Byron gently wiped away the tears that slid down Athena's cheeks and said, "The genetic defect is not your fault."
Athena pursed her lips tightly.
Then she hugged Byron's waist.
Byron froze at that moment.
"Just for a while, 15 seconds..." Athena buried her head in Byron's lower abdomen, sobbing.
Byron didn't speak.
And he also did not move.
After hugging Byron, Athena cried in a very low voice.
Byron was heartbroken.
He thought, "Is this the first time Athena has shown weakness to me?
In the past, as a substitute, when Athena was by my side, she always pretended to show weakness to me.
Later, I threatened her to do so.
So what now?
Is it really because of Aiden, and she was at a loss and afraid?"
Byron didn't know.
He thought that he never understood Athena's true thoughts.
No one counted the time. Both of them didn’t know how long it had passed.
Athena took the initiative to let go of Byron.
She lowered her head and wiped away her tears. "You can stay with Aiden for a while. I'm about to get ready for the matching."
"OK."
Byron responded.
Athena looked at Aiden, leaned over, and kissed his forehead. Then, she got up to leave.
Byron stood where he was. When the door was closed, he looked back.
It was outside the door.
Except for Rose, no one else was there.
"Mia went to buy lunch for you and Byron." Rose looked at Athena and said.
Athena had cried, but she looked calm.

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?...
