"That's more like it. Don't let it happen again."
Calling her Athena feels intimate, but calling her Athena Linton feels too deliberate. Just Athena is alright.
Alice Turner didn't demand Thomas Fisher to add her last name anymore; she felt that such a request was excessive herself.
Hearing his wife say it's okay, Thomas Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you're happy, honey."
"Smooth talker!"
Alice Turner was clearly satisfied with Thomas Fisher's words, smiling, but she quickly put on a stern face again, "What was she doing looking for you in the middle of the night?"
The words "middle of the night" had more emphasis from her, making them stand out deliberately.
"She didn't say, and I can't guess."
Thomas Fisher wasn't hesitant to guess Athena Linton's intentions, but he didn't dare voice his own assumptions, knowing his wife would definitely get upset.
Alice Turner let out a cold laugh, "Can't guess? Or are you pretending to be clueless on purpose?"
