At six in the evening.
Athena appeared at the entrance of the villa in her small car.
Before the door opened, Josie, who was sitting on the balcony reading comics, heard the sound of a car. When she looked up, she jumped up happily and waved downstairs, screaming in a childish voice, "Athena, you're back."
Then, she turned around and rushed into the room, running downstairs to pick up Athena.
Athena had just gotten out of the car when Josie pounced into her arms. Josie hugged her waist with both hands and rubbed her little head against her arms.
Athena was touched. She hugged Josie and stroked her furry head, thinking, 'So cute. I want to have a puppy, oh no, a daughter like this.'
Josie looked up expectantly. "Athena, did you miss me? I missed you so much."
"I miss you so much." Athena pinched her little face and carried her up. "What have you guys been doing these past few days?"
This week, they did not call her. She had no idea what happened at home.
"Daddy goes to work." Josie hugged Athena's neck and stuck out three fingers very cutely. "We went to the countryside to stay with Grandpa and Grandma. We stayed for three days and helped Grandpa and Grandma with a lot of work. We also picked many fruits for you, Athena."
"Thank you, Josie." Athena carried Josie in one hand and pulled her luggage with the other as she prepared to go to the main building.
At this moment, Arthur ran out of the main building wearing an apron and gloves. As he ran, he waved his hand. "Athena, you're back. The food is almost ready. Dad is almost home. We can eat soon."
Athena smiled. "Arthur. How are you?"
"Alright, alright, alright. Everyone is alright." Arthur took the luggage from Athena's hands and said happily, "Mom has started cooking since she woke up from her afternoon nap. There're your favorite foie gras with gingerbread toast and sautéed vegetables."
He smacked his lips. "There's also my favorite chicken potpie, Dad's favorite macaroni and cheese, Maria's favorite fried fish, Josie's favorite sunny-side-up egg and shrimp...Oh, Maria has to work overtime tonight and can't come back on time. How pitiful."
Athena secretly snickered when she heard that. She could already tell that Arthur was a foodie.
In the beginning, the two of them were not familiar with each other and Arthur was embarrassed to eat too much in front of her. Later on, when they became familiar with each other, he did not hide it anymore. Every time, he ate the most and he wanted to try every dish.
Athena found it adorable.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the main hall.
Claire poked her head out of the kitchen with a long spoon in her hand. "Athena, you're back? Have a seat. We can start eating soon. Arthur, come in and bring out the fruits and snacks. Athena and Josie must be hungry."
Athena said sincerely, "Thank you, Mom. I appreciate it."
Claire smiled. "There is no need for such formality."
Half an hour later, the dishes were served. Wesley was back. The family of five sat at the dining table, chatting and laughing. They were very unhappy.
At 7 p.m., Wesley watched the national news as usual.
After it was over, he asked, "Which channel do you want to watch?"
Only then did Athena remember the war between Matthew and Richard. She took the remote control and clicked on an online channel.
"This station is livestreaming Graham Group's press conference on the health of former Lucy Graham..."
Athena clicked on the live broadcast. "I'll watch this."
Everyone became vigilant when they saw Matthew.
Hence, they put down their fork and watched with Athena.
