Chapter 1658: That Was Quite a Mushy Call

"Your dear Athena called you." Alice Turner didn’t even realize how jealous her tone was when she spoke.

Thomas Fisher was dizzy, not entirely sober, and only heard Alice say someone called him. He didn’t catch who she was actually talking about.

No wonder he couldn’t hear clearly, he was already drunk, and she deliberately called Athena "Athena dear."

"I don’t care who’s calling; I won’t answer. I just want to cuddle with you right now." He shook his head, refusing to answer the call.

"Are you sure you don’t want to answer this call? It’s your dear Athena calling, Athena! Athena Linton! Are you sure you don’t want to answer?" This time, Alice not only mentioned Athena Linton’s name clearly, but she emphasized it three times, the last time using her full name.

This time, Thomas heard Alice say Athena Linton’s name. His eyebrows furrowed suddenly, drunkenly mistaking it as her bringing up old issues, and he ignored the call once more.

"Alice! There’s really nothing between me and Athena, but..."

"Athena! You sure call her sweetly."

Even though Alice knew there couldn’t be anything between Thomas and Athena, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy when she heard him call Athena’s name.

Thomas, in his drunken state, didn’t notice Alice’s jealous behavior. He just followed his instinct and kept explaining to her, "Athena is my big brother’s sister, and like him, I’ve always considered her as a sister. I have no other thoughts about her."

"Alice! I swear! You have to believe me; I absolutely haven’t lied to you." As he spoke, he raised his right hand in a swearing gesture.

"Okay, hurry up and answer the phone, don’t keep your dear Athena waiting too long." Alice shook her head in frustration, wondering why she was discussing this with a drunk.

She picked up the phone, which had rung for the second time, answered it, and then placed it by the man’s ear.

"Thomas brother!"

Before Thomas could regain his senses, Athena’s voice had already come through the phone.

A sweet voice suddenly came to his ear, and Thomas, for a moment, didn’t realize what sound it was. He looked down at Alice in his arms, naturally assuming it was Alice calling him, and his lips curled up, "Honey! I like it when you call me brother, but could you not add Thomas to it? Just call me brother directly."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the women on both sides of the call were stunned.

Alice was the first to react, raising her hand to smack Thomas on the head, "Get a grip, was it me who called you Thomas brother just now?"

Unable to distinguish her voice, she really wanted to twist his ears and reinstall them.

"Wasn’t it you? Then who called me Thomas brother just now? There’s just the two of us here, right?" Thomas still hadn’t realized the phone was by his ear, looking strangely at the woman in his arms.

Alice sighed, rubbed her forehead, took the phone away from Thomas’s ear, and put it by her ear instead, "It’s Athena, right? Sorry, Thomas is drunk. Do you have anything you need? I’ll pass it on to him when he sobers up."

"Alice sis?"

Athena’s tone carried probing, surprise, and a hint of an indescribable emotion.

Before Alice had a chance to respond, Thomas already spoke up, "Honey! Who are you talking to?"
