Chapter 937


    Susan’s face twisted with fury and envy, but when Callum nced over, she switched to a smile in an


    instant.


    In the few seconds Callum had to observe, he caught a glimpse of Susan''s two-faced charade. With a


    sardonic chuckle to himself but a practiced grin on his face, he said, “Susan, what happened? Couldn’t


    charm Mr. Sinir into giving you a ride home?”


    He hadn''t seen what went down in the VIP lounge, but he had a pretty good hunch about Susan’s


    intentions—she must have pulled out all the stops trying to seduce Lysander, and failed!


    Susan''s forced smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly reverted to a coquettish one. “Oh, Mr.


    Gordon, you jest. Mr. Sinir and I have only met a few times. Why would he take me home? We’re


    hardly old friends.” Despite not outright denying her desire to go home with Lysander, her words


    remained yful.


    Callum had to give her credit for being so brazen about her ambitions.


    “If you’re looking for assistance, maybe I can be of service.” With that, Callum sidestepped her and


    walked away.


    Susan’s pulse quickened as she spun around to face his retreating back. “Mr. Gordon, are you saying


    you can help me win over Lysander?”


    Callum paused momentarily, then proceeded without looking back.


    Frowning, Susan thought how odd Callum was—offering help then brushing her off.


    ...


    At the Royal Estates.


    As soon as the car halted, Thssa flung open the door and marched towards the house, not daring to


    nce back.

    “Kids, once you’ve finished bathing, I’ll take you to meet your father. He can then take you to find your


    mother, alright?”


    In the living room, Fitch was trying to soothe the four little tykes.


    Dorian, arms crossed, pouted, “Hmph, I don’t wanna bathe until Daddy’s back.”


    “I want Mommy to wash me,” Elowen said, eyes brimming with tears.


    “I want Mommy, and Grandma,” Sophia murmured, tears circling her eyes.


    “Is Daddy with Mommy?” Atticus inquired.


    Thssa walked in to find the four kids standing their ground against Fitch, adorably fierce.


    Their chatter was all about wanting Mommy and Grandma.


    Thssa''s heart, panicked and icy moments before, melted at the sight, and a smile spread across her


    face. “Why aren’t you bathing? Mommy''s here."


    At her voice, four little heads whipped around, and seeing her, their eyes lit up like stars in the night


    sky.


    “Mommy!” they chorused, scurrying towards Thssa on stubby legs.


    Thssa crouched down, arms wide open to embrace her darlings.


    “Mommy, why’d you take so long?”


    The little ones piled into her arms, with Elowen clutching at Thssa’s shirt, nuzzling into her embrace.


    The momentum nearly sent Thssa tumbling backward, but arge hand steadied her, securing her


    from behind.


    The hand''s warmth was dry and intense, aforting anchor amid the chaos.
