63 Bringing Gifts For a full minute , there was deafening silence in Athenas living room .
The twins stood together , with Kendra behind them , as they darted glances between Ewan and their mother .
Ewan was befuddled , staring at the twins enamored by their resemblance , especially the male child .
He almost smacked himself on the head when a realization suddenly dawned on him .
When Zane had said that he would miss the twins , he was talking about these kids .
Athenas kids .
Ewan hadnt known they were twins , because Sandros report hadnt clarified that .
Who was the kid behind them ? Ewan tried to make out the features of little girl behind the twins , but for some reason , his eyes kept returning to the twins , especially the male one .
The male one , who had the demeanor of someone familiar … Ewan cocked his head slightly , to his right side .
Who did the boy remind him of ? Maybe if he could remember the person , then he would be able to figure out who Athenas husband was .
Thinking of Athenas husband made him look at Athena .
She was staring at him , thoroughly hand .
rtled , while remaining immobile with the tray in her Was she that surprised to see him ? Was this an after effect of the time they had spent in the elevator ? Ewan refused to let his smile show .
And here he was , thinking he was the only one that didnt sleep last night .
Hey … sorry for dropping in like this , I just had to do it , to thank you for a whole lot … for … His words kickstarted Athena into motion again .
She hurriedly kept the tray on the center table , and walked up to Ewan with a no smiley face.
She looked at the gift bags he was carrying , and frowned .
Whats all this ? Ewan has since stopped talking .
He shrugged his shoulders now .
Gift Items .
To thank you for accepting to be my doctor , for helping my company stand , and for not hating me … totally .
Nathaniel coughed dramatically , causing Athena to take her lips In .
She needed to get Ewan out of here .
63 Bringing Gifts Quickly , she took the four gift bags he presented to her , and dropped it on the table too .
Thank you .
There are some for the children too … although I wasnt aware you had a third one .
She looks different from the twins … Athena was stomped .
Why was fate straining to rain on her parade ? She is the childrens friend .
Thanks again for the gift .
She turned to the children .
Children , thank Mr.
Ewan for the gifts … Ewan noticed the twins glare at him , instead .
He piqued his eyebrows at the show of welcome .
Seeing as they werent receptive , their friend wasnt too .
They didnt like him ? Were they thinking he was making a pass at their mother ? He sidestepped Athena , who suddenly became stone , and knelt before them .
Im sorry , children .
Im not sure for what , but Im sorry .
Ewan didnt understand himself either .
Why was he apologizing ? Although looking at the twins made his head hurt , he was prepared to be on their good side , just as Zane was .
Maybe he could be their deputy godfather ? Ewan was immediately stupefied at his thoughts .
What was he talking about now ?! Why did he want the children to like him ? The more the twins looked at him , as if trying to decipher his act , the more his head hurt .
He tried to look away , but their eyes beckoned on him .
Who did they remind him of ? He thought , inhaling sharply when Athena tapped him on the left shoulder impatiently .
You can leave now , Ewan .
It will take a while for them to accept your presence as my partner .
Why are you even apologizing ? business Beats me … He sighed , got to his feet , and sat on the sofa , inhaling sharply when the sound of plastic breaking was heard .
With widened eyes , he looked at the children .
The twins were glaring at him again .
You just broke our toys , Mr Ewan … Ewan nodded sheepishly , and gingerly got up from the sofa .
And when he looked down at the sofa , he noticed the green broken toy .
How hadnt he seen that ? Im sorry .
I will get a new one tomorrow .
The male child waved him off .
Dont bother .
Im not sure you can afford it .
63 Bringing Gifts Ewan was gobsmacked .
What the hell ! He tried to decipher the moods of the children , but his head kept thrumming with aches .
He gave up .
He could think of them later .
He turned to Athena , and furrowed his eyebrows , having noted her restlessness .
She was acting weird .
He thought , like a deer caught in the headlights .
Why was that ? Children , eat your snack .
Mr.
Ewan will be going now … The children obeyed , but they kept giving him side glances , especially the female twin .
Your children are very beautiful … Ewan went for a compliment , ignoring Athenas dismissal , as he tried sitting down again .
This time around , he checked to be sure there were no toys in the space .
He sat down when he found none .
But Athena chose then to terminate his visit .
Children , say goodbye to Mr Ewan .
He will surely be going now … This time around , the children were more responsive .
Thank you .
Goodbye .

Ewan looked at Athena .
But she wasnt giving him any ground .
She wanted him gone .
He stood up again from his seat , waved at the children , and sauntered to the door .
He paused by the doorstep and turned , aware that Athena was right behind him .
Why are you in a hurry to see me go ? Is it because of what happened this morning ? We can pretend that it never happened .
But it did happen , didnt it ? Lets just work towards never making it happen again .
As you can see , I have my hands full with three children , I dont want a fourth … Ewan ignored the snide jab .
Who is she , the third one ? A daughter of a sick patient .
The woman is bedridden , so I had to take care of the children til she is completely okay .
Ewan bobbled his head .
Thats nice of you .
Athena forced a thin smile on her lips , and gestured to the door .
Why are you in a hurry to see me leave though ? You dont want me near your children ? No , Ewan .
I dont .
My children are off limits .
Ewan nodded slowly , before glancing at the children one more time .
Watching them laugh over something , brought another ache to his head .
He turned away , held his head , and managed to hold back a scream .
But the pain brought with it the flash of his constant dream , the one with a memory of his accident .
Yet it wasnt what stopped him short .
What called him to a halt , was seeing that the boy in the dream , his little self , resembled little 63 Bringing Gifts Nathaniel so much that they could easily be twins ! Could it be ? He tried turning toward the children again , but Athena gently pushed him out of the open door .
Thanks for visiting , Ewan .
