Athena wanted to ask Antonio when last he had spoken with the children—like, called them to know how they were doing—but she kept her silence.
She knew he hadn't, not in a very long time. If he had, the children would have let her know, as they ran down their activities of the day. So, why then would he say that the children weren't on his side? When last did he visit just to see them?
Yes, he was busy, but he didn't get to turn around and say certain things. And when he did visit, he was all about getting even with Ewan. He didn't even talk with her friends—not really—except to ask them something in relation to her or Ewan.
Chelsea had made mention of that during the introductory party. Areso too.
Yet, it was somehow their fault—her fault—not his? He was the one distancing himself, not the other way round!
