Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Gullibe

Didn’t he know the answer to that already? Athena thought. Surely, he must have heard something either from Aiden or Zane.

Yet she stilled the urge to tell Ewan away. He had saved, not just her physical life, but her mental health.

By saving her, he had saved her children, and Gianna. Those three, she didn’t know what would have happened if Ewan hadn’t come in when he did.

So, she believed that he deserved some patience at least, as a reward, since she was sure he wouldn’t take anything from her. He hadn’t even taken her ’thanks’.

"Yes, I’ve been kidnapped before. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know the reason too. It’s what Aiden is still working on... it’s still a mystery to us..."

Ewan nodded his head slowly, a furrow marring his forehead. He was thinking.

"Were you..." He stammered, as his neck and cheeks flushed in mild embarrassment.

Athena saved him from the misery. "We were saved before that could happen."

She watched as he sighed in relief, right before his eyes widened a fraction.

"We?"

Athena cussed mentally. "Yes. The twins and I."

Athena inhaled sharply when she saw the tightening of Ewan’s fists. This reaction could only mean...

She met Ewan’s gaze. She wasn’t fast enough to cloak her nervousness on time, but Ewan made no mention of it, rather he asked if she felt pain on her thighs where he had seen the burnt marks earlier.

Athena shook her head warily. She had seen Ewan’s eyes, knew he was suspicious of the children’s paternity, yet why wasn’t he speaking about it?

"Can you give me the updates you have on the gang so that I can help with the search?"

Athen paused, then nodded. The more, the merrier. "I’ll have Aiden send you the details later. But you have to be careful. I don’t know if any of them had seen you when you saved me... if they did..."

Ewan waved her worry away. "You worry a lot, I’ll be fine. I didn’t get to this point in my life, by being too careless with factors called enemies. I’ll be fine really. I’m flattered by your concern though."

Athena huffed and looked away, when he smiled at her widely.

"I saw the press conference you held a few hours ago..."

"Yeah, what do you think about it?"

Athena shrugged her shoulders. "Nice move?"

Ewan chuckled softly, relaxing deeply on the chair. "That’s all you have to say?"

"Basically. I’ve heard it all before."

"Yeah." Ewan muttered, looking at the windows. "They are all truth though, full ones, not watered down versions."
