When Mia said that Athena didn't want to,
she said it hard, as if afraid that Byron would not understand.
Byron was in a mess.
"Then, who is your father?" He continued.
Mia blinked her eyes. She was very confused and didn't speak.
"Does Mommy not let you say?" Byron was persuasive.
Mia shook her head. "Uncle, I can't tell what's going on in my house to outsiders. It's a rule."
Byron thought for a while, then nodded. "Well, this is very good."
"However, Uncle is not an outsider." Mia said very seriously, "Then I can tell you in a low voice about my father."
Byron clenched his hands unconsciously.
He bent down and moved closer to Mia.
Mia whispered in his ear, "Mommy said my father went to a faraway place on a space mission."
Byron was speechless.
"But I am not a little kid who is easy to lie to. Both Aiden and I know that Dad doesn't want us anymore. Mommy is afraid of hurting us, so she lied to us about it."
Mia finished speaking.
She sat upright.
When this matter was mentioned, Mia was hurt and angry.
Byron was emotional, as if he was about to break out every minute.
But at this moment,
Mia said in a low voice, "Mommy can lie to us, but she can't lie to herself. She has been very sad. I know it."
"Sad?" Byron's eyes gradually turned red.
He was now like a person who had fallen into the deep sea and was about to drown. He couldn't wait to grab something. Anything was fine. As long as he grabbed it, it could save his life.
"Yeah." Mia looked at Byron, "Mommy has many suitors, but she doesn't want anyone, not even George, who is so good."
"Is your mommy not married?" Byron asked in surprise.
Mia shook her head. "Uncle, where did you hear the lie? Mommy has never been married!"
