Chapter 69: Patience
"It’s about you and Enzo. I’ve noticed how much you care about him. I found it strange. Athena... Before Lanny and Enzo, were you two in a relationship?"
Athena: "..."
She didn’t expect to hear that question from Vladimir. ’What made him think Enzo and I were a couple?’
Noticing Athena’s puzzled look, Vladimir continued talking.
"Lanny also told me something. I know it sounds ridiculous... but I want to hear it from you. She said... the three of you are a throuple."
Athena blinked in amusement. After his words sunk in, she erupted into a peal of laughter. She could already tell that Lanny made up a story, teasing and deceiving her brother.
"Pfffft! V, you are overthinking," Athena couldn’t stop laughing, tapping Vladimir’s back.
"Enzo and I were never in a relationship... And no, the three of us were definitely not in a throuple," Athena clarified, astonished that Vladimir would even entertain the notion of Lanny’s joke being true.
Vladimir’s face reddened in embarrassment. He regretted believing his sister’s nonsense. He became a laughingstock in front of Athena.
’Lanny Ivankov! I’m gonna make you pay for this!’ Vladimir slammed his eyes shut, covering his face using both hands.
Athena stopped laughing when she saw Vladimir feeling embarrassed. "It’s fine, V. Don’t feel embarrassed. Lanny is always playful and naughty. Next time, don’t believe her taunting words quickly."
Vladimir could only sigh helplessly, nodding in agreement. "Yes. I’ve learned my lesson."
