“I know you’re all over the place right now. I’ll give you one week. You’ll come back to me and give our daughter a real family.”

Lewis grinned smugly, his face full of confidence, like he had already won.

He said softly, “Athena, our daughter is adorable. She’s as beautiful as you.”

Athena couldn’t listen anymore.

She really was a mess, but not because she was debating whether to get back together with Lewis. She just had no idea what to do next.

She needed to calm down.

So she turned around and hurried off.

Lewis didn’t chase her. He just watched her leave, a faint smile curving on his lips. He was sure Athena would come back to him sooner or later.

Athena wandered aimlessly down the street, not sure where to go.

All she knew was that after leaving Lewis, it felt like a heavy stone had been lifted from her chest.

Ever since she learned that her daughter was alive, she had been desperate to see her. Before she found her, she had poured all that love into Teri, treating the little girl as if she were her

own.

Now her real daughter had appeared.

And Lewis was using her as leverage, trying to force Athena back to him.

She didn’t want that.

But she missed her daughter. She wanted to see her.

After walking until her legs ached, Athena pulled out her phone and called Kit. “Kit, I just ran into Lewis.”

“What did he want? Still won’t give up? Last time he tried to get back with you, he dragged along another woman’s kid. What a joke.”

Athena pressed her lips together.

This time, Lewis hadn’t brought Dion. He had brought their daughter.

He knew exactly what mattered most to her. He always did.

Her voice was hoarse. “Lewis found my daughter.”

“What?” Kit was stunned. “Are you sure? Did you actually see her?”

“No.”

“Then how do you know it’s true? He could just be lying to win you over. I used every method I could and still found nothing. There’s no way he found her that fast. You need to stay calm. It could be fake news.”

Athena listened and slowly calmed down.

He was right. She needed to keep her head clear. Lewis only said he had found their daughter. She had not seen her with her own eyes. He might just be bluffing.

But what if it was real?

Her face went pale, her mind spinning again. She didn’t know what to do.

Kit continued, “Athena, just wait and see. I’ll investigate and tell you the moment I find anything.”

“Thanks.”

“Come on, you don’t need to thank me. We’re close, remember?”

After hanging up, Athena felt a little better.

She decided to follow Kit’s advice and wait. Unless Lewis showed up with their daughter right in front of her, she would assume he was lying.

Taking a deep breath, she looked up at the sky.

She couldn’t go back to that house tonight. What if Lewis was still lurking there? Better to find somewhere else to stay.

Athena turned into a nearby hotel and booked a random room.

Once inside, she took a shower. When she came out, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Zaden.
