Chapter 35: Crush
"Athena! We found your brother! We found him!" Lanny dashed in Athena’s direction, sharing the piece of good news.
Athena and Gael were flabbergasted after hearing that.
"Is it true? You found my brother, Enzo?! Is he alive? Where is he right now?" Athena bombarded Lanny with so many questions, her hands holding her shoulders tightly.
Lanny bobbed her head frantically in response to her queries. Happiness was written all over her face. "Yes. He is alive. He is in Fortuna Grande Island. We can go there right now to confirm it."
"Fortuna Grande Island... is a faraway place. No wonder the men I hired can’t find his trace." Gael was amazed since Lanny managed to locate Enzo.
’Their men are more capable than ours,’ Gael thought to himself. But he was happy for Athena. She would finally reunite with her missing brother.
"Can I come with you?" Gael volunteered.
Lanny hastily turned in his direction. Even before Athena could say a word, Lanny immediately turned him down. "No! You can’t!"
Gael: "..."
Athena: "???"
Lanny just smiled sheepishly at them. ’How can I allow him to join us when my brother is already coming along? Gael’s presence will just trigger my brother’s jealousy. He can’t stand seeing another man around Athena. I’m afraid he might toss Gael out to sea.’
"I have to ask a favor from you, Gael!" Lanny put her palms together, rubbing them in front of Gael.
