Chapter 180 Let's Get Married

"How's Athena's appetite today?" Byron asked.

"With Miss Cross here, Miss Newton seems very happy. She has eaten a lot for both lunch and dinner." The old servant replied.

"Good."

Byron responded.

Then he walked towards the room where Athena was resting.

Athena and Evie were sleeping together.

He went over gently, picked her up, and went to another bedroom.

Because of what happened last night, Athena was in a light sleep.

When Byron entered, she woke up.

However, she was worried about waking Evie up, which was embarrassing.

So she opened her eyes only after she got out the door. "You... put me down. I can go by myself."

Her voice sounded better.

But it still sounded a little hoarse.

"No." Byron refused and insisted on hugging Athena to another bedroom.

Carefully putting her down, Byron sat beside her.

Her face was less swollen but still bruised.

"How about it? The Ross family..."

"Athena." Byron interrupted her.

Athena looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"When your face recovers, choose a date, and let's get married." Byron said slowly.

Athena froze.

"What did you say?"

Byron held her cheeks and approached her. "I said let's get married."

"Are you kidding? You and Heather..."

"It won't be long before she breaks off the engagement with me herself." Byron sounded a bit colder.

Athena was still at a loss.

Byron just... proposed to her?

"Why are you looking like that?" Byron gently pinched her chin. "Don't you want to marry me?"

"But why?" Athena asked, puzzled.

Byron had clearly warned her before to be a good substitute and not have any improper ambitions.

Byron said nothing.

"What do you think a man wants to marry a woman for?" He frowned.

"But I'm not a plutocrat. Excluding the money you gave me, my deposit is not enough for you to buy a diamond for the cuff!"

"Yeah, what's going on? Why am I enchanted by you?" Byron lowered his eyes, leaned in front of Athena, and kissed her. "In two days, you go to the Greeli City with Rose first. When you come back, everything should be almost ready here."

Athena's heart trembled violently.

Her reason told her not to do so.

But emotionally...

Athena suddenly thought of those two lights that she saw yesterday when she was dying.

For children, it was definitely the best to have loving parents and a complete family!

"Let's talk about it after you break off the engagement."

If he did break off the engagement, then she could trust he was sincere for sure.

Until then... she would tell him about her pregnancy.

Athena saw Byron's recent obsession with children.

She thought, "He should be delighted with that news, right?"

"Still got pride?"

Byron pinched her chin and kissed her again.

"No matter what you want to do, you can't take risks, you know?" Athena was still apprehensive about the confrontation between Byron and the Ross family. "Don't worry."

Early the next morning, it was just dawn when Byron went out.

He always left early and returned late for the next three or four days.

Athena was taken good care of in the manor, until Rose buried Herman and returned to Girard City.

Rose hailed a car that night, picked up Athena, and chartered a flight to Greeli City.
