Athena finished the project and didn't have time to rest.
She went straight to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for Mia and Aiden.
Just after the breakfast was ready, Aiden went downstairs.
Before they left, Athena had already started to miss them.
"Aiden, I will finish work as soon as possible," Athena pressed her forehead against Aiden's and said pitifully.
Aiden touched her cheeks, which looked pale because of staying up late.
He stroked the dark circles under her eyes and asked, "Mommy, have you worked all night?"
Athena nodded. "I suddenly had a great inspiration for my unfinished project, so I finished it overnight. When I checked the time, it was already morning."
"Don't be too tired," Aiden said softly, "You will get sick if you stay up late."
He didn't want Athena to get sick.
The last time Athena was sick, he was scared.
He was afraid of losing his mom.
"I promise!" Athena said softly, "Let's have breakfast. I prepared them for you!"
Aiden nodded.
"I'll wake Mia up." Athena touched Aiden's head and went upstairs.
She opened the door of the children's room.
As she expected, Mia was still curled up in the bed.
She walked over and was about to wake Mia when she heard her sobs.
Athena's fingers froze. She thought, "Mia... Is she still reluctant to part with Byron?"
"Mia." Athena approached gently, held Mia's shoulders, and pulled her over.
Mia's nose turned red from crying.
Athena felt distressed.
"Why are you crying?" She wiped away tears for Mia.
Mia looked at Athena and kept sobbing. "Mommy... Mommy, I'm sorry... I shouldn't ignore you and make you sad!"
Athena was stunned.
