Chapter 720


    Lysander was soothing the children, promising them that no harm woulde their way anymore.


    They could enjoy their meals without fear of being snatched away by a viin.


    He also cautioned them. He used Faye as a cautionary tale of someone who would do anything to


    achieve her goals.


    Sophia’s innocent eyes welled up with tears, so Lysander gently wiped them away with a tissue. “Don’t


    cry, sweetie. Eat your meal, and then we’ll y.”


    It was a Saturday. There was no school.


    Sophia perked up at the thought of ying and nodded her tiny head in agreement.


    Elowen, a bit braver than Sophia, patted her chest in relief. “Phew, I’m tough. No way I’d get scared.”


    Thssa couldn’t help but chuckle at Elowen.


    What did bravery have to do with lung capacity?


    But children’s logic was often amusingly wed.


    Seeing the children lively again after their scare lightened Thssa’s mood.


    She understood then why Lysander chose to teach them such lessons.


    Morals and values were important to instill from a young age. If neglected, it could be toote, like with


    Faye.


    Perhaps she had been too indulgent before.


    It seemed that children needed a strong father figure to guide them. Lysander could instill in them a


    confidence that could make them shine brightly.


    After their meal, Thssa and the children yed in the yard while Lysander went off to work.


    Though it was Saturday, he seemed to be swamped with work.


    Thssa figured he was busy with the acquisition of all the Brennan family businesses. After all,


    acquiring such arge corporation like the Brennan Group required a lot of follow-up work.


    Dorian and Atticus were ying ser. They chased the ball under the sun as theirughter echoed


    like cheerful birdsong.


    Elowen and Sophia were gathering flowers while ying house with their small baskets.


    The garden was well-tended by Fitch and the servants, so the flowers were blooming brightly.


    The girls were delighted. They were even wearing the flowers like crowns as they giggled at each


    other.


    Thssa watched from a shaded spot nearby as her heart filled with warmth at their happiness.


    This was what happiness felt like.


    On Monday, Thssa returned to work.


    Ethan, her boss, greeted her with concern. “Back so soon, Thssa? You didn’t want to take some


    more time off?”


    Thssa simply smiled. “It’s not a good look to sit at home and collect a paycheck, is it? I’d feel better


    being here and working hard.”


    Ethan chuckled at her response. “You’re quite a character, Thssa. No wonder Lysander is so smitten


    with you.”


    Thssa fell silent.
