"I''ll let you know when it’s time," Lysander said, ending the call abruptly.


    David''s hands clutched the steering wheel firmly as he carved out a moment to nce at Lysander. "Mr. Sinir, where to now?"


    Had Mr. Sinir really instructed Fitch to stop picking up the kids for a while? Did that mean the kids were going to stay at


    Thssa''s ce for the time being?


    Since when had Mr. Sinir be so charitable?


    Of course, that was a question he dared not voice out loud.


    Lysander, massaging the bridge of his nose, looking a tad weary, replied, "The office."


    "Alright," David responded, spinning the wheel to change direction. He took a quick glimpse of Lysander in the rear-view mirror.


    The usually stern and formidable man seemed enveloped in a faint air of mncholy today.


    "Mr. Sinir, it''s after hours. Are you heading back to the office to work overtime? You seem beat. Maybe you should head home


    and have a rest," David blurted out, concern for his boss''s well-being.


    “Are you missing Afrnd now?" Lysander shot back a deep, prating look.


    David mped his mouth shut instantly.


    Thssa and Evelyn returned to Star Harbor Vi with the four kids in tow.


    The children were buzzing around Thssa and Evelyn, bouncing off the walls with joy.


    “Mommy, | won first ce in the preliminary round of the gourmetpetition again! My teacher said if | make it through the next


    round, | canpete abroad," Elowen gushed, clutching Thssa''s clothes, her dimpled smile utterly charming.


    She was sharing her joy with her mom.From N?velDrama.Org.


    "Wow, our little Elowen''s going international! That''s amazing!" Thssa pinched her chubby cheek.


    "Yeah, | agree," Elowen beamed with pride.


    "Elowen, modesty is a virtue. Remember?" Dorian reminded her.


    "Modesty? Is that something | can eat?" Elowen tilted her head in confusion.


    Dorian sighed, "Foodie sees the world only through the lens of a menu.”


    m a foodie, and | n to taste all the delicious food the world has to offer," Elowen dered with pride, not in the least bit


    offended by Dorian''s teasing.


    Watching the kids so full of life and adorably cute, Evelyn''s smile seemed soldered to her face, never once faltering.


    The once quiet and empty house was now infused with warmth and life, reminiscent of days gone by—when they were strapped


    for cash but brimming with happiness.


    "Thssa, you y with the kids for a bit. I''ll go make dinner," Evelyn offered.


    Thssa stopped her, "Mom, you y with the kids. I''ll take care of dinner."


    With that, she headed to the kitchen.


    She could tell having the kids around lifted Evelyn''s spirits immensely.


    She had tried to take Evelyn on vacation to rx, but to no avail.


    But now, with the kids back, sparks had returned to Evelyn''s eyes.


    Just let Evelyn spend more time with the kids. Thssa didn''t mind taking on a bit more.


    Thssa whipped up the kids'' favorite curry chicken, crispy fries, and shrimp soup.
