After Athena hung up the phone, she went straight to sleep.
The next morning, as the entire family gathered for breakfast, she watched Josie finish eating. Once Josie went to feed Bello and Dolli, Athena casually dropped the bombshell. "Last night, I got a call from Josie's biological mother. She told me she wants to reclaim custody of Josie."
The lively dining room instantly fell silent.
Everyone was in shock, momentarily forgetting their food.
Jaden was the first to react, quickly swallowing his bite and calmly asking, "Who are Josie's biological parents? Have we met them before?"
"Yes, we've met them," Athena replied as she leisurely cut her cake. "Josie's biological mother is Paityn, and her biological father is Damon."
Those who had just recovered from the initial shock were again stunned into silence.
Jaden maintained his composure. "How did they figure out Josie is their daughter?"
Athena sipped some yogurt and explained what Paityn had told her the night before. Then, she added, "Paityn didn't go into details, but I can make a pretty good guess."
"You can guess something like that?" Arthur, looking shocked, leaned over, staring at her in disbelief. "How did you figure it out? I didn't notice anything."
The entire family looked at Athena with the same puzzled expressions.
Athena said calmly, "I think it was the Hello Kitty.
"They didn't recognize Josie from her looks, her previous disability, or even her voice. If that had been the case, Paityn would have realized it long ago."
"It was the Hello Kitty that Josie always carries with her. It was a gift from her biological mother, with her signature on it."
Wesley, trying to stay calm, asked, "Athena, you don't seem surprised at all. Did you already know about this?"
Athena smiled. "While Paityn and Josie share some resemblance, it's not enough to make people immediately think they're mother and daughter. They've also rarely been seen together. Whenever Paityn picked up Lola from kindergarten, she wore sunglasses, so no one really had the chance to compare their faces.
"My suspicions about Paityn being Josie's biological mother arose when Josie sang 'Loving You' while holding that Hello Kitty.
"Paityn's reaction was way over the top. She covered her mouth, cried, and stared at Josie with an intensity that just felt off.
"And it wasn't even a sad song. Her reaction was completely irrational.
"Then, I saw some online comments pointing out how Josie's voice and appearance resemble Paityn's. Some media outlets even called her 'Little Paityn,' and that's when it hit me."
She spoke slowly. Arthur was practically squirming in his seat, while Maria was pacing, and Wesley and Claire seemed ready to interrupt. Jaden, on the other hand, remained unbothered, casually sipping his milk.
"What did you realize?" Arthur asked eagerly. "Athena, could you speed this up? I'm anxious."
"Young people, you need more patience," the older family members said calmly. They'd seen it all before and were completely unfazed.
Athena smiled again. "I remembered Paityn's old scandals.
"These rumors are ancient history and aren't often seen online, but you can still find some gossip here and there.
