Chapter 6


    A new day was on the roll.


    The sun streamed in through the curtains, casting a cozy warmth on Thssa’s face as she slowly


    woke up Peeking her eyes open, she found her adorable little munchkins sprawled all over the ce


    next to her.


    Atticus, being the cool cat he was, slept in military precision, t on his back with his little hands folded


    neatly under his pillow


    Dorian, on the other hand, was a ball of energy even in sleep. He was sprawled out, and his chubby


    little feet were resting on Atticus, with one foot effectively blocking Atticus nostrils.


    Clearly, Atticus was having a rough time even while sleeping. His young brows furrowed and looking


    none too pleased, breathing through his mouth.


    Thssa chuckled at the sight, gently moving Dorian’s foot off of Atticus.


    Dorian’s lips moved slightly, as if aware of the disturbance, but he just shifted positions and continued


    his snooze, undeterred.

    Turning her gaze to the side, she spotted Sophia lying at the edge of the bed. Her short hair was


    boyish, her cherubic face was squished by the bedsheet, and her rosy cheeks were sticking out,


    smooth as a silk.


    Thssa couldn’t help butugh out loud.


    Sophia was the youngest of the bunch and one of the two girls. Normally the youngest kid got the most


    attention, was the most pampered, and knew all the tricks to be cute. But in her household, it was quite


    the opposite. Clowen, the older of the two girls, was the one who was all sugar and spice and


    everything nice


    Sophia, though, was more of a tomboy. She loved ying it cool, hated braiding her hair, and preferred


    rocking a short hairdo with a baseball cap, just like her brothers.


    Suddenly, Thssa had a mini heart attack. Oh crap, where was the fourth one?


    She hurriedly got off the bed to look around, when a soft little body on the floor caught her attention.


    Who else could it be but Elowen?


    She was wrapped in a nket. She had fallen off the bed, slept like a little kitten, and was drooling on


    the wooden floor, asionally moving her mouth.


    Thssaughed and walked over, gently picking Elowen up and carefully cing her back on the


    bed. Elowen rolled a bit on the bed, then continued her dreand journey. This little girl was just too


    cute; her cheeks were round and soft. Thssa was dying to give her a big smooch.


    Unable to resist the urge, she leaned down, intending to nt a big one, but worried about waking her,


    she just lightly kissed each of her little ones Elowen, Sophia, Dorian, and Atticus.


    Their cheeks were soft and sweet, smelling almost milky.


    Ah… waking up every day to see her four little treasures, their adorable sleeping faces… was pure


    bliss!


    Life had its ups and downs, but the happiness these four brought could conquer any obstacle.


    Thssa turned her face towards the sun. Her face was beaming, as she silently cheering herself on.


    Life was beautiful. Another day full of zest!


    After freshening up, she headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.


    “Wow, that smell is making my mouth water. Thssa, what are you cooking that smells so good?”


    When Evelyn walked in, she nced at the kitchen and saw Thssa prepping pasta, so she walked


    over to help.


    “Wow, are we having pasta today? It smells amazing.” Evelyn grinned, her favorite was the scent of


    beef Bolognese.


    Thssa nced at her, noting the dark circles under her eyes. Clearly, she was up all night.


    With concern, she said, “Mom, where were youst night? You can’t keep doing this. You’re not getting


    any younger. What if you damage your health by staying upte?”


    “Okay, okay, I got it. You’re just a kid, and you’re already nagging like an old grandma.” Evelyn avoided


    her gaze, looking annoyed on the surface, but actually feeling a bit guilty.


    She carried a te over to the dining table.


    “Mommy, I’m hungry.” Elowen, who just woke up, mumbled sleepily at the bedroom door.


    Thssa just stepped out of the kitchen and saw Elowen in her diaper with her chubby little legs,


    rubbing her sleepy eyes.


    Seeing this, Thalássa’s heart was filled with love. Her daughter was just too adorable, like a little angel


    “Elowen, you’re awake, it’s time for breakfast, Evelyn called out and started eating.


    Thssa put down the te, walked quickly over to her daughter and picked her up. “Let’s get dressed


    and clean up first, then we can have breakfast.”


    “Mommy, did you make pasta? The smell was so good, I couldn’t sleep. The little girl’s sparkling eyes


    looked at Thssa, full of anticipation.


    Thssa was both amused and amazed at her daughter’s love for food. Just by the smell, she could


    guess what it was.


    Thssa affectionately pinched her face. “Sweetie, your nose is really sharp. You guessed it right.”


    “Mommy, I want to get dressed quickly. I really want to eat Elowen eagerly started dressing herself.


    The other kids woke up too. Thssa handed them their clothes and let them dress themselves.


    Soon, all four kids were seated at the dining table, digging into their pasta


    Elowen ate quickly “Mommy, I want another one!”


    Thssaughed and went to serve her more.


    The family of six sat at the dining table, enjoying their delicious breakfast.


    Thssa looked at the jackets the kids were wearing and said, “Mom, transfer me $500. I’m taking the


    kids to a clothing store to buy them each a new thick jacket. Fall is right around the corner, and it’s


    going to get cold


    ‘Aren’tst year’s jackets still wearable?” Evelyn didn’t look up from her food.


    “Last year’s jackels were bought the year before. They were already a bit smallst year, and we just


    squeezed by This year, they definitely won’t fit.” Thssa knew her mom was frugal, but that didn’t


    mean she had to skimp on the kids‘ clothes.


    Evelyn hesitated. “Well, it hasn’t gotten cold yet. You could find a job and buy them after you get your


    paycheck”


    Seeing her evasive demeanor, Thssa understood what she meant. She put down her fork and


    asked sternly. “Mom, did you go gamblingst night?”


    Evelyn silently continued eating her pasta, not saying a word.


    Thssa suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of dread, “Did you lose all the money I made


    yesterday?”


    Even though she asked, she already knew the answer. She sure did!


    “Thssa, I’m really sorry I saw how hard our family was struggling and thought I could make a quick


    buck to lighten the load. I didn’t expect to lose it all


    She lost it all! Thssa felt like she’d been hit in the chest by a rock, leaving her breathless. That was


    the money she had nned to use to buy clothes and food for the kids!


    All of it was gone in one night!


    What was she supposed to do? Were her kids going to go hungry?


    Just as Thssa felt lost and helpless, the phone rang.


    “Hello, this is the HR manager from the Sinir Group. I was wondering if you would be avable for an


    interview today?” said a formal female voice on the other end of the line.
