Love Until Death Do Us Part ( Athena Dempsey )

Chapter 33



Chapter 33 

“Payne, what are you doing here?” 

Newman’s brows furrowed slightly, leaving only authority on his handsome face. 

Kevin’s little heart skipped a beat. He thought, “Oh no! If Mommy and Devil found out I looked just like Payne, they’d uncover the secret swaps we’ve been pulling behind the grown–ups” backs.” 

Kevin didn’t fancy a spanking from Athena, so while she still hadn’t gotten a good look at him, he lunged towards Newman and hugged his leg tight. 

“Daddy!” 

He yelled extra loud, and Athena was taken aback. 

This kid wasn’t Kevin? But she’d just heard her boy’s voice a moment ago. Was her head playing tricks on her again? 

Athena studied the back of the kid’s head, and the more she looked, the more he resembled her 

Kevin. 

She called out almost instinctively, “Kevin?” 

Newman’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Took a serious knock to the head, did you?” 

That was a statement aimed at Athena. 

“This is my son.” Newman sneered with sarcasm, “You can’t even tell kids apart anymore, better see a doctor about your brain.” 

Kevin clung to Newman’s leg, not daring to look back, “Daddy, is this pretty lady sick? Does she need to see a doctor? You should take her back to her room, I can find my way back!” 

Kevin slipped behind Newman’s leg and even gave it a little push. 

“Daddy, bye!” 

Kevin skirted around the car’s hood and darted into the bushes like a nimble little rabbit. 

Newman was visibly stunned. His son could run that fast? 

Athena felt dizzy after the blow to her head, she leaned on the car door, trying to steady herself. Newman’s voice was cold, “I’ll get someone to help you inside.” 

Athena clenched her back teeth, “Newman! You’re my servant!” 

How much could this man disdain her? He wouldn’t even help her inside! 

A trace of coldness tightened on the man’s handsome face as he gripped Athena’s arm and dragged her towards the villa. 

14:45 

Chapter 33 

Athena’s legs were weak, and she collapsed against him. 

Soon, Newman’s cold snicker fell over her head, as if Athena was deliberately trying to seduce 

him. 

Athena stomped on Newman’s shoes a few times. 

A fierce look flashed in Newman’s eyes, “Can’t you walk properly?” 

“I can’t walk properly right now!” 

With no choice, Newman held her by the waist, and Athena was lifted off her feet and carried into the villa. 

Meanwhile, Kevin had climbed through a nearby window. 

After Newman had seen his outfit just now, Kevin had no choice but to rush to his room and change into new clothes. 

“What happened to Mommy?” 

The childlike voice behind Newman made him turn. There stood a kid in a Spider–Man mask and costume on the stairs. 

The voice sounded familiar, probably because kids that age all have that milky tone that sounds similar. 

Newman had just dumped Athena on the couch, “She bumped her head. 

Kevin inhaled sharply. “Will Mommy turn stupid? I’ll call the family doctor!” 

Athena, hearing her child speaking with Newman, felt her heart racing. 

It was over! 

Newman had seen Kevin’s face! 

He would notice the resemblance between the kid and him! 

Athena pushed herself up with her arms, struggling to rise from the couch, only to see Kevin in the Spider–Man mask. 

GUP. 

Athena couldn’t help but want to give Kevin a thumbs up. 

“Kevin, no need to call the family doctor. I’ll cook an egg and a warm compress will do the trick.” 

The kid in the Spider–Man mask hopped down the stairs with a bounce. 

“Mommy, you’re hurt now, you need to rest. Let Icy Man cook the egg!” 

Kevin said, pointing at Newman. 

Newman’s expression was icy as he realized the kid wasn’t afraid of him. 

Chapter 33 

“Kevin, go back to your room, don’t come out. Once Icy Man has cooked the egg, he’ll put it on my head, and I’ll be fine.” 

Kevin obediently agreed with a “okay” and before leaving, he reminded, “Icy Man, take good care of my Mommy, okay?” 

Both Athena and her son sure knew how to boss people around! 

Newman turned and went to boil the egg. Coming back with the cooked egg, he found Athena on the phone, sprawled on the couch. 

“Leonard, it was me who stood you up, I’m so sorry, you brought Kevin back, I really owe your one.” 

Newman wrapped the egg in a towel, and when the heat transferred to the fabric, he pressed it against the back of Athena’s head. 

“Ah!” 

“Athena, what’s wrong?” Leonard’s concerned voice came from the phone

“Um, nothing. I hit my head coming down the mountain, and now, ah ah ah! I’m applying heat to it, uhhhh!” 

Tears brimmed in Athena’s eyes as she kicked her legs and growled lowly in pain, “It hurts! Be gentler!” 

Newman’s voice was polished yet cold, “Endure it, I’m going to press harder now.” 

“Ah ah ah! Jerk!” Athena lay on her side on the couch, one hand gripping the armrest, cursing under her breath. 

Leonard asked over the phone, “Athena, is your bodyguard with you?” 

“Mmm.” Her voice sounded pitiful. 

“Where did you go last night?” Leonard probed. 

Athena hurriedly explained, “We got caught in a downpour on the road, ran out of gas, and had to stay at an inn for the night, booked two rooms!” 

She made sure to clarify the situation, and Newman chuckled coldly after hearing it. 

Athena then said to Leonard, “When are you free? I’ll treat you to a meal. Just the two of us can meet after 10 pm for some drinks and late–night snacks.” 

Leonard’s laughter was hearty, clearing the gloom that had lingered, his voice warm and soft. “Sounds good, let’s go to that place we used to frequent. Athena, you rest up, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” 

After hanging up with Leonard, Athena heard Newman’s voice in her ear. 

“Did you do that on purpose for me to hear?” 

Chapter 33 

Lounging on the couch, Athena didn’t bother to look up at him. 

“Newman, I’ve got a date with my boy Leonard. Who knows, we might just hit it off and start dating for real. Do me a solid and call off the arranged marriage between our families, will ya?” 

Newman looked down at her with a frosty chill in his eyes. “You made sure I overheard about. your date with Leonard just to make me jealous, to get under my skin.” 

Athena was speechless

How could this man be so utterly shameless? 

“Newman, what’s it gonna take to prove to you that I’m not into you, not one bit?” 

Athena lifted her head, her eyes, black and white, were blazing with anger as she glared at Newman, “Do I need to hold hands and kiss another guy to prove it to you?” 

“Why isn’t sleeping with Leonard an option?” Newman’s voice was cold as ice. “After you’ve slept with me, you’re suddenly playing the loyal card?”
