My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 473

Byron's hand trembled visibly.

"It won't happen," he promised. "I can transfer the Crawford Group, the Imbe Group, and all my assets to your name!"

Athena was stunned.

To Byron, these things were extremely precious.

"Alright." Athena lowered her eyes, trying to pull her arm away from his grasp. "I really have to go now."

"Wait!"

Byron said quickly.

And he leaned in for a kiss.

The room fell silent as they shared a long, lingering kiss. When it ended, Byron pulled Athena into a contented embrace.

"Are you trying to strangle me?" Athena patted his arm lightly.

Byron kissed her cheek. "You've forgiven me, right?"

Athena was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Byron, I'm only going to ask you this once. If you lie to me, I'll never forgive you in my lifetime."

"Go ahead," Byron said, turning serious. "I won't lie to you."

He had never lied to her in the past, except for that one time when Freya had returned.

"Are you and Freya really not back together? Have you ever slept with her?" Athena asked seriously. "Think carefully before you answer."

"I have never reconciled with her, never slept with her, and never been intimate with her," Byron replied firmly. "If I'm lying to you, may I die a terrible death!"

"What nonsense are you talking?" Athena covered Byron's mouth with her hand. "Don't speak such things in the church!"

Byron pulled her hand away and held it tightly in his own. "We must let the Buddhas bear witness. Thea, I only love you. I only want you. No one else could ever take your place."

Athena's ears burned a little.

"Byron, five years is not a long time, but it's not short either. I've changed a lot. I'm completely different from who I was before. You need to understand that and be sure of your feelings. Are you still holding onto the Athena from five years ago?"

But Byron was resolute.

He loved the woman standing before him.

Time could not change it.
