Chapter 14
“Well, I see. You should get back to your things. I’m off* Thssa waved to him and then walked to the
other side of the road to wait for the bus.
Man, she almost thought David was ck in work, talk about a facepalm moment.
Thssa got home, pushed the door open and a cozy family scene greeted her.
There was a young woman sitting on the sofa She was petite, with a round face and a pair of lively big
eyes. Her dark hair was tied in a ponytail and she looked downright bubbly
Thisdy was Thssa’s good friend. Hertha. Four kids were huddled around Hertha, hanging on
every word of her story. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, fixated on her, listening to her tell the tale
of the little bunny and the big bad wolf in her yful voice.
“The bunny thought its mom was back and opened the door. But surprise, the person outside removed
the mask to reveal the fierce fangs of the big bad wolf and, Grrrr, it lunged at the bunny.” Hertha’s voice
was sometimes high, sometimes low, and she spoke in an animated and interesting manner. She even
opened her mouth wide, imitating the appearance of the big bad wolf
“Don’t eat me. Don’t eat me!” Elowen, who was closest to her, buried her head in her arms, her voice
trembling with fear.
Their oldest, Atticus, said aloofly. “This is so childish and boring. That’s not how a wolf howls”
Their second son, Dorian, had teary eyes and clenched fists in front of his chest, looking helpless and
pitiful. He pouted and said, “Poor little bunny”
Their little daughter, Sophia’s eyes sparkled with determination as she waved her tiny fists, “If the big
bad wolfes, I’ll beat it!”
Hearing the innocent words of the four kids, Hertha wasughing her head off.
Thssa walked in with a bright smile, “Hertha, howe you have time to drop by today?”
Upon seeing her mom, Elowen quickly covered her face with her hands. The big bad wolf is pretending
to be mom. If I can’t see her, she can’t see me…”
Her reaction sent Hertha into another fit ofughter. She removed Elowen’s hands and pinched her
cheeks, “You’re so cute, I could just eat you up. That’s your mom, not the big bad wolf I was just telling
a story”
Elowen’s eyes lit up and she immediately ran into Thssa’s arms, “Mom, I was so scared.”
Thssa gently hugged her and patted her back, “Don’t be scared, mom and your brothers will protect
you.”
“Okay” Elowen nodded
The other kids also came over wanting a hug from Thssa. Her smile was warm as she hugged each
of them, feeling their softness and baby smell. At that moment, she felt like the luckiest woman in the
world.
“Thssa, I missed the kids. I had some free time today, so I thought I’de by,” Hertha told
Thssa.
“Let’s have dinner together tonight. It’s been a while since west had a meal together, Thssa said.
“Sure, I’d love to. By the way. I heard from Evelyn that you’re now working at the Sinir Group. That’s
the bestpany in our city. You must be pretty kick–ass to get in Hertha’s eyes were sparkling with
joy as she felt happy for her friend.
Thssa smiled, “Yes, I worked hard I don’t want anyone looking down on me.”
A confident woman was the most beautifull Thssa’s pretty face seemed to glow.
“Yes, our Thssa is very strong. Raising four kids on her own, she’s a very brave woman. How could
she be anything less? The key point is that she’s been supporting four kids single–handedly, without
everining about being tired. This great achievement is enough to surpass many people,” Hertha
praised her from the bottom of her heart.
She and Thssa were friends from college. They used to live and eat together. Their friendship was
rock solid.
“Yes, her achievements are indeedmendable, but I’m about to drop dead, Evelyn emerged from
the kitchen and plopped the te heavily on the table, giving Thssa a slight frown, “Please eat this
popcorn chicken quickly. Your kids might not finish it.”
With that, Evelyn went back to the kitchen to get busy.
Thssa and Hertha exchanged nces, and she yfully stuck her tongue out, sitting down to eat
the freshly made popcorn chicken.
The smell was mouthwatepng, and the popcorn chicken was crunchy and delicious. Thssa had
missed lunch, so she was feeling pretty hungry. This was perfect for filling her stomach
“Mom, I’ll help you eat. Elowen, the foodie, climbed onto the chair to help her mom solve the
“problem“.
With the joint effort of Thssa and Elowen, the te of popcorn chicken was quickly wiped clean.
Elowen had oil stains at the corners of her mouth, and she looked up at Thssa with a smile, her
eyes curved into crescents, “Mom, I love you the most, can I get a kiss?”
The little one had her mouth full of food, her cheeks puffed out and lips puckered, looking like a little
goldfish.
Thssa’s heart was melting. “Of course, my Elowen is the best.” She nted a kiss on the little girl’s
face.
Elowen ran off satisfied to y
Hertha was sitting across from her, her face held in her hands, watching her with envy.
People thought that Thssa, raising four kids on her own, would be worn out and may look forty
before she even turned thirty. But in reality, it was the exact opposite
Thssa was 27 this year, but she looked young and beautiful, just like a girl who had just turned
twenty. This was not only because she took care of herself, but also because she had a positive
mindset, always optimistic and full of energy
Also, she was living a happy life every day, which made her look particrly young. Her four kids were
also very well–behaved, which made her feel very
relieved. Having these four little treasures was like having the world’s treasures.
“Why are you looking at me like that, do I have something on my face?” Thssa was curious about
Hertha’s gaze and touched her face.
1 envy you, being loved by four adorable kids every day What a bliss, Hertha said, wishing for the
same happiness
Haha, you could pop out a bunch of kiddos after you get hitched too, Thssa chuckled, weing
her admiration.
“Why do you have to get married before having children? I can be like you Wait until the kids are four or
five years old and still not tell them who their dad Is, as long as they don’t need their dad around
Hertha said something shocking
Thssa quickly mped her mouth shut, casting a wary nce towards the kitchen, worried that
Evelyn might overhear. She lowered her voice. “Shush it,dy It’s not like I’m purposely keeping it
under wraps I genuinely have no clue who their dad is.”
She had thought about tracking down the guy before, but how was she supposed to do that? There
were so many people in the whole wide world, she can’t possibly go around asking every single one,
can she?

“Seriously, not a single clue?‘ Hertha leaned in closer, her eyes brimming with curiosity.
The four kids are so cute, they don’t particrly resemble Thssa, they must have gotten their good
looks from their old man. Hertha was dying to see. just what kind of guy was the father of these little
munchkins.
As Hertha was grilling Thssa, the four little ones sneaked to the wall, poking their heads out,
eavesdropping on their conversation.
They too, wanted to know, who their daddy was.
