Chapter 300


    Thssa and Evelyn headed out with four kids in tow, off to browse the nearby mall.


    Usually, Evelyn didn’t let Thssa take the kids to ces where they might splurge a lot.


    But today, the kids had been waiting for Thssa to return home, feeling a bit spooked and hard done


    by.


    The kids were pretty savvy, not throwing tantrums even when they were scared, saving her from a


    headache. So, Evelyn figured that they deserved a treat for handling the situation calmly and off to the


    mall they went.


    Inside the mall, Sophia instantly glued herself to a toy store and refused to budge.


    Her eyes were fixed on a circr pendant that looked like it had been dug out of the dirt, with cracks


    filled with soil stains that wouldn’t wash off, looking all grubby and worn.


    Thssa squatted down and asked her, “Sophia, do you want to buy a toy?”


    Sophia, full of excitement, nodded, “Yeah.”


    Thssa pointed at the plush toy area and asked her with a smile, “Which plush toy do you like? Just


    pick one and I’ll buy it.”


    Sophia pointed her small hand towards that circr pendant in the corner, “I want this.”


    Thssa followed Sophia’s pointing finger, seeing an old circr pendant, she said, “This probably


    isn’t for sale, right? Just some old junk?”


    Feeling perplexed, thinking there was nothing fun about it, she suggested to Sophia, “How about you


    pick something else, okay?”

    Sophia shook her head, her eyes full of stubbornness and disappointment. She just wanted that


    circr pendant.


    Seeing Sophia’s expression, Thssa felt a pang in her heart. She didn’t want to upset her daughter,


    so she walked into the toy store and asked the shopkeeper, “Excuse me, how much for that circr


    pendant?”


    The shopkeeper looked puzzled as he told her, “Circr pendant? We don’t sell those here.”


    Thssa led the shopkeeper to the front of the store, picked up the circr pendant from the corner,


    and showed it to him, “This one, my daughter really likes it, can we buy it?”


    The shopkeeper looked at it, andughed, “Oh, this? This was unearthed by my son at the beach


    yesterday when he was ying in the sand. He yed with it for a bit and then left it in the store. It was


    probably a toy that some kid left in the sand, and my son dug it up.”


    Thssa was initially nning to persuade Sophia to look at other toys, but seeing Sophia’s eyes


    almost obsessed with the circr pendant, she chose not to do that


    Sophia, although the youngest of the kids, was usually very well-behaved and obedient, cooler than


    Elowen who was clingy and cute.


    She was never the type to throw tantrums or demand things.


    It was a rare sight to see Sophia having her heart set on a toy, eyes glued to it, wanting it so badly..


    Thssa couldn’t bear to see her upset and asked the shopkeeper, “Sir, does your son still y with


    this pendant?”


    The shopkeeperughed, “Oh, he’s got new toys, he’s already forgotten all about this one.”


    Just then, Evelyn walked over with the other three kids, all of them clustering around Thssa, calling


    her mommy.


    The shopkeeper looked at the kids, curious and delighted as he asked, “Wow, these four kids are so


    cute, are they all yours?”.


    Thssa smiled and nodded.


    “So, these four seem about the same age, are they quadruplets?”


    “Yes, they are,” Thssa answered with a smile on her face.
