Chapter 31 Heather Was in a Car
Accident
There was no one outside. Gabe had already left.
Byron was very satisfied with this.
He glanced at Athena subconsciously.
She was walking forward with her eyes looking down. Her expression was indifferent without any extra
emotions.
“I thought he would be so determined.” Byron mocked.
Athena ignored him.
The two walked to the elevator one after another.
Byron’s cell phone rang.
He lowered his eyes and took a glance, while his expression Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
became colder visibly.
It was Lola calling.
He hung up directly.
Two children rushed
other as the door opened.
They directly ran into Athena.
“Be careful!”
Byron took her into his arms to protect her.
“Sorry! They didn’t do that on purpose!” The children’s parents
apologized immediately.
Byron’s face was gloomy.
The two little boys also apologized right away.
Athena looked gentle. “Be careful next time. If you really hurt someone, your parents will be in big
trouble!”
“We got it.”
The two children mumbled their replies.
The children’s parents left teaching the children after
apologizing to them a few times.
“Okay, let me go.”
He didn’t realize it until she said that.
But since she had mentioned it…
Byron held her even tighter. “I’m not letting you go.”
Athena was speechless.
What the hell was wrong with him?
In the past, he would not act so intimately like this before others, even before Gideon, who knew their
relationship.
Now that they were not together anymore, he somehow
started to act like this.
Was he really not feeling good being dumped by her?
Holding Athena in his arms, Byron rushed her into the elevator. “Gideon is still waiting for us. Hurry
up.”
He seemed to be in a good mood.
But Athena felt awkward. “Mr. Crawford, there are
surveillance cameras here…”
“So?”
“I remember you said that I need to keep away from you as
long as there’s a camera.” Athena glared at him.
Byron frowned.
He indeed said that,
And it should be like that.
Just then, Athena’s cell phone rang.
It was Lola calling.
All the feelings aroused by Byron were calmed down in an
instant.
“Who is it?” Byron took a glance and asked with a frown.
Athena picked it up and replied, “It’s your mother.”
Byron wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
“Mrs. Lola Crawford.” Athena said politely but distantly.
“Get Byron on the phone. I know you are together.” Lola’s
voice sounded so rude that it seemed that she was about to
swallow Athena.
“Okay.”
Athena handed the phone to Byron without looking at him.
Lola’s tone made her suddenly feel ashamed. It was like being stripped naked and thrown on the
street.
Byron took the phone.
“Mom…”

“Miss Ross was in a car accident. Get your ass back here!”
“Car accident?” Byron got his hands off Athena’s waist.
The elevator had arrived on the first floor just then.
Letting out a soft breath, Athena walked out of the elevator.
Then she stood at the elevator entrance, waiting for Byron to
come out and return her phone.
After a while, she heard Byron say, “I’ll be right back.”
Athena raised her lips.
She couldn’t tell exactly how she felt.
Stepping out of the elevator, Byron was feeling a little down
“Leave the project to Gideon. You need to go back to Girard City with me.”
Athena reached out to get her phone back.
Then she looked up at Byron with her beautiful eyes, which were so clear without any impurities.
“No, I won’t.”
She was about to bring back her hand before it was caught by Byron.
“You’ve already received death threats!”
