My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Airport Reunion

Two days later.

Athena's private plane landed on schedule at Girard City International Airport.

"Mom!"

Mia ran towards Athena when they met.

Athena caught her precisely, and Mia clung to her like a little monkey.

Even though it had only been a few days, Mia was overwhelmed with a mix of sadness, longing, and happiness as she embraced her mother. And then, she burst into tears. Mia's tears made Athena tear up as well.

"What's wrong, my baby? Why are you crying?"

"I miss Mom," Mia whimpered as she hugged Athena's neck.

At the same time, Evie held Aiden and pressed her lips against his forehead and cheeks.

"Aiden, do you miss your godmother?"

Aiden sighed and nodded.

If he said no, Evie would cry.

With Aiden's persistent insistence, Evie finally put him down. He proceeded to push a suitcase on his own. He moved slowly and sluggishly.

"Do you think Aiden is growing up too fast?" Evie gazed at Aiden's determined silhouette, her voice tinged with a sense of sympathy, and asked Athena.

"Is that a bad thing?" Athena replied as she kissed Mia's cheek several times in succession.

Mia was kissed until she went from tears to laughter.

"Mom, it tickles!"

"Even tickles get kisses!" Athena gave a few more kisses.

Mia started to giggle.

On the other hand, Byron had a last-minute meeting and had to go to Stanford City.

He was in a rush and about to pass through the VIP channel for security checks when his gaze suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the distance, as if holding a child in her arms. There was hardly any hesitation.

Byron immediately ran in that direction.

Freya stopped him and said, "Byron, our plane is about to leave."

Byron shook off her hand, but when he looked over there again, the familiar figure had disappeared.

"Byron, what did you see?" Freya asked in a serious tone.

Byron didn't say anything.

He suddenly came to his senses. That figure he glimpsed had short hair and seemed slightly taller than Athena. Moreover, Athena was thinner than she.

"It's nothing."

Byron returned to the line.

His chest ached, and his breath became slightly labored.

After all these years.

Whenever he came to the airport, his mood was always the same.

He had been to the airport many times with Athena.

In the first two years, he always felt like she was right by his side.

After more than five years, Athena returned to Girard City once again.

There were some new buildings near the airport, and in the distance, a theme park under construction could be seen.

"This is a theme park developed jointly by Imbe Group and a gaming company," Evie said.

Athena nodded and responded, "Imbe Group seems to have bought nearly half of Girard City, right?"

"Not quite," Evie replied with a shrug, "but they have bought a large portion of another country."

"Mom, what's Imbe Group?" Mia asked.

"Imbe Group is a leading investment company, and the founder is named Byron Crawford. He's a business genius," Aiden answered emotionlessly. Athena was startled at his reply and questioned him, "Aiden, who told you that?"

"Financial news," he answered with the same lack of emotion.

Athena went speechless.

If it was financial news, seeing Byron was not that difficult, actually.

"Bad brother, Mia is not asking you!" Mia was not pleased. "And Mia won't take you to eat delicious food!"

"Oh. I'm not a greedy little pig, so it's Okay if I don't eat," Aiden replied.

It was Mia's turn to go speechless this time.

Mia remained to rest in her mother's embrace. She remained still, her heart heavy with sorrow.

As the children bickered, Athena always refrained from getting involved.

Athena gazed outside the window and observed the familiar cityscape quietly.

She had expected it to feel like a world apart, but to her surprise, it felt as though she had only left yesterday.
