My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 497

Chapter 497 I Am Materialistic

While arranging the presents, Evie also felt a little emotional.

"Athena, don't you think my life is strange?" She lowered her eyelids. "Knowing that Caspian had a blind date without telling me, broke up with him, witnessed my mom be biased toward Caspian's fiancée, ther severed ties with my mom. That should have been the darkest moment of my life, right?"

Athena nodded.

In fact, the day Evie ended things with her mother, Athena bought her a ticket. She wanted to send Evie somewhere nice for a vacation to relax her mind and body.

"Alas, who would have thought that right after I severed ties with my mom, I... How should I put it? I was giving up on myself, trying to see just how unlucky I would get, so I married Aron after just a few days of knowing him." Evie smiled self-deprecatingly. "But... Who would have thought that Aron would treat me so well and respect my opinions so much?"

This was something she rarely, if not never, felt again after her father passed.

"I'm rather materialistic." Athena sat down, crossed her long legs, and looked serious. "Aron's face, body, family affairs, ability, all aspects surpass Caspian drastically. I am very proud of it."

Although Athena hated people like Caspian, who looked nice on the outside but was corrupted inside, she had to admit that Caspian was handsome, mature, quite wealthy, and had a rather elite family background.

Caspian surpassed most men.

But... Compared to Aron, he instantly became ordinary.

"That's true."

Evie raised her eyebrows slightly.

Even though her feelings for Caspian had completely vanished, her heart still ached when his name was brought up. After all, she loved him with all her heart for so long. However, that was all there was.

Evie would never look back at that path of tolerance and sorrow ever again.

Late at night.

Athena, who was busy all day, fell into a deep sleep.

Evie did not sleep.

She owed Aron a wedding ring.

That guy always pretended not to be bothered by it yet kept hinting at her. He said he was in no worry, but he looked the opposite.

Firstly, it was a men's wedding ring.

Secondly, it could not be too flashy because Aron often had to attend formal occasions.

And thirdly, an ordinary ring with no design would not be sincere enough.

Therefore, Evie scratched her head for it.

After negating another version of the design draft, Aron's WhatsApp message popped up on Evie's phone.

Evie took the phone and tapped on it. It was a link that showed the progress of the renovation of the old house on Sycamore Street.

Aron seemed to have told her about periodically telling her the renovation's progress.

Evie opened the link.

The people Aron found were very efficient.

They had already completed renovating the aged electricity and water system.

Evie replied: [The progress is very fast!]

Aron replied instantly: [It's one o'clock. Are you still not asleep?]

Evie looked at the design draft that she had kneaded into a ball and lied through her teeth: [I ate too much at night, and I couldn't sleep.] Aron asked: [Do you want to go out for a walk?]

Evie was speechless.

It was expected of a young man in his early twenties. He had the energy to take a walk at one o'clock in the morning.

Before Evie could reply, Aron followed up with a message: [Walking will help you digest.]

Evie stared at his message.

In fact, tonight, she would still not be able to sleep even if she was not working on the design draft of the wedding ring.

She had been as busy as a bee the past few days.

She hardly thought about Caspian and her mother.

When the topic was suddenly brought up earlier with Athena, she thought her heartache was only a physiological reaction after all these years. However, to her surprise...

The wound she hastily covered was revealed after a gust of wind.
