The day continued as it did in her past life. Athena calmly ate her food elegantly, ignoring the please experience of her parents.
She remembered in her past life her parents were pleased of her ladylike behavior. But now they were extremnely pleased. Probably the etiquette classes in her past life really helped.
But in this life, she could care less about elegance and beauty and more about education and protecting herself.
Athena looked up and saw Helen eating her food, quietly. It was like she didn't even exist. But as she looked at the lonely aura she was portraying and remembered the struggles she had gone through. Athena's heart started to ache with pain, sorrow, guilt, and regret. Her eyes turned watery and before tear drop from her gloomy eyes. Helen looked up.
Both the girls had a surprised expression. Helen's expression was because she was surprised to notice the feeling of affection and sadness from her. Last night she had overheard the conversation her new mother and sister were having; torturing her and to take her position as the legitimate daughter. But she didn't take it to heart. She had heard how unwilling her sister was.
While Athena was surprised to see her look up at her. She kind of regretted letting her emotions get the best of her. Athena knew how understanding and smart Helen was.
In her past life, she learned that Helen was very sensitive, probably because of the things she had been through. But since young, she could distinguish a person's emotions. She also was great at expressing her self on paper. Helen was talented, at a point, Athena was genuinely jealous because Helen was a great artist, she could show her emotions in her art and design. She remembers the beautiful designs of dresses, jewelry and modern art she saw in her private diary. This was due to Helen's sensitive but creative personality.
Back from her thoughts, she gave a sincere and genuine smile to her sister. Which only helped to shock Helen more.
Their father, Han quickly left for work after finishing his breakfast and bidding his family goodbye.
.......................
After breakfast, the three ladies sat in the lounge area.
"Helen, sweetheart. I know this is weird for you. A new family out of a sudden, but I hope you can call me a mother. No rush though... take your time" Maria said in an overly sweet voice.
Making Athena gag in her heart.
While Helen just smiled and nodded.
"Both of you are sisters, why don't you talk and play in your rooms. While, I get the maids to send you some snacks" Maria continued, giving a signal to Athena.
"YA! Come on. Helen lets go to my room." Athena agreed. Helen complied half walking and dragged they reached Athena's room.
After reaching her room, Athena closed her room and locked it straight away. These suspicious actions were caught.
Before Helen could start talking, her sister hugged her.
In shock. Helen just stood there, like a statue with wide eyes.
