Ottilie averted her gaze.
She couldn't help but think that Athena's two children looked so delicate and in need of protection.
"Ottilie, how are you feeling?" Athena asked from the front.
Ottilie looked at her and replied, "I think I might disappoint Martin and Mike. I can't be a regular little girl."
Athena was taken aback for a moment.
She was asking how Ottilie felt about going to school.
"A regular little girl?" She was puzzled.
"Like your daughter..." Ottilie lowered her gaze, struggling to find the right words.
She had learned many words and phrases recently, and she had read many books, but she couldn't recall any of them when she needed to.
"Soft... sweet... like a tiny sun," she described slowly and then looked up at Athena, shaking her head. "But I'm the opposite."
Athena was stunned.
After considering for a moment, she didn't rush to drive away.
Instead, she found a parking spot and stopped the car.
"Why are we stopping?" Ottilie seemed a bit confused. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Athena stretched lazily and massaged her shoulders. "I suddenly feel like having ice cream. Will you join me?"
Ottilie was obedient. "Sure."
After a short while, Athena took Ottilie to a nearby convenience store and bought two ice cream cones.
The weather was already cold, and holding the ice cream made their palms numb.
They sat under a big tree.
After a few bites, Athena suddenly asked, "You said you and Mia are opposites. What does that mean?"
Ottilie hadn't expected to continue the conversation while eating ice cream, but she was happy to talk about it.
"It's probably not a good thing. Your husband is wary of me, and Mrs. Evie Timberlake looks at me with fear. Martin and Mike also think I'm not a regular kid." She paused for a moment. "After getting to know many people, I realized that besides my father, no one thinks I'm a regular child."

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?...
