Chapter 748


    As soon as Thssa appeared in the doorway, four pairs of innocent and ebony eyes turned to look at


    her simultaneously. Seeing their mother, their eyes lit up like the night sky filled with stars.


    The expressions of sadness that had haunted their faces just moments before were instantly reced


    by excitement.


    “Mommy!”


    “Mommy!”


    “Mommy!”


    “Mommy!”


    The little ones let go of Fitch and dashed towards Thssa; they ran like baby penguins as their


    chubby legs moved fast.


    Thssa crouched down, arms outstretched, ready to wee her little cherubs.


    Sophia ran a little too fast that she tripped over her own feet and fell t on her face, sliding a few feet


    forward on the polished marble floor. “Sophia!” Thssa’s heart clenched with worry.

    “Miss!” Fitch called out in concern as well.


    Without waiting for the adults to react, Sophia pushed herself back up onto her feet as agile as a


    gymnast and continued her sprint towards Thssa. The other three tots reached Thssa first and


    piled in her arms. Thssa, already weak at the knees, was nearly bowled over and pitched down to


    the floor by their enthusiastic swoop.


    But a strong arm wrapped around her from behind and steadied her.


    She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. The familiar warmth and strength were


    unmistakably Lysander’s.


    Thssa’s racing heart slowed as she gathered the three little ones in her arms.


    Sophia was a step behind the others and found no room left in Thssa’s embrace. She stood there,


    looking lost for a moment, before spotting a small gap and squeezing herself into Thssa’s arms.


    Holding two of her kids in each arm, Thssa couldn’t hide her wistful thinking. She nted a kiss on


    Elowen’s chubby cheek, then one on Sophia, followed by Dorian and Atticus.


    Their cheeks were soft and squishy, smelling sweetly of milk. Thssa’s heart swelled with affection.


    “Mommy, why haven’t youe to see us for so long? I missed you so much I couldn’t eat,” Elowen


    pouted, voicing her grievances.


    “Oh, my poor little Elowen, you are losing weight these days. I’m so sorry that I stayed away for so


    long. Mommy needs to work, but how about I take you


    to Grandma’s ce tomorrow?” Thssa’s heart filled with warmth as she gently pinched Elowen’s


    rosy cheek.


    “Yes, yes, I miss Grandma so much,” Elowen danced with joy.


    “Me too, I miss Grandma, Dorian nodded in agreement.


    “Me too, chimed in Atticus.


    “I want to stay with Grandma!” Sophia’s eyes welled up with tears.


    Thssa felt a pang of guilt and helplessness. She looked at Lysander for approval.


    She hadn’t mentioned her n of taking the kids to their grandmother’s ce to Lysander before. Now


    she was bringing it up to the kids so abruptly and worrying about Lysander’s refusal.


    Lysander caught her apprehensive gaze and said, “We’ll discuss tomorrow’s ns when tomorrow


    He then turned to Fitch, “Have they had dinner?”


    “They just finished not long ago. I will arrange for two more servings right away,” Fitch responded,


    about to hurry off to the kitchen when Lysander stopped him.


    “No need, take them for a bath; it’s time they went to bed,” Lysander instructed.


    “Understood, Fitch nodded, summoning the maids to take the children to the bath.


    Thssa caught Lysander’s deep-set gaze. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly averted her eyes,


    ‘Elowen, Sophia, let Mommy help you with your bath.


    She then quickly followed the kids towards the bathroom.


    Being alone with Lysander was dangerous; his mere look was enough to unsettle her.
