Chapter 168 You Have to Tell Me the Truth

Oh no, am I actually falling for Zaden?

Finished

Just then, Athena remembered–Zaden only said he had an ex who dumped him, but he never actually said he was waiting for her!

Whatever. I can ask Harriet about it tomorrow.

She never expected Harriet to hide something so important. If Zaden really did have another woman in his heart, then no matter how much she liked Teri, she never would have agreed to marry Zaden.

The more she thought about it, the more awake she became, feeling even more restless than before.

What a disaster.

She could feel Zaden’s presence beside her. He was probably watching her, so she had no choice but to keep pretending to sleep.

Athena wished she could slap herself.

Why did I have to ask Zaden to stay? What was I thinking?

Athena had no idea when she finally fell asleep, but by the time she woke up, it was already evening. The sky outside the window was glowing with fiery clouds, looking gorgeous.

Teri had already been brought back by Zaden. She was sitting at the table, eating quietly.

Athena called out, “Teri.”

When Teri saw Athena awake, she immediately jumped down from her chair and ran over to hug Athena’s leg. Athena knew Teri was worried about her, so she gave a soft laugh. “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry.”

Zaden said, “Teri went in to check on you several times while you were sleeping.”

Athena was touched when she heard that.

She hadn’t realized Teri cared about her so much.

Athena took Teri’s hand and went to sit down. Zaden looked at her and said, “Lewis has come around and admitted everything he did.”

Athena frowned at the mention of Lewis.

She really didn’t know what to say about him anymore.

She just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

Zaden continued, I’ll have Storm Group’s legal team file charges against him. He’ll get what he deserves.”

Athena heard the protectiveness in his tone and joked, “I guess hanging onto you was the right choice. Is there anything you can’t fix?”

Zaden smiled back.

Athena sighed and glanced at Teri. “Why hasn’t Teri changed at all? She still won’t talk?”

Lately, even though they gave it their all in the games, and Teri did interact with other kids, she didn’t seem to be making any real progress.

Logically, she should’ve made some progress by now.

Teri heard Athena’s question and snuck a nervous look at Zaden.

She had already started talking again, but she had been hiding it from Athena. If Athena found out, she’d probably be pretty mad.

Nervousness flickered in Teri’s eyes.

Zaden’s face showed no sign of emotion. He said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Teri has been really happy lately. Even if she isn’t talking, it’s still great for her. That’s already a win.”

Athena thought about it and decided Zaden made sense.

She smiled. “All right, then!”

They’d already been at the summer camp for 2 weeks, with only I more week to go. After that, they would be back to their regular lives.

Athena stopped worrying about it and said, “We have 1 week left. Let’s give it our all and win the next competition!”

After dinner, Athena got a call from Harriet.

She’d actually been wanting to ask Harriet something, so she went to her room to answer.

“Harriet.”

“Athena, are you okay? Teri told me you slept all day, so I didn’t want to bother you. Lewis is

Harriet immediately went into full gossip mode, complaining nonstop to Athena.

“I’m fine now. Just a little shaken.”

Harriet already knew she was okay. Since she always had Teri reporting back, she was always up to date on Athena’s situation.
