She wore a loose pink kimono with cherry blossom patterns, her long black hair neatly arranged, with a light cherry blossom hairpin right in the middle, just as before. Hearing a sound behind her, Athena turned around.
With her round black eyes, delicate eyebrows, and rosy lips, more than ten years had passed, yet she still looked like a young girl, akin to an exquisite porcelain doll. Just as beautiful as before, a hint of gentle sweetness graced her lips.
Unfortunately, an angelic face with a demonic soul.
Seeing Luther, Athena lifted her chin slightly. "Indeed, you still remember this place," she said.
Her eyes seemed to pierce through the mist of time, bringing forth memories.
"Luther, do you remember? On my 18th birthday, you and your brother came here for camping. Finally, my brother agreed to let me see you once before he sent me abroad for my studies. Do you know how happy I was to see you again at that time?" Athena recounted the past.
"Yes, I let you see him because you promised me it would be the last time. Then you would obediently go abroad to study," came a deep voice from behind.
Everyone turned to look behind them, and to their surprise, the familiar voice belonged to Christian.
Dressed in a pure black suit with a black tie, Christian's enchanting and unrestrained appearance was unforgettable. It had been a long time since Felix and Luther had seen Christian. Although Christian had helped before, he had never shown himself. Once good friends in their youth, they had drifted apart, not keeping in touch and even becoming enemies.
Meeting again, the three of them felt awkward for a moment.
Christian cleared his throat and coldly fixed his gaze on Luther, then slowly spoke. "Since everyone here is unaware of the past, I may as well tell you all. When Athena was ten years old, after seeing Luther for the first time, she had been infatuated with him. Over the following eight years, they often had private contact, and the two of them had long been engaged."
Luther rudely interrupted, "Engaged? Are you dreaming? I never even took a second look at her."
At this, Athena's expression changed.
At that moment, Vicki quietly nudged Felix, speaking in a hushed tone only they could hear, "Athena was quite beautiful as a child. Did you never feel anything for her?"
