"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.
