Chapter 1818


    This time, it wasn''t just a nod from his mom, but also a thumbs up from his dad that lit up Atticus''s face with visible joy. "Awesome! Elowen and Sophia are gonna be over the moon!"


    Atticus Sinir wasn''t just happy for himself; he was genuinely thrilled for Elowen and Sophia too.


    Seeing Atticus so chuffed, Thssa felt a warm glow in her heart, gently ruffling his soft hair.


    It had been three years since she''d seen her own kids, and now, reuniting brought a tender warmth to her heart, easing feelings of longing and solitude.


    Being with those who matter made fame and fortune seem trivial.


    Soon, the car pulled up at the military academy''s entrance, and Atticus knew it was time to get out. Turning back, he looked at Lysander and Thssa reluctantly: "Mom, Dad, I gotta go."


    Hearing the reluctance in Atticus''s voice, Thssa couldn''t help but feel her eyes moisten, but she managed to keep the emotion at bay, smiling at Atticus, "Let me walk you to the gate."


    Atticus didn''t respond right away but looked at Lysander for approval.


    "Go ahead, I''ll wait for your mom here in the car," Lysander said.


    Brightening up, Atticus took Thssa''s hand, "Mom,e on, but let''s take it slow."


    With Atticus''s support, Thssa got out of the car.


    Holding her hand, Atticus led her excitedly towards the front, proudly introducing, "Mom, look, this is where me and my siblings go to school. Impressive and majestic, right? And let me tell you, the instructors are so cool! They might be strict during lessons, but they''re really good to us." Thssa could hear the pride in Atticus''s voice and followed his gaze towards the school. Standing at the gates were two young men in military uniforms, their posture impable, exuding a sense of dignity.


    The school''s exterior resembled a formidable fortress, with national gs around, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere that was deeply moving. It was a profound feeling of patriotism.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Taking in the school''s surroundings and the solemn atmosphere, Thssa could understand Atticus''s pride and felt a deep connection to his emotions.


    Coming back to the moment, Thssa told Atticus, "It indeed looks like a great school. I''ll make sure to thank your instructors when I meet them."


    Thanking them for educating her


    child so well, instilling in him love for his family and country, and teaching him right from wrong at such a young age was indeed rare and


    commendable.


    "Mom, the school gate is opening; I gotta go in now," Atticus said, looking towards the gate as a soldier opened it for him since his leave had ended, specially opened for his return.


    "Alright, hurry on then," Thssa said, guiding Atticus towards the gate.


    The punctuality of the school and Atticus''s strong sense of time made Thssa appreciate the military academy''s strict discipline, prompting her to adopt a simr level of seriousness.


    As Atticus walked into the school, he turned around in thest second before the gate closed to wave at Thssa.


    Standing still, Thssa saw Atticus waving at her and quickly raised her hand to wave back, her face always wearing a smile.


    Once the gate closed, cutting off her view of Atticus, the tears she had been holding back fell.


    These tears wereplex, not just


    for the sorrow of parting with Atticus but also for the pride in having such a sensible child and the


    overwhelming joy from feeling


    Atticus''s deep love.


    After standing at the gate for a while, Thssa wiped her tears and turned to walk back.


    By the car window, Lysander had been watching Thssa from a distance, his gaze profound and thoughtful.
