Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Bringing Gifts

For a full minute, there was deafening silence in Athena’s living room.

The twins stood together, with Kendra behind them, as they darted glances between Ewan and their mother.

Ewan was befuddled, staring at the twins—enamored by their resemblance, especially the male child.

He almost smacked himself on the head when a realization suddenly dawned on him.

When Zane had said that he would miss the twins, he was talking about these kids. Athena’s kids.

Ewan hadn’t known they were twins, because Sandro’s report hadn’t clarified that.

Who was the kid behind them?

Ewan tried to make out the features of little girl behind the twins, but for some reason, his eyes kept returning to the twins, especially the male one.

The male one, who had the demeanor of someone familiar...

Ewan cocked his head slightly, to his right side. Who did the boy remind him of?

Maybe if he could remember the person, then he would be able to figure out who Athena’s husband was.

Thinking of Athena’s husband made him look at Athena.

She was staring at him, thoroughly startled, while remaining immobile with the tray in her hand.

Was she that surprised to see him? Was this an after effect of the time they had spent in the elevator?

Ewan refused to let his smile show. And here he was, thinking he was the only one that didn’t sleep last night.

"Hey... sorry for dropping in like this, I just had to do it, to thank you for a whole lot... for..." His words kickstarted Athena into motion again.

She hurriedly kept the tray on the center table, and walked up to Ewan with a no smiley face.

She looked at the gift bags he was carrying, and frowned.

"What’s all this?"

Ewan has since stopped talking.

He shrugged his shoulders now. "Gift items. To thank you for accepting to be my doctor, for helping my company stand, and for not hating me...totally..."

Nathaniel coughed dramatically, causing Athena to take her lips in. She needed to get Ewan out of here.

Quickly, she took the four gift bags he presented to her, and dropped it on the table too. "Thank you."

"There are some for the children too... although I wasn’t aware you had a third one. She looks different from the twins..."

Athena was stomped. Why was fate straining to rain on her parade?

"She is the children’s friend. Thanks again for the gift." She turned to the children. "Children, thank Mr. Ewan for the gifts..."

Ewan noticed the twins glare at him, instead.

He piqued his eyebrows at the show of welcome. Seeing as they weren’t receptive, their friend wasn’t too.

They didn’t like him? Were they thinking he was making a pass at their mother?

He sidestepped Athena, who suddenly became stone, and knelt before them.

"I’m sorry, children. I’m not sure for what, but I’m sorry..."

Ewan didn’t understand himself either. Why was he apologizing?

Although looking at the twins made his head hurt, he was prepared to be on their good side, just as Zane was.

Maybe he could be their deputy godfather?

Ewan was immediately stupefied at his thoughts. What was he talking about now?! Why did he want the children to like him?

The more the twins looked at him, as if trying to decipher his act, the more his head hurt.

He tried to look away, but their eyes beckoned on him.

Who did they remind him of? He thought, inhaling sharply when Athena tapped him on the left shoulder impatiently.

"You can leave now, Ewan. It will take a while for them to accept your presence as my business partner. Why are you even apologizing?"

"Beats me..." He sighed, got to his feet, and sat on the sofa, inhaling sharply when the sound of plastic breaking was heard.

With widened eyes, he looked at the children.

The twins were glaring at him again.

"You just broke our toys, Mr Ewan..."

Ewan nodded sheepishly, and gingerly got up from the sofa.

And when he looked down at the sofa, he noticed the green broken toy. How hadn’t he seen that?
