was full of disdain, “Men’s mouths are ghosts that deceive people.”
Luther’s face darkened, “Who taught you to say these things?”
“It’s not Mommy. The kids at kindergarten all say that,” Anderson yawned, “I know, I won’t wait for you tonight. I’ll hang up.”
“Wait, Andres, where’s Mommy?” Luther asked. After attending the kindergarten’s open day event in the morning, he had sent Joyce to the QR Design Company, and since then, Joyce had not contacted him.
“Mommy’s working, using theputer to draw designs,” Anderson said. “Do you want me to give the phone to her?”
Luther hesitated for a moment, “No need. Tell Mommy to rest early and not work tonight.”
This woman, when she gets busy with work, she forgets to care about him, which made him slightly unhappy.
“Okay. But I said it might not work. You’d bettere back early and take care of your good wife,” Anderson said before hanging up the phone.
This child, what he said…
He looked at the time and elerated towards the seaside vi. He just wanted to solve everything as soon as possible.
Half an hourter, he finally arrived.
It was pitch ck all around, and as far as the eye could see, it was a deste scene, with only one vi brightly lit, looking particrly eerie in the dark.
Obviously, it had been renovated, and the security system was airtight.
He drove the car all the way to the front of the vi, and after being recognized, the iron gate opened automatically, and then closed behind him.
He walked into the vi with a frown and saw several high-end bulletproof cars parked in the yard.
There were about a dozen ck-clothed men standing on both sides, looking organized and disciplined.
Seeing himing, the ck-clothed men bowed slightly.
The leader of the ck-clothed men respectfully said, “Mr. Warner, Miss Athena is waiting for you inside.”
The two ck-clothed men in front pushed open the door.
Luther’s eyebrows furrowed, and he walked into the vi.
