Lewis didn’t even glance at Nina. “You two better keep it down or get out!” he said coldly.

He turned around and went back to his room, slamming the door shut.

Dion saw Nina’s attempt to play victim fail. He sneered mockingly, “Daddy doesn’t love you anymore. He loves Mommy the most!”

Nina was about to explode with rage.

“I’ve told you a hundred times I’m your real mother!”

“You’re not!”

“Say that one more time and you’ll regret it.”

“You’re not my real mother. My Mommy is Athena.”

Athena and Teri were reading books when Athena vaguely heard shouting from next door. She paused.

It sounded like Dion.

Teri noticed Athena getting distracted. She reached out and tugged at her.

Athena quickly snapped back to attention and smiled. “Let’s keep reading.”

Dion had nothing to do with her anymore.

She shouldn’t be stuck dwelling on the past.

By now, Nina and Dion had argued until their faces were red. Nina didn’t want to keep bickering with a kid.

She asked, “Let’s stop fighting. Let me ask you. Do you want to go back to Athena’s side?”

Dion hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He wanted to go back to his mother, but he knew she didn’t like him anymore. The realization brought on a fresh round of tears.

“You useless brat! Will crying solve anything?

“If you want Athena to pay attention to you, you have to listen to me!”

Dion held back his tears, looking at Nina warily.

The last time he’d trusted Nina, she had tricked him, and it ended with his mother being angry at him.

Dion turned his back to her. “You’re lying. I won’t believe you anymore!”

Seeing Dion’s dismissive attitude, Nina had the urge to strangle him. She should never have given birth to Dion in the first place!

But if Dion kept acting like this, it wouldn’t benefit her position in the Belmonts or help her deal with Athena.

Dion was Lewis’s only son. Now Lewis was cold toward her and wouldn’t even touch her. She had to make good use of Dion, the Belmonts‘ only grandson!

Nina patiently soothed him. “Dion, I’m telling the truth. You’re my son. Would I really hurt you? If you’re happier being with Athena, then I’ll be happy for

you too.”

Dion was still young and green, after all.

Hearing Nina’s words, he slowly lowered his guard.

After thinking it over, he looked up and snorted coldly. “You said it yourself. You have to help me win Mommy back.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word.”

A dark look flashed in Nina’s eyes. She had to destroy Athena.

That way this father and son would stop obsessing over her!

Since there wasn’t much to do, Athena spent the day reading with Teri while Zaden worked on his laptop, attending to business.

The two didn’t disturb each other.

The day passed, quiet and content.

In the evening, Athena was getting ready for bed. Teri grabbed her hand, blinking up at her with a very cute expression.

“Hmm? Teri, what’s wrong?” Athena looked at Teri in confusion.

Teri got up from the bed and took Athena’s hand. She led her out of the room.

“Teri, where are you taking me?”

To Athena’s surprise, Teri led her to Zaden’s room. Athena quickly tried to stop her. “Teri, wait! This is your Daddy’s room.”

Before she could stop her, Teri opened the door and went inside.

Athena saw Zaden standing by the bed, his gaze focused downward. Following his line of sight, she discovered there was a large ink stain on his bed.

“What happened?”

Zaden looked helpless as he turned to Teri. “Teri, did you spill ink on the sheets?”

Teri lowered her head, acknowledging her actions.

Athena was afraid Zaden would blame Teri. She quickly said, “It’s okay. Teri probably didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t scold her.”

She stepped forward to check the situation.

“It’s soaked all the way through. We’ll have to change the entire sheet.”

Athena looked around but couldn’t find any spare linens.

She said helplessly, “It looks like they didn’t give us any extra bedding.”

Teri suddenly stepped forward and took Zaden’s hand, then pulled him into Athena’s room. She pointed at Athena’s bed.

Her meaning was clear. She wanted Zaden to sleep here.

Zaden raised an eyebrow. “Teri, do you want me to sleep here tonight?” he asked.

Teri immediately nodded.
