His voice was feeling deeply emotional. It was evident in his voice.
Tears glistened in his eyes.
Athena watched him with a hint of helplessness in her eyes but still nodded in understanding.
The next moment, Byron tightly embraced her.
"Byron, let's make things right from now on," Athena whispered while hugging him back.
She didn't burden him with a list of conditions this time.
She realized it was futile to do so.
What was meant to happen had already transpired.
"Okay!"
Byron nodded fervently, burying his head in the crook of Athena's neck.
"I promise I won't disappoint you again," Byron choked tearfully.
"Mr. Crawford, how old are you that you still need to cry?" Athena gently patted his back.
"I was just too overwhelmed with joy." Byron paused. His voice filled with sorrow. "I was afraid that you would never forgive me, that you would stay cold towards me forever."
"To live day by day with someone distant would be an unbearably painful existence for me," Athena sighed, feeling helpless. "Byron, there are some things that I may never fully forgive. But I want to have a happy life with you."
Byron tightened his arms around her, burying his head deeper.
"I'm so sorry..." he whispered.
He had so many apologies to offer.
"Alright." Athena patted him. "You're hugging me so tightly that I can barely breathe."
Byron released his grip slightly but still held her close.
"Are you okay now?" Athena continued, "If you are, I'll go downstairs. Have some barbecue and cocktail. I'm exhausted from the whole day..."
"Just wait a bit longer. Who knows what that couple is up to." Byron raised his head and kissed Athena. "Let's have our sweet moment together."

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?...
