Athena knew that Freya would find a way to take revenge and return even if Byron was going to send her to space, let alone Southeast Asia.
"Hmm." Byron nodded.
"Stop hugging. I really have to go."
From entering the door until now, Byron had gradually narrowed the distance between the two of them, and now he was buried in her chest.
If she stayed any longer, he would probably drag her to bed.
"I'll take you to the airport tomorrow." Byron raised his head and looked at her reluctantly. "Stay here tonight, okay?"
"No!"
Athena raised her hand, put her fingertips against Byron's forehead, and pushed him back. "Put away your dirty thoughts. I haven't planned to reconcile with you yet. If you have needs, do it yourself."
Byron was silent for a moment.
"Then, at least have dinner before leaving. I have learned to cook in the past few years. Although it is not as delicious as yours, it is not bad. Let me cook for you, okay?"
He just wanted to drag on.
It would be good even if he could stay with his wife for one minute longer.
"You cook?" Athena was astonished.
How delicate was Byron in the past? He used to frown even at the sight of raw fish and meat.
Let alone cook.
"Yeah." Byron looked at Athena. "I missed your cooking, but I searched many restaurants, and none resembled the taste of the dishes you cooked. I really wanted to taste your cooking again, so I locked myself up at home, thinking back to how you used to cook, and tried it myself."
As he said that, Byron even showed one of his hands to Athena. "In the beginning, I kept cutting my hand. The wound was so deep that you can still see the scar."
Athena glanced at the faint scar on Byron's finger, imagining what it was like.
Suddenly, she felt every cell in her body ache.
"Stupid." She pushed Byron's hand away, but Byron held her hand, separated her slender fingers, and clasped them tightly.
"There is no food in the refrigerator. Can you go shopping with me?" Byron said in a gentle tone, "I promise I will send you back after dinner, and I won't do anything bad!"
