Chapter 207
After dinner, Arthur put on his earbuds and listened to music while washing the dishes. From time to time, he would shake his head, sway his hips, and dance on the spot, seeming to enjoy washing the dishes.
The others were all cozied up in the living room.
Wesley brought water for Claire to wash her feet. While Claire was squinting and soaking her feet, he sat behind her and gave her a shoulder massage.
Maria was holding Josie, who was sitting on her lap. Tliey were tacking while watching a drama. From time to time, they would curse together, looking quite engrossed in watching it.
Jaden sat on a recliner in the corner and read, completely unaffected by the sound of the television or anyone else’s voice at

Alaric sat cross–legged on the sofa, holding a phone and playing a game with an animated expressio
As for Athena, she was sitting at the bar, working on her computer.
This somewhat messy scene was surprisingly harmonious
However, Athena kept feeling that someone was watching her, but when she went out to observe, that feeling disappeared.
She thought, ‘Is it just my imagination? I think it’s better to be a little cautious!
After a night passed, the holiday was over, and the family went back to their own busy routines, making it hard to see each other during the day.
Athena initially wanted to stay at home and be a lazy bum, but then she remembered that she had not been to school in over a month. She thought she should at least show up, or it would be embarrassing
Her appearance caused a stir in the class.
A group of classmates surrounded her. They had lots of things to tell her.
“You’re the pride of our class. You haven’t been here for so long. We even suspected that you transferred schools. The teacher said you were on leave, but we weren’t really convinced
“Athena, this formula is too complicated. No matter how the professor explains it, I just don’t get it. Can you explain it to
“This question is beyond the syllabus, but it might be tested at the end of the semester. Help us solve it.”
When the professor walked into the classroom, he saw Athena explaining the tricky points to a group of classmates.
He stood behind the students and listened for a while. Then, he muttered to himself, “She explains it better than I do. I’ll let Athena take over this class.”
Then, he left just like that.
Afterward, he even posted about it in the teacher’s group chat.
Other professors chimed in. [Young people have a common language and communicate easily. I won’t teach today’s class either. I’ll leave it to Athena.]
Just like that, Athena helped the professors work for free for the entire day.

As soon as the afternoon class ended, she left decisively. She decided to only come to school for one day a week from then on to avoid continuing to work for the professors.
However, just as she walked out of the school building, the feeling of being watched returned.
The recurring feeling can’t be just my imagination,” she said. “Otherwise, I’d have to diagnose myself.”
She bought an ice cream from a stand and observed her surroundings as she ate.
It was the same situation.
There were many students around and plenty of hidden spots. She couldn’t spot anyone staring at her.
But she was not antsy at all.
When she arrived at the parking lot, she sat in the driver’s seat and wound down the windows on both sides halfway. Then, she took out a pair of oversized brown–colored glasses and placed them on the bridge of her nose.
After that, she picked up her phone and pretended to be on a call, yet she was secretly observing her surroundings through her glasses, looking for people who tailed after her.
The glasses she was wearing were not ordinary glasses. Instead, they were all–purpose glasses with magnifying glasses, binoculars, microscope, night vision goggles, features for sun protection and impact resistance, as well as many other functions. They were very powerful.
She was now in the “binoculars” mode of this pair of glasses. She could see everything clearly up to 600 feet..
While observing, she thought, “If I were the stalker, where would I hide to watch me!
Soon, she identified several spots suitable for hiding and peeping.
Her gaze landed on those spots and she observed them carefully.
Then, she found herself staring into two dark lenses of a pair of binoculars.
It was so awkward….
She tried to pretend she hadn’t seen
n that person,
but she knew he had also noticed the glasses she used to look at him.
No one could fool anyone.
“What should I do? she thought.
Three seconds later, Athena yanked off her glasses, pushed open the car door, and rushed out. Her speed was comparable to the speed of a hungry tiger as it pounced on a sheep.
However, the other person reacted quickly too.
By the time she bypassed more than ten cars and a few big trees, she finally spotted his hiding place on the third floor with her naked eye. He had already rushed out of the small building and darted into the woods like a rabbit.
Currently, they were about 100 feet apart
Under normal circumstances, Athena would definitely be able to catch up to 1
But he was also quite fast. Besides, the small woods ahead were relatively dense and dimly lit. She was not familiar with this area. By the time she rushed into the woods, his figure had already disappeared after moving to the other side of the woods.
Unable to catch up, Athena could only confirm that the person was a young man.
