Chapter 927


    Thssa, raising her head from Lysander’s embrace, hastily said, "There’s no need; just let Fitch take


    us in the minivan. You''re so busy with work, and I wouldn’t want to take up more of your time."


    Lysander''s gaze lingered on her with a dark intensity, his breath hot on her face. "Are you sure you


    don’t need me toe with you?"


    "Absolutely sure. We''ll be back in a couple of days," Thssa reassured him, her eyes shimmering


    with a light that only deepened his smoldering stare.


    A flutter of panic seized Thssa, fearing he might change his mind. She rose on her tiptoes and


    pressed a fleeting kiss to his lips. "You''re the best, you know that? Off I go. See you in two days."


    With those hurried words, she turned and practically bolted from the room.


    Lysander stood motionless, watching her retreat. A ripple of heat coursed through him, though he


    forced it down, his Adam''s apple bobbing with the effort.


    Downstairs, Thssa quickly gathered the children in the yard. "Kids, time to hit the road to Grandma''s


    house!"


    Dorian, clutching a ser ball, paused mid-y, then dropped the ball and dashed towards Thssa,


    rolling towards her like a tumbleweed. "Oh yeah, awesome! Can''t wait to see Grandma!"


    "Mommy, wait for me! I''ming too!" Elowen''s little legs pumped furiously as she ran to catch up, not


    wanting to be left behind.


    "I wanna go too!" Sophia''s little face flushed with urgency as she sprinted towards her mother.

    Atticus, usually silent, quickened his pace to join them.


    The ser ball they had been ying with moments ago was forgotten, lying abandoned on the grass.


    Thssa led her excited troop out the door.


    From the second floor, Lysander watched through the picture window as the minivan pulled away, his


    deep-set eyes reflecting the warmth of the setting sun.


    ...


    "Wow, Grandma''s house is so pretty!" Elowen''s mouth hung open in awe, wide enough to fit an egg.


    "It''s huge! Grandma, did you strike it rich or something?" Dorian gazed up at Evelyn with wonder


    sparkling in his innocent eyes.


    Evelyn couldn''t help but smile at their childlike exuberance.


    "Do you like it? You’ll have plenty of room to y here," she chuckled.


    "Yeah, we love it! But we love Grandma more. Wherever Grandma is, that''s where we want to be,"


    Elowen''s little voice was so earnest. It brought a chuckle from everyone.


    Evelyn touched Elowen''s cheek affectionately. "You sweet talker, Grandma adores you."


    "What about me, Grandma? Do you like me too?" Dorian looked up, seeking his share of affection.


    "Of course, Grandma loves you too."


    "And me?" Sophia piped up, not to be forgotten.


    "What about me?" Atticus chimed in, a rare contribution.


    Evelyn wrapped them in a big hug, nting a kiss on each of their cheeks. "I love all of you, my little


    darlings. You''re Grandma''s treasures."


    Dorian let out a cheer, his joy infectious.


    Thssa stood to the side, watching Evelyn bond with the children, her face unable to hide her


    contentment.


    "Mommy, we want to sleep with you and Grandma tonight," Elowen said, her eyes brimming with


    longing for thefort of her mother and grandmother''s presence.


    "Of course, Grandma will sleep with you munchkins," Evelyn beamed, her heart full. The noisy chaos


    that once overwhelmed her now seemed like the sweetest melody.
