My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 I’ll Protect You 

Athena had nothing else to say. 

She went to the garage. 

Byron followed after a while. 

“What do you want to eat?” Byron got into the car and asked Athena gently. 

Athena thought about it. 

“Let’s go back to Girard City,” she said. 

“It’s dinner time,” Byron said in a deeper voice. 

He sounded impatient and unhappy. 

“Mr. Crawford, where can I go for dinner with you? Your engagement to Miss Ross just came off the trending list not long ago. Why? Are you already trying to attract media attention and put me in the spotlight?” 

“The news cannot be released without my permission,” Byron said. 

Athena lowered her eyes and laughed at herself. “Mr. Crawford, the Internet is ubiquitous. Besides, so many people want the marriage between the Crawford and Ross families to fail… They 

are playing games behind the scenes. You may think of me as a pawn, but I don’t want to be one.” 

“Athena, you know that’s not how I think!” Byron growled. 

“No, I don’t,” Athena replied. 

“You…” 

Byron’s breathing was a bit heavy and uneven. 

He stared at Athena for a moment, not knowing what to do. 

Byron quickly gave up. 

He hooked his arm around Athena’s neck, pulling her close and resting his forehead against hers. 

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.” 

Athena looked down. 

Her eyes gradually turned red as tears welled up. 

“Protect? 

But Byron, you’re the one who has hurt me deeply in the world,” she thought. 

In the end, they didn’t stay in the Dunlop City for dinner. 

However, Athena still got what she wanted. 

They bought some food from KFC at the airport. 

In the departure lounge, Byron watched as Athena enjoyed her food, 

“Is this cheap food really that delicious?” he asked. 

Athena finished a spicy chicken wing. 

: 

“It may be cheap for you, Mr. Crawford, but when I was a child, I could only have KFC when I was sick,” she said. 

Hearing that, Byron thought of something. 

“Let’s go for a medical check–up tomorrow.” 

Athena was taken aback. She quickly concealed her inner 

turmoil. 

“I just had one recently, so it’s not necessary,” Athena said. 

“You just had one? Did they find any problems? Is that why Liam saw you taking medicine that day?” Byron asked seriously. 

Athena replied with a relaxed tone, “I have a bit of anemia, and I’m lacking some trace elements. It’s not medicine, just 

vitamins.” 

“You’re too thin,” Byron said. 

Athena looked at Byron in surprise. 

“Mr. Crawford, didn’t you tell me to keep slim?” 

Athena couldn’t gain weight easily.
