When they went home, Mia went to play with Jaxson.
Athena told Byron about that couples request.
How dare they! Byron sneered.
If they werent stupid, things would be more difficult, Athena said calmly.
By the way, what do you think about the adoption of Paul that Mia just mentioned? Byron had always been unconcerned about those things.
It depends on you.
After a pause, he continued, But Im afraid that Paul wont agree.
When he saw Paul at school, Byron knew he was defiant, unruly, and cruel.
If he doesnt want us to adopt him, we can also help him financially secretly, Byron added.
Okay, I see, Athena replied.
Byron didnt sleep well the night before.
As he spoke, he was in Athenas arms.
You can sleep for an hour.
You need to go to the company after lunch, Athena said, gently massaging his temples.
Byron had a lot on his mind.
He had been suffering from insomnia for a long time.
Worse, he hadnt been sleeping well lately because of Freya.
Lie on the bed with me! Byron demanded.
He then buried his head in Athenas arms.
Sure, Athena answered with a smile.

After lunch, Byron went back to the company.
While working on the computer, Athena listened to the man she hired to investigate Josh, Pauls uncle, reporting to her.
To put it simply, Josh lived in a remote area where they had a preference for boys.
Before giving birth to him, his mother had three daughters.
What was outrageous was that his youngest sister died shortly after she was born.
According to the family, she died because of birth defects.
But everyone in the village was aware of it.
Pauls grandfather placed her on the broom and tucked her under the bed on the bitter winter night.
He forbade his wife from feeding and warming his daughter.
The poor baby froze to death overnight.
Pauls mother was the familys second daughter.
After her family received three thousand dollars, her older sister was forced to marry an old widower when she was sixteen years old.
She died in childbirth the following year.
Pauls mother was frightened to death.
To avoid the same fate, she dropped out of school and left the countryside to work in the city, following the adults in her village.
It wasnt until Pauls mother arrived in the city that she realized how terrible her parents were.
She decisively cut off contact with her family.
She relocated from Mageport to Girard City to work and even earned her GED through self-study.
Later, she met Pauls father, a native of Girard city, and happily married.
They were living a lovely life until Pauls mother was found by her younger brother.
At that time, she just gave birth to Paul, experiencing postpartum depression.
She even attempted to commit suicide several times.
During that time, her brother Josh even took her back to her hometown against her will.
Josh claimed that her parents did not approve of her marriage to Pauls father, and Pauls father had not given them wedding gifts.
They demanded one hundred thousand dollars from Pauls father in order to release his wife.
After more than three months, Pauls father finally took his wife back home.
At that time, Pauls mother was on the verge of breaking down.
Athena reckoned that Pauls mother wrote the IOU at that time.
Later, Pauls parents died in a car accident.
The most outrageous thing was that Josh kidnapped his sister again.
When Pauls father picked up his wife in the village and drove back home, their car lost control and rushed down the cliff, killing them both.
