Chapter 1036
Lysander floored the elerator. His car dashed down the highway like a bullet, hurtling towards Star
Harbor Vi.
Meanwhile, Thssa drove at a more cautious pace. With four kids and Evelyn in tow, she didn’t dare
to drive too fast.
They arrived at Star Harbor Vi in good time, and what they found there dropped their jaws.
"Wow, an airne! A real one!" Dorian''s little mouth gaped in astonishment. He had had many toy
airnes before but never seen a real one.
"It''s actually real, a real airne!" Atticus echoed in amazement.
Despite being a whiz on theputer, Atticus had never been up close with an aircraft before. For him,
it was like discovering a new world.
"Oh, so this is an airne." Elowen remarked, her interest more subdued. Mechanical things like
nes didn''t fascinate her as much as her brothers.
"Is it Daddy? Did Daddye in the airne?" Sophia piped up. Her questionden with the innocent
hope that their formidable father was the pilot of this impressive machine.
Thssa’s heart was shaken upon hearing Sophia’s question. She hadn''t confirmed if Lysander was
the one who had arrived with the airne, but just the mention of his name sent waves of dread
through her.
It dawned on her that only the exceptionally wealthy or influential could afford such luxuries as private
nes. And Lysander, with his immense wealth and connections, fit the bill perfectly.
Thssa had seen Lysander in full force before — descending from a ne with an entourage of
bodyguards, an imposing sight to behold. Only someone like Lysander couldmand such presence.
Her anxiety spiked as she scanned the surroundings for the owner of the aircraft.
"I''m in the ne. Bring the kids up; we''re leaving shortly." A man''s voice came out from an open
window.
Thssa turned towards the sound and saw Callum''s serene and handsome face.
Relief washed over her as she realized it was Callum, not Lysander, who hade for them.
She took Elowen and Sophia by the hand and headed towards the ne''s entrance. "Darlings,
Mommy''s taking you away tonight. From now on, we''ll live just live a happy and peaceful life like
before." she said, trying to sound upbeat.
Elowen suddenly halted. She gripped Thssa’s hand tightly and stopped her in her tracks. She
looked up with a puzzled expression and asked in her soft, childish voice, "Mommy, aren''t we taking
Daddy with us?"
"Yeah, aren''t we taking Daddy?" Sophia chimed in, equally curious.
The question stung Thssa like a tiny bite, a poignant reminder of her predicament.
She squatted down to their level and exined gently, "Your daddy is very busy and doesn''t have time
toe with us. And Mommy can only take you guys away."
"Why?" Sophia asked, her confusion clear.
Before Thssa could respond, a spark of understanding lit up Elowen''s eyes. "Oh, I get it! Daddy and
Mommy aren''t married, so they can''t live together. That''s why we have to live with just one of them."
she reasoned.
Many of her kindergarten friends lived with both their parents because they were married. Elowen
recalled her ssmate Dn Crawley telling her how much his parents loved each other and him, and
how happy they were living together as a family.
"Why could we live with only one of you?" Sophia still didn''t understand.
Elowen exined like an old soul, "Because if Daddy and Mommy aren''t married, they aren''t a family.
They are two separate households. We could only live with one, either Daddy or with Mommy. We have
to choose. It happened to Lily, my friend from kindergarten, too. Her parents got divorced, and she had
to choose."
"And why aren''t Daddy and Mommy getting married?" Sophia looked up at Thssa with innocent,
wide eyes, wishing for a simple answer that would bring her family together.

Thssa’s mouth turned bitter with the taste of sorrow and hard truths. She was about to speak when
Elowen, seeming wise beyond her years, said, "It''s because Daddy and Mommy don’t love each other.
Mommy, why don''t you like Daddy?"
