Chapter 1005


    Elowen was scatterbrained at the worst possible moment — in front of Lysander, no less. If he caught


    on to what she was up to, Thssa’s n to delete the video was going to hit some serious turbulence.


    Elowen nced over at Dorian, watching as his yful wink morphed into a serious gaze, then turned


    to Atticus, her little brother''s brow furrowed in concern.


    She couldn''t grasp why everyone was so somber, and it was making her feel uneasy.


    She looked up innocently at Lysander and wanted to ask what was going on, worrying she might have


    done something wrong.


    Lifting her eyes, she saw Lysander''s icy, handsome face. His presence was stern and intimidating, an


    almost tangible pressure emanating from him.


    Elowen''s luminous eyes widened and blinked, her longshes fluttering like butterfly wings as she


    finally caught up with the situation.


    She had promised her mother to keep a secret, not to let Daddy know that Atticus had been helping


    with Mom''s work stuff.


    And she had just blurted it out.


    Meeting Lysander''s scrutinizing gaze, Elowen''s sweet little voice tried to rify. "Daddy, I didn''t say


    anything just now, didn''t say how Mom''s still clueless aboutputers and needs Atticus to help with


    work stuff... You didn''t hear a thing."


    With that, her chubby little hands covered her mouth, signaling that her lips were sealed.


    Dorian felt helpless and speechless.


    If it hadn''t been for Mom''s quick thinking in confusing Elowen''s thoughts, the secret would''ve been out.


    Atticus was quiet, his sister''s attempt at rification was pretty much a giveaway. Thankfully, she didn''t


    remember the specifics of what Mom had told her to keep secret that morning.


    Sophia was dazed, silent, and unaware of what was going on.


    Her clueless and cute expression was endearing.


    Finally, Lysander''s imposing aura seemed to rx a bit.


    His deep gaze shifted to Thssa, who had just let out a sigh of relief, only to catch Lysander''s eye,


    and her heart tightened once again.


    Lysander spoke in a deep voice, "Let''s get the kids home."


    Thssa was momentarily stunned then quickly nodded, "Yes, I''ll take them."


    As she reached for Atticus'' hand to lead him to her car, Lysander''srge palm enveloped her wrist. His


    rough skin disclosed a powerful grip.


    Thssa''s heart skipped a beat as she looked up into his domineering eyes.


    "Your car can be driven by the chauffeur. You all will ride with me." Lysander stated decisively.


    "I want to ride in Mommy''s car. I want Mommy to drive." Atticus piped up, tilting his little head back to


    gaze at Lysander with innocent eyes, making his case.


    "You''ll be with your mom in my car, isn''t that enough?" Lysander countered.


    "But I want to be alone with mommy, to teach her about the software..." Atticus'' voice trailed off,cking


    confidence.


    He wasn''t actually going to teach her software, but rather use his hacking skills to keep something from


    Dad, which was why he sounded unsure as he said “software”.


    To Lysander, it seemed Atticus was worried he''d mock Thssa and was being protective of her.


    "No one will say anything, go ahead and teach." Lysander said.


    Then, turning to Thssa, who was trying to avoid his gaze, he added, "Am I so unreasonable?


    Learning is nothing to be ashamed of."


    Thssa felt a jolt in her chest, lifting her eyes incredulously to Lysander.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
