My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup Novel

Chapter 1234 Insecurity Byron, you are somewhat unreasonable.

Back when I worked by your side, wasnt this how you demanded things from me? I should never come to you for help unless there was something I really couldnt handle.

Why cant it be the same now? Athena was already fed up today.

She had no mood to placate Byrons sudden outburst.

Her words caused Byrons expression to falter slightly, as if he were a child who had done something wrong.

Alright, lets stop arguing and not bring up the past… He lowered his eyes, reaching out to hold Athenas wrist.

Im sorry.

I got caught up in unnecessary worries.

It was a sense of insecurity.

In fact, this sense of insecurity had never disappeared since they got married.

He was always overly cautious, afraid of touching things he shouldnt touch.

And he was eager to cater to Athenas every need.

But somehow, the more he acted this way, the more he felt like he was walking on thin ice.

He was so cautious.

In contrast, Athena gave him the feeling that she could leave at any moment.

On the way back just now, Byron couldnt help but wonder whether she would have married him if he hadnt resorted to threats.

Would she have held onto him if he hadnt been so desperate to hold on to her? Byron… Athena looked at him with concern.

Ill handle the matter with Simon.

Its because of me that we got into trouble.

Byron tightened his grip on her hand and looked into her eyes.

His beautiful eyes were now bloodshot and appeared fragile and pitiful.

Athena had never seen Byron like this before.

You cant intervene, Athena said as she sat beside him, holding his hand back firmly.

Since it involves Freya, you shouldnt come forward.

The domestic media were under Byrons control, but overseas media were a different story.

Once certain rumors spread, it would be hard to quell them.

Whether Simon wanted to take revenge on Byron or Byron intended to punish Simon, once it started, the media would blur it all into a story about Freya.

Byron frowned, his thoughts tangled.

Athena leaned in and kissed him.

Byron, a family has its division of labor.

You take care of the children, and Ill take care of things outside.

Then if Im tired, you can take over.

Its the same.

Dont overthink it.

She paused for a moment and continued, But you were right just now.

No matter what my considerations were, I should have told you first about such a big matter.

It was my mistake.

No… Byron hurriedly hugged Athena.

I was being narrow-minded, he whispered.

Athena hugged him back gently and lightly patted his back.

Im still a bit scared right now.

Im glad youre back.

Can you hold me while I sleep? Of course, Byron responded, hugging Athena even tighter.

She loved him.

And she wouldnt leave him so easily.

As Athena softly patted his back, she felt a weight in her heart.

Byron had been doing well during this time.

Even Evie praised him as a devoted husband.

But… Tonight, his sudden emotional outburst gave Athena a glimpse of something else.

He seemed… not in a good psychological state.

Athena was lost in thoughts.

They had been through so much in the past half year.

His grandma passed away, and then Lolas unexpected death occurred.

And there was a time when they were at odds with each other.

Byron, Athena called him softly.

Im here.

Byron muffled his answer in her neck.

After a moment of contemplation, Athena spoke gently, Lets have our wedding.
