Chapter 926


    Thssa dialed the number, her heart racing as the ringing echoed through the silence, seemingly


    endless until it gradually grew louder, indicating that the call was being received somewhere inside the


    house.


    She turned around just as Lysander''s tall, imposing figure entered the room, his phone in hand, still


    ringing.


    Thssa quickly ended the call, her prepared speech faltering as he approached. "Lysander, I was just


    about to call you. It''s almost Saturday, and I was thinking of taking the kids to my mom''s ce for the


    weekend anding back Sunday afternoon."


    Although she had taken the kids to Evelyn''s ce before, they had never stayed overnight.


    This time, Thssa wanted to spend a couple of days there with the kids, and her heart was filled with


    uneasy anticipation, unsure if Lysander would agree.


    As she finished speaking, she looked into Lysander''s deep eyes, feeling her heart skip a beat.


    "Daddy, we want to go to Grandma''s house," Elowen tugged at Lysander’s shirt, her little lips pouting


    adorably. "We haven''t seen her in so long, and I miss her."


    "Daddy, I want to go to Grandma''s too," Dorian chimed in, his eyes pleading.


    Lysander nced at Dorian and Elowen, his deep voice breaking the silence. "Go y with Fitch for a

    bit. Thssa,e upstairs with me."


    He gave Thssa a knowing look and headed upstairs without waiting for an answer.


    Thssa stroked her children''s hair reassuringly. "Mommy will talk to Daddy. y with Fitch for a bit,


    okay?"


    With a kind smile, Fitch stepped forward. "Dorian, Elowen, let''s go kick the ball around in the yard."


    "Go on, Mommy will be down in a bit," Thssa reassured them with a warm smile.


    The kids scampered off with Fitch, and Thssa ascended the stairs to find Lysander standing in the


    master bedroom, his presencemanding.


    Swallowing her fears, she approached him, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her cheek


    against his chest.


    Lysander tensed, surprised by her initiative.


    Thssa could feel the heat of his heart through his shirt, its steady beat syncing with her own erratic


    pulse.


    Fighting to keep her emotions in check, she spoke softly, "You''ve had a long day at work. My mom''s


    been missing the kids terribly, and I thought it''d be nice for them to spend a couple of days with her.


    They adore her, and they miss their grandma too. We''ll be back Sunday afternoon. Is that okay?"


    Her voice trembled with nervousness.


    She had never been one for coquettish charm or deliberate ttery. But with Lysander, even if it didn''t


    Evelyn was right; a bit of sweet talk could soften Lysander''s often stern demeanor.


    Her tender words melted the ice in Lysander''s heart, his breath growing heavier.


    "Okay," he replied in a low, hoarse whisper.


    A wave of relief washed over Thssa.


    "Do you need me toe with you?" Lysander asked, his voice still deep and resonant.
