As Claire served the dishes, Wesley said, "Athena, let me tell you more about our family.
"Your grandparents live in the countryside. They're almost eighty and not in the best health. Your eldest brother moved in with them to care for them.
"When we did the paternity test with you last week, it was your brother who called to tell me that Grandpa might not make it. That's why your mom and I had to leave so abruptly. I'm really sorry."
When they rushed off after the paternity test, Wesley and Claire had felt guilty for leaving so suddenly, especially when Athena, likely their biological daughter, deserved more of their time. Now, they finally had the chance to explain.
Athena asked with concern, "Is Grandpa alright?"
Wesley's heart warmed at her question. "Thanks to quick medical attention, your grandfather pulled through."
Athena smiled gently. "My brother must be a good person if he's so devoted to Grandpa and Grandma."
She meant it sincerely. Having been raised by her grandmother in the Kennedy family, Athena felt an immediate connection to her eldest brother, even though they hadn't met.
Wesley's face lit up with joy. "Your eldest brother is indeed a good person, and so is everyone in this family—including you."
Claire smiled, "When they heard you were coming home for dinner today, they sent us radishes and other vegetables from their farm early this morning so that you could enjoy them."
"To keep them fresh, they sent them right after harvesting. They're really delicious!" Claire beamed with pride.
Athena took a sip of the creamy radish soup, and her eyes lit up with delight. "It's amazing! Please send my thanks to them!" she said, her voice full of warmth.
Despite having sampled the finest cuisines, Athena savored the simple, home-cooked dishes in front of her. Each bite was a revelation, and she couldn't help but praise the meal.
As Athena eagerly drank the soup, her usual refined table manners gave way to an unrestrained enjoyment of the food, as if she couldn't get enough of the comforting flavors.
Wesley and Claire exchanged glances, their faces softening as the tension dissolved. The joy in their eyes shone bright, filling the room with warmth.
Wesley added, "Your grandparents said they must come to the city to see you once they feel better. Even on their deathbeds, they want to see their precious granddaughter one last time."
