"I can't tell you now," Athena shook her head, "but you must trust me. I'm saying this for your sake as well as our family."
She did not seem to have said much, yet the meaning behind her words was enough to make Brandon feel uneasy.
Brandon did not ignore Athena's words. He stood there silently, just watching Joy's back view from afar, lost in thought. Athena stood by him, sharing the silence.
After a while, Lindsay poked her head out of the car and asked, "What are you two looking at? Is there anything interesting?"
Only then did Brandon retract his gaze and reveal a seemingly calm smile. "Nothing. I got the wrong person." He patted Athena's shoulder and smiled. "Let's go home."
The two got into the car, and the car moved slowly, but they did not say a thing.
Lindsay did not hear what they had just said, but she could tell that they must be talking about something very important. Brandon's expression was obviously not right.
She wondered what it could be that Brandon could not tell her. She truly wished that Brandon would open his heart to her, with no secrets, no reservations.
'And when Brandon smiles, the one he shows to me is more like a formality, but the one he shows to Athena is so gentle. That difference makes me feel uncomfortable,' Lindsay thought.
During the ride, Lindsay tried to make conversation, but the other two seemed disinterested, responding half-heartedly. After a few attempts, she stopped talking.
In this dull atmosphere, the car finally pulled into the Donovan family's villa. Lindsay had known this was a high-end villa neighborhood, but seeing the Donovan family's villa still surprised her.
A place like this must have been worth no less than 60 million dollars. The garage had two cars, both of which looked new, likely just purchased. They were luxury cars worth tens of thousands of dollars.
When she stepped into the family hall, its elegance and style also took her aback. She asked Athena, "How long have you guys bought this villa?"
Athena replied with a smile, "At most two and a half years."
Lindsay asked further, "If you don't mind, how much did it cost?"
Athena chuckled, "We bought it second-hand. The location was said to be not so great, so the previous owner sold it at a cheap price. We only paid around five or six million dollars."
Lindsay's face clearly showed her disbelief, but she said nothing. Brandon then gave Lindsay a tour of the villa, even showing her his room. After that, they sat in the living room, and Brandon offered her snacks and a drink
"My Mom made these snacks; you should try them," Brandon said. While they were chatting, Alaric returned with Maria and Josie, holding a basketball. Brandon introduced Lindsay to them, and they all looked surprised but happy.
Alaric winked at Brandon, wrapping an arm around Brandon's shoulder, and said, "Well, who would've thought you'd be the first to bring home a girlfriend? Not bad!"
Maria excitedly added, "Welcome, Lindsay. You're beautiful and talented, Brandon is really lucky."
Josie clapped her hands and chimed in, "Bello and Dolli are happy to see Lindsay too." She pointed at a German Shepherd in the doghouse, "That's Bello, a military dog."
Then she picked up Dolli, which had been hiding under the sofa, and presented it to Lindsay like a treasure, "This is Dolli, isn't it the cutest? Do you want to hold it?"
Dolli stared at Lindsay with wide eyes, meowing, "Meow, meow, meow..."
Lindsay's eyes flashed with disgust, but she quickly masked it, smiling politely. "I just got back from abroad; I probably still have a scent on me. Maybe next time."
