Evie questioned, "Is Athena back?"
Logan whispered, "She is, and she's in the kitchen with Rose, getting ready for the Christmas Eve dinner. Just focus on your in-laws and families. There are always eyes on Athena, ensuring she's safe..."
Evie quickly said, "Good, keep her spirits up. I'll be back right after Christmas Day here."
Not wanting to persuade her otherwise, Logan replied, "Alright then."
After ending the call, Evie hung her head low, lost in thought.
Aron walked in from outside just then, carrying some pastries she loved.
"Thinking about Athena again?" Aron asked, setting the treats on the small table before sitting beside Evie.
With a sigh, Evie nestled into Aron's arms, and Aron naturally held her close.
"Why is fate so cruel? Everything seemed to improve when they were finally mending their differences..." Evie choked back tears, and she quickly covered her eyes.
Aron then sighed gently after hearing.
"Sweetie, don't think about that now. You've barely eaten anything today. How about some of your favorite pastries? They're fresh out of the oven," Aron softly urged Evie.
Evie then glanced at the pastries he offered.
She knew she could devour a whole plate in one go before.
However, at this moment, she didn't have the slightest appetite.
"I'd like an orange," Evie mumbled.
Aron quickly grabbed an orange, peeled it, and fed her a slice.
After eating a few pieces, Evie felt much better. Her heart's heaviness lightened considerably.
"Aron, maybe I should head back in two days. You can stay here and spend Christmas Day with mom and dad," Evie suggested.
"They probably wouldn't prefer only having me around for Christmas," Aron responded with a slight sigh, "I'd rather go back with you. I feel things will get hectic at Imbe Group once Athena's back to work. It might be good to talk to her beforehand and see if I can help."
"Alright," Evie responded with a nod.
Aron then proceeded to feed her another slice of the orange.
