Hearing Athena mention George, Evie drooped her head.
"But what about you?" Evie asked dejectedly, "Aside from Byron, will you fall in love with and marry another man? Do you want to be alone forever until you're in your old age?"
Evie didn't think it was important whether one wanted to get married or not.
But if a person was in love with another person yet had to be alone until they had reached old age, that love would be like a poison that gnawed at their heart and tormented them all the time.
Athena said nothing.
It wasn't until Byron tricked her into going to the apartment that day that Athena knew what Byron's existence meant to her.
No matter how many years had passed, her body remained faithful to him.
But... what about her heart?
In all these years, she had never dated another man.
Was it because her heart was also loyal to Byron?
"I just want to live well at the moment. As for the future..." Athena took a deep breath before continuing, "I'll just go with the flow. The days are still long ahead, so there will always be changes."
Evie listened to her, and she suddenly remembered Aron's words earlier.
Yes, the days were still long, long enough to wipe out a person from one's heart to nothingness.
They didn't continue the conversation from there, and then both of them returned to their respective rooms.
When Evie came out of the shower, she saw that there were several missed calls on her phone, and all of them were from unknown numbers.
She deleted them one by one, then opened Aron's message on WhatsApp.
Aron had sent her a video.
It was a video of a chubby golden British shorthair kitten, and Aron's hand was rubbing against its upturned belly.
The kitten seemed to enjoy it very much, as it purred very loudly.
Evie replied: [Your cat?]
The text written on the upper side of the chat box indicated that the other person was still typing. Not long after, the message came: [My nephew bought it. After two days of raising it, he didn't like it anymore, so I brought it back. Its name is Fatty.]
Soon after, another video came.
In the video, Aron said, "Fatty, say hello to Mom."
The kitten meowed, and it sounded as if it really called her mom.
Evie couldn't hide the smile on her face and thought, "This golden retriever has a kitten as his son now."
It could be seen that Fatty had a good personality, as it kept purring to Aron and seeking his attention.

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?...
