Chapter 536
The little ones were eager and overjoyed at the prospect of seeing their mother soon. They scurried
towards the exit with lightning-fast steps.
But as they neared the door, the path was blocked by two towering figures.
Sophia, who was leading the pack, could not halt her steps in time. She crashed into one of the
bodyguards, who managed to catch her in time, reducing the impact so that she did not fall. The other
three tumbled into the mix, creating a pile of excited children. It was a near-disaster, but the brawny

bodyguards were able to prevent any serious mishaps by each catching two children in their arms.
“Let go! Our mom is waiting for us outside. She’ll be upset if she has to wait too long,” pleaded Dorian,
struggling in the arms of the bodyguard. His young, sweet voice was full of longing
and concern.
The bodyguards did not release the children but instead turned to Lysander for guidance.
Lysander did not respond immediately. So, the bodyguards stayed their course. Atticus furrowed in
frustration. He also looked to Lysander, awaiting his decision.
Just as Lysander was about to speak, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Zephyr.
As soon as he answered the call, Zephyr’s voice, deep and filled with suppressed irritation, came
through. “Lysander, the three months we agreed on are up. What are you nning to do about your
rtionship with Thssa?”
During the observance of Lysander’s parents’ memorial, Zephyr and Lysander had agreed to allow
Lysander three months to understand Thssa better. If Thssa proved to be a good match for
Lysander, Zephyr would support their union fully.
But if Thssa turned out to be a maniptive gold-digger, Lysander was to sever all ties with her.
That day marked the end of those three months.
Upon hearing that, Lysander’s calm demeanor darkened considerably. “I will handle it,” he assured
Zephyr.
“I just got off the phone with the top brass at thepany. The Sinir Group has been hit by a cyber
attack, with a million dors transferred into Thssa’s ount. You haven’t recovered the money or
shown up at the office. Lysander, I don’t want to see you repeating your father’s mistakes. Some bonds
are meant to be broken,” Zephyr cautioned, his voice filled with genuine concern for Lysander and
disappointment in Thssa.
Lysander clenched his jaw, and his face grew darker.
Zephyr continued, his voice breaking with anger and frustration. “I’ve heard from your aunt that
Thssa is your nephew Leopold’s ex-girlfriend. She’s been stringing him along even after their
breakup, even managing to obtain a family heirloom meant for his wife. Leopold ispletely under
her spell. She’s ying both sides and even made off with a chunk of money! How is she any different
from Belinda? Lysander, I trust you’ll handle this properly. The Sinir family cannot afford another
Belinda. Hasn’t your father suffered enough?”
Lysander gripped his phone tightly. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging. His face was as
dark as a stormy sea.
“I won’t forget our agreement. Don’t worry,” he reassured Zephyr before hanging up.
He looked up to meet the questioning gaze of the bodyguards, as well as the hopeful, bright-eyed
stares of the four little ones.
Their eyes were twinkling, full of anticipation of meeting their mother.
Lysander gritted his teeth and dered sternly, “Go back and change your clothes. We’re off to a new
preschool.”
Their eyes, previously shining with anticipation, were immediately filled with disappointment.
Elowen’s big, bright eyes welled up with tears and she began to pout.
Sophia let out a loud wail.
Dorian stiffened. His whole body was tense with anger and his breath came in short, sharp gasps.
Atticus, utterly deste, began to struggle vigorously in the arms of the bodyguard, no longer caring
about following any rules.
