Kapitel 32: Jewel

Athena's heart raced and her mind was confused, unable to comprehend the depths of Dominique's emotions. 'Am I seeing things? Why does he look so sad?'

Dominique clenched his fists. He was usually composed and confident. But in that brief moment, Athena witnessed his vulnerability.

Without saying a word, Dominique quickly turned around, walking out of the place. Athena's presence put his emotions into chaos once again. Before he could lose control, Dominique immediately distanced himself from her.

Dominique had already disappeared from her sight yet Athena's gaze still lingered on the glass door. It did not take long before Lanny entered the store, dashing in her direction.

"Athena, are you alright? What happened? I saw Dominique storming out of the place." Lanny asked Athena curiously.

"I don't know. He just left without saying a word. Anyway, where is Aaron?" Athena searched for her son.
