Athena paused for a second, then said, "I don't have any plans today, and I just got a new car. I was thinking of taking it for a spin. Why don't you send me your location? I can drive over and hang out with you."
This felt like the perfect chance for the siblings to spend some time together, so Jaden didn't hesitate. He sent her his location right away.
Once the tow truck from the repair shop had taken the van, Athena jumped into her car and headed downtown.
In less than twenty minutes, she pulled up in front of a small bank tucked behind a huge shopping mall.
The bank wasn't very well-known, but it specialized in personal business loans with fairly loose requirements. It was popular with students and low-income entrepreneurs looking to get their startups off the ground.
'Is Jaden here to apply for a loan?' Athena wondered.
She waited for a little while, and as noon approached, Jaden still hadn't come out. Athena rolled down the window and gave him a call. "Hey, Jaden, I'm outside the bank in the new SUV."
Jaden chuckled. "I'll be out in two minutes. Just sit tight."
Soon enough, Athena spotted him stepping out of the bank. She waved, getting ready to call out.
But before she could, a woman climbed out of a BMW just a few meters away, her voice way too excited as she shouted, "Jaden?"
Athena glanced over, raising an eyebrow. 'Who's this woman?' she thought.
The woman was striking with elegant features, flawless makeup, and healthy skin. She was curvy, with long, wavy auburn hair falling perfectly down her back. Her off-the-shoulder, figure-hugging red dress with floral patterns showed off her hourglass figure.
Most of the men passing by couldn't help but steal a glance. But Jaden was not included.
Jaden shot her a confused look, then quickly turned his attention back and kept walking, not breaking his stride.
"Jaden, it's you! I thought I was imagining things!" the woman called, now practically running toward him in her high heels. "Wait! It's me!"
Watching her hurry over, Athena couldn't help but feel a little nervous that she might trip in those heels.
But the woman was surprisingly steady, and despite the precarious situation, she made it to Jaden without a stumble.
Jaden finally stopped, his expression polite but distant as he asked, "Sorry, do I know you?"
The woman froze, her face falling as her body went rigid. A few seconds later, she managed to choke out, "Jaden, it's me, Linda. You don't recognize me?"
'Linda?' Athena frowned slightly, searching her memory. 'Have I ever heard of a Linda before? Is she related to the Donovan family?' she thought. The name didn't ring a bell.
Jaden barely looked surprised, his tone casual and indifferent as he said, "Oh, it's you. Is there something you need?"
Linda hadn't expected such a flat response. All the joy she'd felt revealing who she was, thinking he'd be happy to see her, evaporated instantly.
She reached out instinctively, trying to grab Jaden's hand. "It's been three years. I've missed you so much."
Jaden, hands behind his back, replied coolly, "I haven't missed you. And I'd rather you didn't think about me anymore. Just treat me like a stranger."
His words hit Linda like a slap in the face.
Her hand froze awkwardly in midair, not knowing where to go, while her wide, mascara-heavy eyes filled with tears. "Jaden, are you still mad at me?" she asked, her voice trembling.
This felt like the perfect chance for the siblings to spend some time together, so Jaden didn't hesitate. He sent her his location right away.
