After Athena finished speaking, she smiled lightly. “Of course, life’s full of surprises.”

Like what’s going on between her and Zaden right now was also one of those surprises.

Who would have thought the two of them would actually end up getting married, all because of Teri?

She had already been married once and a second marriage didn’t sound that bad anymore. Besides, Zaden had promised to make it up to her.

Thinking of that, Athena smiled again.

“I’m going to bed. Do you still have something to say?”

Zaden shook his head. “No, good night.”

Athena returned to her room and closed the door. Zaden slowly looked away. He frowned slightly, looking confused.

It seemed that not every woman needed another man after a divorce.

At least Athena won’t.

Back in her room, Athena was just about to go to sleep when her phone lit up with a new

message.

It was from Harriet.

“Athena, you have to help me!” She added a crying emoji following the message too.

Athena immediately became anxious. She quickly called Harriet and asked, “What happened?”

“Ugh, my mom wants me to go back to the hospital to work! You know how much I hate that. It’s not easy that I finally got a chance to do something I actually love!”

Her voice turned whiny and tearful. “She even said she’ll make me assist you! Can you believe it? Am I even her daughter?”

Harriet had studied medicine with her before, but only because her mother, Kate, forced her

1. to.

Her real dream was to be a successful lawyer.

“Wait, what? Why is your mom forcing you back to the hospital? Didn’t you open your own law

“Ugh, don’t even get me started!” Harriet sighed softly. “You know, a business without any connections or advertising is just for show.

“I had already convinced her to let me stop working at the hospital, but my law firm has been losing money for two months straight. I was thinking of just closing it for now and reopening it when I had a better chance, but my mom found out and is determined to make me go back to the hospital full–time!

“Part of it has a lot to do with you! You have to help me!”

Athena was speechless. “How exactly am I supposed to help you? I’m still here at the summer camp with Teri.”

“That’s easy! Just talk to Zaden for me. If he tells my mom to let me stay, she’ll definitely listen! Please, Athena, he’ll listen to you! I’m begging you!”

Athena couldn’t help but laugh. Where did Harriet get the idea that Zaden listened to her?

Even she wasn’t confident about that.

“Alright, I’m counting on you then! I’ll treat you to dinner later. I promise!”

Before Athena could even respond, Harriet hung up. Athena stared at her phone, completely dumbfounded, then sighed helplessly.

Well, Harriet was her best friend after all.

Even if success wasn’t guaranteed, she’d still try.

Athena got up and opened the room door again, wanting to go find Zaden, but he was no longer in the living room.

He must have gone back to his own room.

Athena walked over and gently knocked on the door. “Zaden, are you there?”

“Come in,” he answered with his deep voice.

Athena opened the door and stepped in.

Zaden was standing on the balcony. He turned his head to look at Athena. “Is something wrong?”

“Were you about to sleep? Can I bother you for another five minutes?”
