Athena was lying on the sofa in a daze.
And Evie was also distracted.
Since the afternoon, Evie had been visibly anxious. She checked her phone many times in a minute.
However, at this moment, she suddenly stopped checking it.
When there was a message alert, Evie just stared at the ceiling indifferently.
"Your phone is ringing," Athena reminded.
Evie replied, "My mom is texting me. It's nothing important."
"Did she urge you to date again?" Athena asked.
"Yeah. If my mom knows you are still alive and single with two kids, she will also urge you."
"Don't be so aggrieved," Athena looked at Evie and said, "Talk to me."
"It's Okay. My mom is boasting about Caspian's blind date there. She liked that girl so much that she wanted him to get married immediately." Evie raised her hand and put her arm on her eyes. "Even Caspian is more patient than she is."
"How old is Caspian?" Athena counted it and said, "Thirty-five? It seems reasonable for your mom to be anxious."
Evie didn't speak.
After a while, she said with emotion, "Yeah, it's reasonable. I just don't like her nagging in front of me."
"Although I don't think marriage is necessary for human beings, didn't you long to find a good man and live a happy life? Why have you become so desire-less now?" Athena was puzzled.
Evie was a woman who could do things like selecting men from a bar.
"Desire-less? No," Evie muttered, "I'm just too busy. Don't worry. I'm tired of my mother too. I'll go and find someone six years younger than me tomorrow!"
Evie didn't think she was Caspian's childhood sweetheart.
She was six years younger than Caspian!
"Take it easy." Athena patted Evie's legs.
She could feel that something was wrong with Evie.
But Athena also knew Evie well. If it were something she didn't want to say, no one could get an answer from her.
"I know."
Evie felt her heart ached.
