Chapter 471 My Heart Has Always Belonged to You

Byron's smile faded as he heard the words, his brow furrowing in frustration. "You are wrong; she isn't."

Athena crossed her arms, her gaze cold as she looked at him.

Taking two steps toward her, he said, "What nonsense are you spouting now? If she was the one I loved, why would I be begging you?"

In fact, Freya was the only initial obstacle standing between Athena and Byron.

And even now, that obstacle still existed.

If Athena cared about the barrage of text messages Freya had sent during the day, she would be hurt.

If there was no romantic relationship between her and Byron, why would she be so angry?

Athena had once been someone else's stand-in, and she would never forget the terror and helplessness she felt when she saw Freya in that hospital, as her world crumbled around her. She never liked Freya.

But after being caught in the rain, she didn't want to become someone like her either.

So...

If she really wanted to consider starting over with Byron, she had to be clear about his relationship with Freya.

As long as it was confirmed, no matter what Byron's intentions had been over the past five years and whether he saw her as a substitute or truly loved her, Athena would not turn back.

"In the past five years, there have been countless gossip reports about your love affair with Freya," Athena said, "She stood by you through life and death, helped you weather the storm within the company. And you've always been her support."

"The gossip reports are all made up!" Byron's voice was deep and firm. "Go and see for yourself. Which of those media outlets that spread those rumors are still standing? As for supporting her... that was true, but I did it only because she saved my life."

Athena looked at him skeptically. "Are you telling me that you and Freya didn't make up?"

"Of course not!" Byron said seriously. "My heart has always belonged to you, and I'm not that kind of unfaithful as you think."

Athena fell silent.

She couldn't believe that he still remembered the exact words she had said to his marriage partner Heather's brother.

"Where's the medical kit?"

Athena didn't want to talk about it anymore.

In truth, during those years following Byron.

Athena didn't know if he only had eyes for her or hooked up with other women.

Back then, she was a meek girl who strived to stratify Byron's every need.

How could she have asked him if there were other women around him?

But from time to time, she would hear rumors about Byron.

So, she took his words with a pinch of salt.

She believed Byron wouldn't tell such a cheap lie just for her sake.

But she had her doubts because Byron wasn't himself now. Who knew if he was saying this just to make peace?

Byron called for the altar server to bring over the medical kit.

Athena sat opposite him and untied the gauze. The sight of the wound made her frown.

Byron didn't seem to feel any pain at all; instead, he was filled with joy.

"I'll treat it again," Athena said in a deep voice as she worked carefully. "If it doesn't heal by tomorrow, you should go back to the hospital." Byron responded with a nod.

Athena carefully cleaned up his scabs.

And the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily into a smile.
