"A photo together?" Evie immediately frowned with disgust.
Aron fed Evie a bite of meat and continued, "He even wanted to go to my parents to tattle on us. So I helped him make a call to my parents."
"Your parents know too?" Evie's said alarmingly.
"Yes," Aron smiled, seemingly recalling something. "They are arguing about it at home right now."
Evie's mood rapidly plummeted. She worriedly asked, "Is he trying to make us divorce?"
"No," Aron hurriedly reassured her, "I just found out today that Grandpa had adopted a boy before, who is now my Big Uncle George."
Aron leaned in and whispered in Evie's ear, "Mom had a brief relationship with him when she was in her teens. Dad knows about it too..."
"What?" Evie's eyes widened in surprise.
Aron continued to tell Evie about the incident at the birthday banquet when Uncle showed up in flashy attire, which annoyed Dad. Today, with Brian stirring up trouble, it brought up the old issue again, leading to an argument.
"That Brian, he never does anything productive!" Evie gritted her teeth in frustration.
Aron's smile faded slightly. He said reassuringly, "Don't worry. He's already getting what he deserves."
"Huh?" Evie was puzzled.
Aron then fed her another bite of meat.
"Is everything going smoothly with your plan today?" Aron smoothly changed the topic.
Evie was taken aback. "How do you know what we're doing?"
"Probably has an inkling," Aron replied nonchalantly.
"I feel awkward discussing these mystical things with a physics prodigy," Evie grumbled.
Aron couldn't resist finding Evie endearing once again.
"Well, the prodigy has given Mrs. Timberlake special dispensation. So, even if she delves into some ancient superstitions, she can discuss them with the prodigy. Who knows. Maybe the prodigy might even offer some support from a physics standpoint," Aron said with a straight face.
Evie burst into laughter at his remark.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
