Chapter 298
Thalassa was freaking out, scared that Evelyn would come over, especially with four adorable kids in
tow.
Her heart pounded as she quickly dashed toward Evelyn, hoping to prevent her from coming her way.
“Mom, I’m back, aren’t I?” Thalassa, gripping Evelyn’s arms, said nervously.
Evelyn, being well-acquainted with her daughter, could tell she was on edge. She forcefully and
puzzledly looked behind her, “Who brought you back? You seem so nervous.”
Seeing her looking toward Lysander’s direction, Thalassa became even more anxious and quickly
blocked Evelyn’s view, “No one, I took a taxi back.”
While talking, she glanced back and found the spot where the black car had been parked was now
empty.
Lysander’s Rolls-Royce had long gone.

“Look at you, all jittery from taking a taxi back. If I didn’t know better, I’d think it was your boss who
brought you back. How could you possibly match up to a big shot like him with your circumstances? It
would be good enough if you could find a regular guy who doesn’t mind your job or your four kids,”
Evelyn looked at her.
Feeling ridiculed, Thalassa became a bit upset and said seriously, “Mom, how can you talk like that?
Where am I lacking? And those four kids are my treasures, and I don’t need to care about others’
views.”
Having corrected Evelyn’s perspective, Thalassa turned and headed home.
Evelyn realized she had been a bit too harsh. Thalassa was very pretty, and she was good at her job.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Evelyn quickly followed her, but she had never apologized in her life.
She wouldn’t apologize now, either. Instead, her tone softened, “Yes, the kids are lovely. But you work
so hard every day, it’s not enough to support four kids. Don’t you feel tired?”
“I’m not tired. I feel thrilled with the kids. How can I be tired?” Thalassa said.
“You cheeky, girl.” Evelyn said helplessly.
Suddenly, Evelyn noticed Thalassa’s unfamiliar dress, “Thalassa, where did you get this dress? I don’t
remember you buying this.”
Moreover, the dress looked pricey.
Thalassa’s clothes were usually cheap stuff bought online. They weren’t as well-designed or of as high
quality.
Thalassa then realized she was wearing the dress Lysander had prepared. If Evelyn knew it was a gift
from another man, she would definitely probe further, maybe even confront him.
To avoid trouble, Thalassa said, “I accidentally spilled coffee on myself while working overtime. This is
a dress a colleague lent me. I need to return it when I go to work on Monday.”

When they got home, no kids were in sight, which puzzled Thalassa. Suddenly, she heard a noise from
the kitchen. She went to the kitchen and saw the four kids bustling about. They were preparing milk.
Atticus was handling the kettle with effort and caution, standing on a stool and pouring hot water into a
clean milk bottle. His serious yet adorable expression was priceless.
Dorian stood behind him, his little hand supporting Atticus, preventing him from falling.
Elowen and Sophia stood behind Dorian, looking up with their chubby faces full of anticipation. They
watched their brother prepare milk.
The kitchen was dominated by the four adorable kids.
Watching all this, Thalassa felt her heart melting.
She quickly stepped in, took the kettle from Atticus, and said softly, “Let me pour the water,
sweetheart.”
