Chapter 889


    "Y''all get some shut-eye, I''m gonna take a shower." Lysander gently squeezed Elowen''s chubby little


    hand; his deep voice was softened by a hint of tenderness.


    "Okay, Daddy. You go shower. We''ll wait for you," Elowen''s babyish voice chimed in sweetness.


    Her voice could melt Lysander''s heart.


    "Hmm." Lysander responded, his voice deep and maic. He gave her little head a pat before looking


    at Thssa, whose eyes were already on him, brimming with a gentle and loving smile.


    It was a soft look filled with mother''s love.


    When their eyes met, her smile faded and she quickly looked away. He could see that she was still


    guarded around him.


    Lysander said nothing. He let go of Elowen''s hand and headed to the bathroom.


    "Let''s go to bed first. I''ll tell you a story," Thssa said that when she patted the spot next to her on the


    bed.


    The kids scrambled over, eager to snuggle up to her arms.


    Sophia was the nearest, so she secured the spot in Thssa’s arms. Elowen, arriving second, had to


    settle for the next spot. By the time Dorian and Atticus mbered up, Sophia and Elowen had imed


    the best spots.


    They knew the rules - firste, first served. No hard feelings, no fights.


    The children lined up, their tiny arms and legs syed out, resembling little teddy bears. It was a sight


    that was both adorable and amusing.


    Thssa''s heart was filled with maternal love. Her voice was soft and soothing as she began the


    bedtime story, "Sleep tight, herees the story."


    "Ready!" the four kids chimed in unison.


    Thssa began the tale of The Three Little Pigs, a story she had repeated countless times. But the

    kids loved it and they never got tired of it.


    Perhaps they were exhausted from the day''s y because before she could finish the story, the sound


    of their soft, sweet breathing had filled the room.


    Thssa stopped mid-sentence, looking up to find all four of them asleep.


    She gave Sophia and Elowen''s chubby cheeks a gentle kiss. Her heart was filled with love for these


    adorable little beings.


    After tucking them in, Thssa closed her eyes, feeling extremely tired. With the kids beside her, she


    felt incredibly at ease and drifted off to sleep in no time.


    Suddenly, she felt a warm, muscr chest against her back. The solid touch radiated through her


    clothes, along with the faint scent of water. A strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.


    This dominant move startled Thssa awake. She instinctively tried to break free.


    "Don''t move!" a deep, husky voicemanded.


    Thssa froze instantly as she became aware of the heat against her back.


    And she knew better about the change in Lysander''s body.


    Thssa''s drowsiness waspletely gone now. "The kids are still here, Lysander, you can''t..." she


    pleaded weakly.


    "Are they? Where are they?" Lysander''s deep voice echoed behind her ear, his warm breath tickling


    her.


    Thssa, who was ticklish, shrank back. Her foot reached out to feel for the kids on the bed but found


    nothing.


    Where were the kids?


    Weren''t they just sleeping soundly on the bed?
