Chapter 142 The Dream She Can’t Forget

Lewis’s face darkened when he heard those words.

“Mind your own business!”

He pulled his hand free and turned to leave.

He was the one who had done wrong. No matter how Athena treated him, he deserved it. He was willing to do whatever it took to win her back!

Nina watched Lewis leave, grinding her teeth so hard they might crack.

Being Lewis’s wife was truly frustrating!

Nina turned and saw that Dion was still standing there in a daze. She approached him. “Everyone’s gone, Dion. Let’s head back too.”

Nina reached out to take Dion’s hand.

But Dion coldly avoided her touch.

He snorted softly, then spun around and bolted. Nina stood there frozen in place. By the time she snapped back to reality, Dion had vanished.

Nina couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Damn it!

Lewis ignored her, and now even Dion was doing the same. She was supposed to be Dion’s mother, yet both of them were obsessing over Athena!

She would never let Athena get away with this!

Athena and Zaden returned to their rooms, took hot showers, and changed into comfortable clothes. Only then did they feel truly alive again.

Earlier, Linda had brought them some food out of guilt.

Athena was waiting for Zaden to finish his shower so they could eat together.

Soon Zaden emerged, hair still dripping wet. His casual loungewear gave him a relaxed, lazy

air.

Suddenly Athena remembered what had happened in her dream last night.

Had she done something embarrassing to Zaden?

Thinking it was all a dream, she had been bold enough to touch everything without restraint. Had she groped Zaden too?

Yikes! This terrifying possibility made Athena stop that train of thought immediately.

She stole a glance at him, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Zaden noticed Athena stealing glances at him. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Nothing, nothing at all!” Athena immediately pushed the food toward Zaden. “You must be hungry too. Linda just brought this over. Have some.”

Zaden took it and ate with an innate elegance.

His every move he made reflected his refined upbringing, making him very pleasant to watch. Even though he was quite hungry, he didn’t rush his food. Unlike Athena, who practically inhaled her food.

After both had eaten their fill, Athena stood up.

“You didn’t rest well last night. Go get some sleep.”

“What about you?” Zaden looked up and asked.

“Then I’ll … sleep too?” Athena was afraid he might feel uneasy sleeping alone, so she went along with it. After all, they’d just come down from the mountain. Nothing would happen for

now.

Athena looked at Teri. “Sweetheart, will you sleep with me?” she asked.

Teri nodded eagerly!

As long as she could sleep with her mother, she’d pretend to be sleepy. Even if she wasn’t tired

at all!

Athena took Teri’s hand and walked toward their room. Zaden opened the door to the adjacent room. Both stopped at the same time, glancing at each other.

“Good night.”

“Good night, sleep well.”

Athena fell asleep quickly, her breathing becoming steady. Without makeup, she looked like an
