The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 475

Athena looked at Xander’s expressionless face, somewhat confused by his words.

Athena frowned. “What does he mean, Ferris is actually enjoying this? she wondered.

Athens frowned in thought, then suddenly understood what Xander meant

“No way!” Athena retorted, unable to stomach the implication. “Ferris may seem aloof, but he’s absolutely not the kind of man you’re implying

Xander’s expression remained calm, yet his gaze was stubbornly fed on Athena. “Atheny, people change,” he said,

“But…” Athena’s eyes darted around uncertainty, Suckdenly, she recalled Ferris’s reaction from earlier, and the words died on her lip

Normally, given Fenris’s character, he would never yield to Lizzie Athens thought.

But today, Ferris was acting so out of character

Athena’s fists clenched tightly, then went limp as she released them helplessly.

Xander saw the struggle in her eyes and gently patted her shoulder. “Atheny, this is his cholor.”

Athena looked up again, her eyes rimmed with red. “But I just want him to be happy,” she choked out.

Xander’s sudden confession left Athena completely at a loss.

Their relationship was now hopelessly tangled, like a ball of yarn that no one could unravel.

A sudden gust of cold wind made Athena shiver involuntarily.

Xander noticed how frail Athena looked in the chilly wind. Without hesitation, he slipped off his cloak and gently draped it over her shoulders.

Come on, I’ll send you home,” Xander said gently.

The carriage that had been following at a short distance pulled up, and Athena got into it.

Xander gave her a gentle smile and said, “Goon“,

The carriage slowly rolled away. Xander stood footed to the spot, watching until it disappeared into the distance before fina

ing his gaze away

Ansel let out a soft sigh behind him. “Master, why didn’t you escort Lady Albhome?”

“She needs some peace and rest right now. I don’t want to burden her any further” Xander said, his gaze shining into the distance, a dangerous glint

flickering in his eyes.
