Chapter 161 Considerate Athena Ⅰ
Concerned for Rose's well-being, Jaxson feared that her deep sadness might hurt her health.
Seeing that Rose smiled at Athena's words, Jaxson also smiled.
Seeing Jaxson like this, Rose was speechless.
"I don't know what he is laughing at! He doesn't even understand what we are talking about."
Athena rubbed the back of Rose's hand gently and said, "He just feels happy when he sees you smile."
Jaxson seemed to be around six feet tall.
Jaxson had a robust build and a bronzed complexion. His features carried a slightly fierce appearance.
However, when Rose fainted just now, Jaxson kept wiping his tears, looking pitiful.
Rose smiled with relief.
Lowering her eyes, Rose patted Athena's hand lovingly and gently said, "You are truly considerate."
Athena was genuinely surprised when hearing that.
"Madam Stella, my grandmother used to praise me in the same way. She had set my nickname on
WhatsApp as Considerate Athena!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Really?" Rose became interested. "So it seems I have some similarity with your grandmother. When
we go to Greeli City, you must introduce her to me! Maybe we can become good friends!"
Athena hesitated for a moment.
Lowering her eyes, Athena replied, "My grandmother has passed away."
Rose paused for a moment, then looked at Athena with a pained expression. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
know..."
"It's fine!" Athena waved her hand and said.
Rose's mood sank again, and she let out a heavy sigh. "As people grow older, they cannot escape their
death. Take Herman, for example. Despite his current appearance, he used to be handsome..."
As she spoke, Rose shed tears again.
Athena gently caressed her hand.
Herman appeared withered, his cheeks and eye sockets deeply sunken, making it hard to recognize
his former appearance.
"I'll look for some old photos from the past to show you. He was no worse than Byron when he was
young!" Rose wiped away her tears and said.
Athena couldn't help but smile wryly.
How did the topic shift to Byron again?
Rose talked a lot with Athena about the past between her and Herman.
She talked about how they went abroad to study together, experienced wars, and how they worked
together in the business world. Herman wasn't someone who cared about money.
Later, he sold his shares to Rose at a low price.
He then returned to the country with his newlywed wife to live a quiet life.
Rose also talked about how Herman's wife had a difficult labor and passed away, leaving behind their
newborn daughter, and how Herman and his daughter lived with each other. She also mentioned how
Herman entrusted his daughter to her.
In the end, they became enemies and hadn't seen each other for more than twenty years.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, one had made an unforgivable mistake, and the other was on the
brink of death.
As Rose continued talking, she started weeping again.
Rose deeply regretted her steadfastness over the last twenty years and felt a heavy heartache for not
knowing whether the person she had been seeking was alive or deceased.
Athena comforted Rose to sleep.
Rose's account of the grievances and entanglements of the previous generation was vague.
However, from what she said, Athena could feel that Rose's daughter-in-law was a strong-willed
woman.
With the girl's resolute departure, Athena concluded that Rose must have inflicted a considerable
amount of suffering upon her.
Athena dozed off on the bed.
When she woke up, she heard Rose arguing outside.
Athena got up and went out.
There were quite a few people outside.
They were most likely Herman's relatives, and all of them were elderly.
That made the only middle-aged couple stand out amidst the crowd.
"How could the two of you come together? Are you not want Herman to rest in peace?" Rose pointed at
the middle-aged man's nose and scolded angrily.
"Mother..."
"I have cut off ties with you! Don't call me that!" Rose interrupted the man.
Athena was stunned. Was this man Rose's son?
