They reconciled.
Byron used to be greedy.
But tonight, he was unusually well-behaved.
Holding Athena in his arms, he thought about the wedding plans and quickly fell asleep.
He slept soundly, even having a dream related to the wedding.
In the dream, both he and Athena looked like they did ten years ago.
Under a clear blue sky, they stood amidst an endless sea of flowers.
Athena wore a pristine white wedding gown, and Alivia witnessed them solemnly pledge eternal care, companionship, and loyalty to each other.
Upon waking up, Byron looked at the still-sleeping Athena in his arms.
His eyes turned red.
And there was a pang of pain in his chest.
Ten years...
How many decades could one lifetime have?
Byron got up gently.
Martin was waiting downstairs with his people.
His face was swollen severely after a night.
The fight yesterday had taken its toll on his appearance, making his head look several sizes larger.
Byron was shocked when seeing him.
Martin stubbornly said, "That guy ambushed me!"
Byron nodded.
"Mr. Crawford, about Simon..."
"Chelsea will handle this matter," Byron said indifferently. "Instruct everyone to follow her orders."
"Got it!"
Martin didn't question the instruction at all.
He knew their boss was ruthless, and the boss' wife was equally formidable.
"You're in bad shape. Take some rest," Byron said, glancing at Martin again.
Martin felt somewhat touched.
Earlier, he broke two ribs when he was carrying out the task assigned by Byron.
But Byron didn't care and had him continue working.
Now, things were different. After getting married and becoming a father, his boss seemed more considerate and caring.
He actually showed concern for others.
Martin felt moved by such a change again.
Yet, Byron quickly added, "Don't scare the kids. Aiden and Mia don't need to see you like this."
