Chapter 1669: Seeing Your Good Wife
Nightfall.
Tonight is the day when Luther and Athena have arranged to meet.
The location was chosen by Athena and sent to his phone just before
he set off.
It was a spring night with a chill still in the air. Khebury was much
warmer than the Capital, and he opened the car window to let the wind
blow in, which wasn't biting.
Athena had just sent the address, and he opened the location system
to search for it.
The location was near the seaside, and as he remembered, there used
to be some private villas in that area. However, they should have been
abandoned a long time ago, and now that area is rarely visited. It is
said that it will be developed again in a period of time, but currently it is
an uninhabited area.
He felt that the address was familiar, and he searched his memory
carefully. Finally, he remembered that during his teenage years, when
the Warner family and the Ballard family were on good terms, he often
went to Christian's house to play after school, accompanied by Felix.
At that time, the three of them were good friends.
During the summer vacation, he and Felix had stayed at the Ballard
family's seaside villa for a while. There were mountains, seas, and
beaches, and the scenery was beautiful.
Yes, it seemed to be the address that Athena had sent.
He turned the steering wheel and made a U-turn at the intersection
ahead, and as he waited for the turn signal, his thoughts gradually
became vague.
Distant memories gradually floated up.
It seemed like the first ime he met Athena was at the Ballard family's
seaside villa.
That day, he and Felix were both at the Ballard family's seaside villa.
The three of them played together, and at the time, the housekeeper
brought a little girl. He remembered Christian being so happy.
Christian personally brought the little girl in and introduced her to them.
He said she was his sister, named Athena.
He also explained the origin of their names. Christian's name was
taken from Houyi shooting the sun, and Athena was the goddess of the
mountain witch in mythology, the daughter of the sky god.
That was the first time he saw Athena.
That year, he was fourteen years old, and Athena was ten years old,
still an undeveloped little girl.
He remembered that she was wearing a loose pink cherry blossom
robe, and her long black hair was already past her waist, combed
neatly, with a cherry blossom veil lightly tied in the center.
Her black and clear eyes, thin eyebrows like curved leaves, and a little
red lips. Her smile was sweet, and she looked like an exquisite
porcelain doll.
He had no interest in girls, and only glanced at her once and didn't look
again.
It was Felix who always had a way with women. He took the initiative to
greet Athena, get close to her, and invite her to play with them.
In his impression, Athena was always shy and spoke very little.
Every time they played together, Athena always wanted to sit next to
him. He kept avoiding her, but Athena always appeared in front of him
from time to time.
He could feel that Athena liked him. But who would care about a ten-
year-old girl's naive love?
After that summer vacation.
He never went to the Ballard family's seaside villa again. He usually
went to the Ballard Residence to play, but he rarely saw Athena.
During that time, he went abroad to study.
But every year, he would meet Athena once or twice, just a brief
glimpse. Year after year, Athena gradually grew into a teenage girl.
He knew that Athena was not Christian's biological sister and that they
had no blood relationship.
This was something Felix had accidentally heard from the servants of
the Ballard family.
Felix was talkative and couldn't keep a secret, so he immediately went
to ask Christian if it was true.
Christian admitted it frankly and said that it was better that they had no
blood relationship. He would always protect her.
Actually, at that time, he should have realized that Christian's excessive
care for Athena had already gone beyond the relationship between
siblings.
But the king had intentions, and the goddess had no dreams.
Athena liked him, and he knew it. Although he never mentioned it,
Athena's gaze towards him was always unusual. At the same time, he
also knew that Christian liked Athena.
So, after that, he reduced his visits to the Ballard Residence.
Avoiding contact with Athena.
If it weren't for that incident...
Everything should have been on track, and he and Felix would not have
fallen out with Christian, and the Warner family and the Ballard family
would not have had a falling out.
Luther fell into deep thought as he drove, the taillights flashing before
his eyes, dazzling him.
Suddenly, his phone rang, bringing him back to reality.
He quickly pressed the answer button, and it was Joyce's call.
But it was Anderson who was calling, "Daddy, when are you coming
home tonight?"
Luther spoke softly, âMaybe midnight. Why don't you go to bed first?"
"Okay, but there's a homework assignment at kindergarten that I need
to do with you. It's due tomorrow,â Anderson said. "But it's okay, it's just
a boring parent-child homework. I'll go find Mr. Arnold to deal with it."
Luther laughed, âI'm sorry. It's Daddy's fault for not fulfilling his
responsibilities. Daddy promises to come home on time tomorrow,
okay?"
"Forget it, who believes you,â Anderson's voice was full of disdain,
"Men's mouths are ghosts that deceive people.â
Luther's face darkened, "Who taught you to say these things?"
âIt's not Mommy. The kids at kindergarten all say that," Anderson
yawned, "I know, I won't wait for you tonight. I'll hang up."
"Wait, Andres, where's Mommy?" Luther asked. After attending the
kindergarten's open day event in the morning, he had sent Joyce to the
QR Design Company, and since then, Joyce had not contacted him.
"Mommy's working, using the computer to draw designs,â Anderson
said. "Do you want me to give the phone to her?"
Luther hesitated for a moment, "No need. Tell Mommy to rest early and
not work tonight.â
This woman, when she gets busy with work, she forgets to care about
him, which made him slightly unhappy.
"Okay. But I said it might not work. You'd better come back early and
take care of your good wife,â Anderson said before hanging up the
phone.
This child, what he said...
He looked at the time and accelerated towards the seaside villa. He just
wanted to solve everything as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, he finally arrived.
It was pitch black all around, and as far as the eye could see, it was a
desolate scene, with only one villa brightly lit, looking particularly eerie
in the dark.
Obviously, it had been renovated, and the security system was airtight.
He drove the car all the way to the front of the villa, and after being
recognized, the iron gate opened automatically, and then closed behind
him.
He walked into the villa with a frown and saw several high-end
bulletproof cars parked in the yard.
There were about a dozen black-clothed men standing on both sides,
looking organized and disciplined.
Seeing him coming, the black-clothed men bowed slightly.
The leader of the black-clothed men respectfully said, "Mr. Warner,
Miss Athena is waiting for you inside."
The two black-clothed men in front pushed open the door.
Luther's eyebrows furrowed, and he walked into the villa.
