Chapter 109: Mind Your Business!
Athena was taken aback when she saw Ewan sitting on the floor by her doorstep.
His head was bowed dejectedly, supported on his hands which were crossed on his drawn-up knees. The sight of him was unexpected, bringing forth a tumult of emotions within her.
She exchanged furtive glances with Gianna, who Jake had driven to the location where the costly prank had happened.
Her friend had been so fraught with worry about the children and the potential dangers they had faced, that even now, with everything settled, her relief was still tinged with anxiety.
Now, looking at Ewan slumped in despair, she felt a complex knot of frustration and exasperation creeping in.
She knew he must have tried to find out where they were, since the news wasn’t really hidden; the gang was bent on involving the public in whatever plan they had.
Because he couldn’t get in touch with them, he had come here to wait, believing that she would be back with the twins soon.
It must have been frustrating waiting alone like that, but Athena couldn’t dig up any sympathy or a sense of appreciation for Ewan. She was just cold and not in the mood for shenanigans with a man who believed whatever Fiona said.
"Ewan, what are you doing here?"
At her voice, Ewan raised his head immediately, relief breaking out on his face when he saw the twins, causing the tense lines on his face to relax for a brief moment.
He stood up agilely and sauntered toward them, almost like a puppy eager for attention.
