Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475: False Pretense

"Am I the only one that feels the familiarity pang...?"

Athena looked up from her phone—and from the piece of Ewan’s toasted bread she was eating. Ewan, who had left with her friends and the children to drop them off at their locations before stopping at his company.

She was mildly startled when she saw Spider step into the dining room, pluck a toasted slice from the large plate, and settle down with a small grin.

"Ewan’s bread..." he murmured, sniffing it before taking a bite. "I don’t think I can ever forget his own kind."

Athena was fast becoming a believer of that.

"No, you’re not the only one that feels it," she said, answering his question, dropping her phone on the table and the bread in her hand too.

"Have you found out where it’s originating from?"

Spider shook his head, chewing thoughtfully. "But I’m sure it will come in due time. I have a sharp brain."

Athena nodded in agreement, lips curving faintly. "As I have noticed. When you do, please let me know. Mine is fuzzy."

Spider, of course, knew what she was talking about. He had read up about her condition—hers and Ewan’s—and the fact that she had it worse, considering she was the one who had saved him from the river. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Of course," he said softly.

"So, have you chosen a cottage yet?" Athena picked up the toasted bread again, taking a slow bite and holding back a moan as its buttery goodness baptized her tongue and lingered.

Spider nodded, reaching for the flask to pour himself some coffee. He added sugar and milk in large quantities—so much that Athena tilted her head and wondered if that was still coffee at all. She watched him stir the mix and take a satisfied sip.

"It will be a good space for my work," he said, watching her over the rim of his mug. "How are you handling the influx of patients into the hospital? It’s like the gang, seeing you have the cure, is trying to burn you out."

Athena chuckled softly. "Lucky for me, I have competent doctors. Trustworthy this time. We run checks on them weekly."

Spider nodded approvingly. "That’s good. So as to sieve out any unwanted ones. I’ve told Aiden to do the same for the president’s men—including the secret security. We don’t know how deep the infiltration has gone..."

Athena bit her lower lip, her thoughts turning dark. Together with Aiden’s research on Antonio, was a report on the state of the president.

According to it, the family was recovering well—but that wasn’t exactly anxiety-relieving, considering the mole was that close.

Good thing Spider was awake now. He could help his friends in the dark web deal with this nonsense once and for all. Her grandfather had already promised to bear the charges.

"Thank you. I’m sure he will do that," she finally said, noticing Spider staring at her—his eyes narrowing slightly as if trying to remember something.

She chuckled and pushed away from the chair, getting to her feet. "I’m sure it will come in due time. Till then, have a nice day."

He laughed and wished her the same. She could feel his gaze following her until she rounded the bend and left the house, en route to the lab.

Stella had assured her that things were under control in the hospital.
