Chapter 938


    The scorching heat pressed against Thssa’s back, sending a shiver down her spine. She steadied


    herself and clutched the little ones in her arms a bit tighter.


    Doing her best to ignore the formidable presence behind her, Thssa spoke with a softened voice,


    filled with tenderness, “Mommy had to join the boss for aworking dinner; that’s why I’mte


    tonight.”


    “Mommy, is your boss also Daddy?” Dorian lifted his cherub face with those wide, innocent eyes.


    Mentioning Lysander made Thssa’s nerves involuntarily twitch. After a brief pause, she managed to


    say, “No, he’s Dn Crawley’s uncle.”


    “Dn, the kid from my preschool?” Elowen showed interest, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.


    “Yes, that’s him,” Thssa confirmed.


    “Oh, so Mommy works at Dn’s uncle’spany?” Elowen tilted her little head in inquiry.


    “That’s right,” said Thssa as she stood up, hand in hand with the two children, walking towards the


    couch.


    She casually slipped away from Lysander’s grasp on her back.


    Although she kept herposure, her heart raced. She never dared to look back, afraid to lock eyes


    with Lysander’s deep.. prating gaze.


    “Mommy, we had a roboticspetition at preschool today, and I won first ce,” Atticus announced,


    unable to hide his excitement on his cute little face.


    He had won first ce, and the first person he thought to share it with was his mom.


    “Really? My Atticus is so amazing, a realputer whiz, Thssa praised, lovingly ruffling his hair.


    “Mommy, I also won the gourmetpetition!” Elowen raised her hand, not wanting to be outdone,


    boasting about her own triumph.


    “Yes, Elowen is amazing too,” Thssa gently caressed her cheek.


    “And me, I fixed so many antiques,” Sophia chimed in, her cheeks flushed.


    “I’m going to be in a TV show,” Dorian added.


    With a smile, Thssa affectionately touched each of their heads, “Sophia and Dorian are also


    incredible. All four of my little darlings are geniuses.”


    “Mommy, I want to sleep with you and Daddy tonight,” Elowen said with a sweet smile, dimples forming


    on her cheeks.


    Thssa was about to reply when the weight on the couch next to her shifted, and an intimidating


    presence loomed. She turned to see Lysander’s tall figure sitting beside her; his handsome face was


    tense, his deep eyes brooding. “Tonight, everyone sleeps in their own rooms.”


    His voice brooked no argument.

    Thssa tensed up, knowing from his tone that he was not in a good mood, even without seeing his


    face.


    The reason for not letting the children sleep with her became clearer when she recalled Lysander’s


    domineering kiss from earlier; it left her feeling even more uneasy.


    “No, I want to sleep with Mommy!” Elowen pouted stubbornly; her gaze fixed defiantly on Lysander.


    Goodness, wasn’t Elowen usually so sweet and gentle? When had she started to show her ws to


    Lysander?


    Fitch was taken aback, his eyes widening at Elowen’s stance and then flickering towards Lysander.


    Seeing the stormy look on Lysander’s face, he felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sweat breaking


    out.


    He silently rooted for Elowen’s courage.


    Lysander’s brows furrowed slightly, his aura chilling.


    Yet the little ones were in need of their mother’sfort,cking the adults’ ability to read the room.


    I want to sleep with Mornmy too! Dorian echoed.
