Chapter 419
“And me, I want to sing a song for Elowen too.” Dorian eagerly raised his hand, volunteering with enthusiasm.
“Alright, Dorian, what song do you have for us?” Hertha played the role of the host.
Dorian sang the latest hit from the DJ charts.
After finishing, Dorian tilted his small head back, his innocent eyes sparkling. “All my classmates know this song, and they can
do the dance too.”
Thalassa and Hertha had never heard this song before. They exchanged surprised glances.
Were they too out of touch?
Were even preschoolers able to sing the latest pop songs?
“Great job, Dorian, you have a beautiful voice.” Thalassa quickly gathered herself and started to clap.
Hertha joined in the applause.
At this moment, Evelyn brought out the food and placed it on the table. Her expression was still somewhat downcast as she said,
“Dinner’s ready.”
“Alright, let’s eat first, and then we can have the cake,” Thalassa suggested.
They sat around the dinner table, and in no time, all the dishes were wiped clean.
Thalassa gave a thumbs-up, praising, “Mom, your cooking just keeps getting better. It’s even better than eating out.”
Evelyn rolled her eyes at her, saying, “Stop buttering me up.”
Even though she said this, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up into a small smile. She got up and started to clear
the plates.
After dinner, they gathered around to sing a celebratory song for Elowen. Since they couldn’t agree on a specific song, they
decided to just sing “Happy Birthday.”
As they sang, they clapped in rhythm.
Elowen, like a birthday queen, sat in front of her cake, accepting the blessings and birthday song, her soft, adorable face filled
with a sweet smile.
Once the song ended, Elowen blew out the candles but failed on the first try.
On the second try, the four kids blew the candles together.
The candle flames flickered for a moment, then went out.
Thalassa helped Elowen cut the cake, serving a slice to everyone, and they happily began to eat.
Elowen, always having a sweet tooth, couldn’t resist it, despite having just eaten dinner. She held her spoon, shoveling the cake
into her mouth.
She ended up with cream all over her face and mouth.
She looked like a little kitten with cream smeared all over its face. It was absolutely adorable.
Thalassa’s heart was melting.
She pulled out a napkin, tenderly wiping the cream off Elowen’s face, “Slow down. No one’s going to take your cake.”
After wiping Elowen’s face, she turned around to see Sophia’s face also covered in cream. So, she took another napkin and
wiped Sophia’s face too. Even though she hadn’t tasted any cake yet, just seeing the children enjoying their cake heartily filled
her with sweetness from the heart to the taste buds.
Being with the kids was her happiest and most fulfilling time.
After dinner, Hertha left.
Thalassa played some games with the kids for a while, then joined Evelyn in bathing the kids.
In bed, Thalassa told the children bedtime stories.
Evelyn peeked in and stood at the door. She watched as each child snuggled as close to Thalassa as possible, listening intently
to her story with complete dependence.
And Thalassa, her voice soft and sweet, was immersed in a state of pure love.
It was a picture of warmth and healing.
It warmed Evelyn’s heart, causing her eyelashes to flutter and her eyes to water. She turned off the light, closed the door, and
went to sleep in the next
room.
Soon, Thalassa had lulled the children to sleep.
She got up, took a bath, and as she came out, her phone on the side table rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Leopold.
She frowned slightly, but she answered it anyway.
want to see you,” Leopold said bluntly on the phone.
