Chapter 925


    After a moment of thought, Thssa decided to give Lysander a call.


    She shouldn''t take the fifty million.


    The phone rang for a while before being picked up.


    Lysander didn''t utter a word, but the heavy silence on the other end was almost palpable, sending a


    wave of anxiety through her.


    "Lysander, I have received the fifty million but I think I should give it back to you," Thssa blurted out,


    urgencycing her voice.


    "The ne was a gift to you, so it''s yours," Lysander''s deep, resonant voice finally broke the


    silence.


    "But..."


    Before Thssa could say another word, the line went dead.


    Thssa pulled the phone away from her ear, staring at the screen, which now disyed the call had


    ended. She took a deep breath.


    Since Lysander had said so, she decided to keep it.


    Descending the stairs, Thssa found Evelyn cleaning up after dinner.


    "Thssa, are you going to eat? If not, I''ll start doing the dishes," Evelyn called out upon seeing her


    "I''ll have a little. Your cooking is always too good to pass up," Thssa said, a warm smile ying on


    her lips, her words sweet as honey.


    Evelyn chuckled, "You always know just what to say."


    Pleased, Evelyn piled more food into Thssa''s te.


    "I mean it; the meals you made are genuinely delicious," Thssa added, seated at the dining table,


    eating heartily.


    She wanted Evelyn to feel appreciated and needed; it always lifted her spirits.


    "Eat up, then," Evelyn encouraged.


    "Sure. Oh, and I''ll bring the kids over on Saturday. They''ve been asking about you, but they''ve got

    school this week and we can''t have them upte and sleepy," Thssa suggested.


    "That would be lovely, dear. The house is spacious enough now for them to run around. They''ll have


    fun," Evelyn replied with enthusiasm.


    "Yeah, the kids will love it," Thssa responded, still smiling.


    "I can''t wait to see our four little darlings," Evelyn beamed, anticipation clear in her voice.


    "It''s Thursday today, so just a couple of days to go," Thssa said.


    ...


    Friday afternoon, after work, Thssa made a beeline for the Royal Estates.


    The kids would have been home from school earlier than her work release.


    When she arrived at the Royal Estates, the children were indeed already there.


    "Mommy, Mommy''s back!"


    "Mommy, I was about to send Fitch to look for you!"


    "Mommy! Hehe, Mommy!"


    "Mommy!"


    The four little ones had been tugging at Fitch''s clothes, but the moment they saw Thssa enter, their


    eyes sparkled, and they hurried towards her on their stubby little legs.


    Thssa quickened her pace to meet them halfway.


    Upon reaching her, the kids clung to her legs, rubbing their faces against her like little kittens.


    Surrounded by her four munchkins, Thssa felt her heart melt. Their chubby, squishy cheeks nearly


    set off her inner girly rms.


    Patting their heads, she asked, "How about Mommy takes you to Grandma''s? Does that sound good?"


    "Yeah, yeah, good!" The kids were ecstatic, their voices in unison.


    "Uh, Ms. Everhart, you might want to give Lysander a call," Fitch interjected, a tad ufortable with


    the idea of her taking the kids without notice.


    Thssa''s heart tightened, the smile on her face fading slightly as she steadied her breath. "Alright, I''ll


    call him."


    She wondered if Lysander would agree to let her take the kids to see Evelyn.
