Chapter 147: Dinner Together

"Ashton..." Athena smiled at Ashton awkwardly.

He just caught her leaving the master’s bedroom.

"Hmm. Is dinner ready?" she asked, trying to sound natural.

Ashton closed their gaps and grabbed her shoulders. "What are you doing here? We’ve been looking for you. We thought something bad happened to you. Do you have Asthma?"

A hint of worry was evident in Ashton’s eyes.

"Oh. I’m sorry. I got lost in the house. My phone’s battery is empty. I ended up entering this room hoping to see an electric outlet."

’Gosh, Athena! What a lame excuse. I wonder if Ashton will believe my words or not.’

Ashton just nodded in understanding. "Alright. As long as you are okay. Come. Let’s go down. Sasha and Dominique are waiting for us."

He guided her as they descended the stairs.

Athena felt relieved since Ashton didn’t press any more questions as to why she came out of Sasha and Dominique’s room.

’What an unreliable man?! I thought he got my back cover. I ended up being caught by Ashton!’ Athena complained inwardly, cursing Dominique in her mind.

Ashton and Athena entered the dining area together.

Athena cast a sharp glare at Dominique the moment they locked gaze with each other.

On the other hand, Dominique just maintained his neutral expression. He had no idea why Athena was glaring at him.

*Phone vibrating*

Dominique received a message from Athena.

[ Ashton caught me leaving your room! ]

Dominique frowned upon reading her message. He simply typed a reply.

[ What did he say? Did you explain anything to him? ]

Athena knew that Dominique sent a reply but she didn’t bother to read it since she told Ashton that her phone’s battery went down.

"Athena, where have you been? Are you not feeling well?" Sasha asked her worriedly. She rose from her seat and approached Athena.

"Oh, I’m fine. I just got lost in your mansion. It’s so big. You also have so many rooms upstairs. Sorry. I explored your guest rooms without your permission." Athena glanced at Dominique meaningfully.

"Oh, yeah. We plan to convert the other guest rooms into a children’s playroom and nursery room for our future children," Sasha promptly responded excitedly.

Both Athena and Dominique were caught off guard by Sasha’s sudden declaration.

Athena’s expression turned ashen at the mention of future babies. Fortunately, she managed to conceal her negative emotions right away.

’Future babies? Both of you don’t deserve to be a parent. You tried to kill my unborn child, forcing me to abort my innocent child.’ She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

Her resentment toward Dominique and Sasha resurfaced once again. Because of this, she lost her appetite.

"Haha. I will be a godfather to your babies!" Ashton volunteered cheerfully.

Sasha let out a soft giggle as she nodded her head. "Sure! Let’s look forward to that. I will reserve the spot for you. How about you, Athena?"

Athena forced a smile. "Ahem. I don’t know if I can be a good godfather," she joked even though she wanted to throw up just hearing about it.

"I mean a godmother, not a godfather," Sasha insisted. "I have many spots available for that. I don’t have lots of girl friends."

"Let’s eat." Dominique interrupted their conversation.

Dominique didn’t want to talk about this, especially in front of Athena. He gave Sasha a warning look.

Even though he returned to the Smith mansion for Sasha’s sake, he still didn’t agree about doing the artificial insemination, especially after discovering what Sasha did to Sabrina five years ago.

"Yeah. I’m hungry. I missed Sasha’s cooking," Ashton mumbled excitedly.

Ashton pulled a chair for Athena before he sat down next to her.

Athena lowered her head, avoiding Dominique’s gaze. She didn’t want to look at him otherwise, he might notice the hostility in her eyes.

The four of them began eating their meal. Athena remained quiet. She didn’t eat much.

Dominique stole glances at Athena from time to time. He furrowed his eyebrow as he observed that Athena was no longer looking at him.

’Is she upset about something?’ Dominique pondered to himself.

Meanwhile, Ashton also noticed that Athena didn’t touch the food.

Ashton leaned closer to Athena and whispered, "Athena, are you sure you are just fine? Do you have any food allergies?"

Athena smiled at him faintly.

"No, I don’t have food allergies. I’m on a diet," she lied.

Ashton shook his head in disagreement. "You look slim. You should eat more. Here, try this."

Ashton was very attentive to Athena, putting food on her plate.

Sasha couldn’t stop smiling watching the two. Dominique, on the other hand, stared at Ashton sharply. He felt a little bit jealous.

Athena was paying more attention to Ashton. She stopped interacting with Sasha and Dominique, not even glancing in their direction. It seemed that they became invisible in Athena’s eyes.

Little did he know, Athena was still affected when Sasha brought up the topic of babies. She was sensitive about it.

Athena still thought that Dominique ordered Sasha to abort their unborn child.

"Athena, let me drive you home." Ashton volunteered.

"Sure," Athena accepted his offer right away.

Dominique gripped the spoon and fork tightly. He could no longer endure being ignored by Athena while she was giving her full attention to Ashton. He was seething in jealousy.

When the four of them were done eating, Sasha invited them to the balcony.

"Athena, Ashton, why don’t you stay for a while? You can sleep over here if you want."

But Athena shook her head and anchored her arms around Ashton’s hand.

"I can’t stay for long. I have work tomorrow. Besides, Ashton and I have another plan for tonight. So I have to refuse your offer this time, Sasha."

Athena lied because she didn’t want to stay in the house and interact with the couple. She had no energy left to fake her smile and be friendly toward Sasha.

Dominique’s face darkened further when he watched Athena’s arms grabbing Ashton. She was too close to him and Ashton seemed to enjoy her company.

"Okay, Athena. Thanks for coming tonight. Enjoy your date," Sasha said cheerfully. She was happy for Ashton.

"Shall we go now, Ashton?" Athena turned to him.

Ashton bobbed his head frantically, his eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation.

"Yes! Let’s go."

Dominique could only watch their retreating back, clenching his fists tightly.
