Chapter 1046


    "Mommy, I''ll stop after this one." Elowen cooed, her voice as sweet as the cherry atop her sundae. She


    yfully stuck out her little pink tongue, licking the whipped cream that graced her ice cream.


    "Mommy, I don''t want to go to bed yet. I want to y with the airne." Dorian tugged at Thssa''s


    pants. His tiny finger was pointing at arge model ne disyed on a stand in the living room.


    "That''s not a toy, sweetheart. It''s a model, and it''s not for ying," Thssa gently tried to discourage


    Dorian''s request.


    Even though Callum had allowed them to stay in his mansion, it didn''t mean they could treat it as their


    own. They had to be careful with the belongings inside. Breaking something would be a nightmare to


    exin.


    Callum caught on to Thssa''s hesitation. A warm, reassuring smile spread across his face as he said,


    "It''s alright, let him y. The model''s just collecting dust anyway. It''s not often it catches someone''s


    eye."


    "Mommy, can I really y with it?" Despite Callum''s permission, Dorian still sought his mother''s


    approval before daring to touch the model.


    Thssa looked down at Dorian. His big, hopeful eyes were brimming with the pure desire to explore


    and y.


    How could she say no and watch his little heart break?


    She couldn''t bear it, so she stroked Dorian''s hair and said gently, "Go ahead, but be careful not to


    break it."


    "Yeah, okay! Thanks, Mommy! thanks, Callum!" Dorian''s eyes sparkled with excitement. After


    expressing his gratitude, he dashed towards the model, carefully touching its wings and fusge.


    Thssa''s lips curved into a smile as she watched Dorian''s ted exploration. Her gaze lifted to meet


    Callum''s kind eyes, his demeanor always so approachable andforting, without any pressure.


    "Mr. Gordon, you should get some rest. You''ve had a long night, and you must be tired." Thssa


    suggested.


    Callum''s smile took on a teasing edge. "I''ve told you, please just call me Callum. No need for


    formalities."


    Thssa felt a bit embarrassed being corrected on the name, but she didn''t want to let Callum down.


    With a shy voice, she relented, "Callum, please go have a rest."


    "Alright, I''ll be in the downstairs bedroom if you need anything. You and the kids should get some rest


    too." Callum said with genuine concern.


    "Sure." Thssa nodded.


    As Callum started towards his room, a sudden, thunderous sound of a ne descending startled


    everyone.


    Callum stopped in his tracks, his face tightening as he looked outside.


    Thssa''s heart sank at the noise, her nerves on edge as she peered through the doorway.


    A sleek, ck ne had touched down in the yard. Its rotors were whipping the surrounding trees and


    tall grass into a frenzy.


    Thssa''s newly found peace was shattered. Her breath was caught in her throat, and her limbs


    stiffened with tension.


    Callum, too, remained still. He frowned.


    Were they already here?


    The ne''s door swung open, and a pair of polished leather shoes stepped out, their shine a stark


    contrast to the dirt and grass.


    Following those shoes, Lysander emerged, tall and imposing, with amanding presence. His


    handsome face was set in a cold, unyielding expression, his aura both intimidating and

    unapproachable. He strode toward the vi, nked by several bodyguards who had also disembarked.


    Lysander had arrived.
