Chapter 277


    She bent down to hug him, speaking softly, “Atticus, you’re only four, still a kid, you should be having


    fun ying with other kids. Look, they’re all having a st, isn’t that great?”


    “But I want to y on the tablet at home.” Atticus confessed, thinking the kindergarten games were too


    childish and he’d rather stay at home learning to code, ying those high-tech hacker games.


    The games required thinking, but they were fun.


    Thssa was taken aback. She had no idea that Atticus was a genius hacker. She thought he was just


    addicted to video games, and now, at such a young age, he was missing out on the fun of real life.


    She said seriously, “Atticus, the world inside the tablet is virtual, it’s all fake. The people and things


    around us are real. You can’t just want to y games. How about this? Mom will make a deal with you:


    you can only y on the tablet for half an hour a day and the rest of the time you read or y with your


    siblings, okay?”


    Atticus thought for a moment. Half an hour was actually a lot of time to learn.


    Seeing his mom’s worried face, he knew she was worried about him.


    To ease his mom’s concern, he nodded in agreement, “Okay, Mom.”


    “You’re such a good boy and you’re amazing.” Thssa was relieved.


    Evelyn returned from grocery shopping and walked in to see Thssa talking to Atticus. She gave


    Atticus a nce, then did a double take. “Hmm, why does Atticus look familiar? I feel like I’ve seen a


    face like his somewhere. Where could it be?”


    Evelyn massaged her temples, thinking hard.


    Watching Evelyn struggle to figure out who Atticus resembled, Thssa’s heart tightened with worry.


    If Evelyn found out that the children’s father was Lysander, she would definitely go after him, making


    him acknowledge his children.


    That would be troublesome.


    Lysander had a fiancee, and he was bound to marry the heiress of the Ravensong group, Charlotte.


    Where would that leave her?


    She was nothing.


    She only had four children.


    She could not afford any risks..


    “Atticus is handsome so he must look like some TV star.” Thssa quickly said, sessfully diverting


    Evelyn’s attention.


    “Yes, he looks like some movie star, a handsome one, but I can’t remember his name for the life of


    me.” Evelyn said, having an aha moment, and then walked into the kitchen.


    Atticus was waiting for his mom to say he looked like her boss, but Thssa said he looked like a star.


    So, his mom still wouldn’t admit Lysander was their dad.


    So was Lysander their dad or not?


    Atticus felt confused and lost.


    “Mom, where are the fries and fried chicken you promised to bring me?”

    Thssa’s sleeve was tugged, and looking down, she saw Elowen pulling her dress, her little cute face


    full of cravings for food.


    Only then did Thssa remember she had promised Elowen that morning to bring her some yummy


    food.


    But she was called for dinner after work today, got into trouble with Charlotte, and was then driven


    home by Leopold.


    She didn’t even have a chance to buy fried chicken or fries, let alone remember them.


    Feeling sorry, Thssa said, “I’m sorry, Elowen. Mom was too busy and forgot. How about I go get it


    for you now?”


    “What’s the point of buying it? Dinner’s almost ready.” Evelyn stood at the kitchen doorway with a


    spat and said, “You’re the only one earning money for the whole family, we


    need to save where we can. I used the money you gave me yesterday to buy baby form and pay


    rent, there’s not much left.”
