Chapter 82
Thalassa quickly finished washing up and found Evelyn cooking in the kitchen,
She glanced at the time, it was almost 1p.m. It would be her lunch break if she headed to the Sinclair Group now!
After a moment’s consideration, she decided to go after lunch
So she calmed down and joined Astrid and the kids’ game with a w
a warm smile
“Mommy, want a cockie?” Elowen held up her chubby little hand that had a teddy bear-shaped fruit cookie in it as her big eyes
shimmered.
Thalassa smiled and took the cookie from her. Thank you, Elowen”
“You’re welcome. If Mommy’s happy, I’m happy” Elowen grinned as two cute dimples appeared on her chubby little face.
Thalassa’s heart felt warm.
While Evelyn was cooking, she thought of their trip back to Hollowbrook the day before yesterday.
Isabella’s house was tall and luxurious, blocking the sunlight from their house.
Isabella drove back home in her fancy car while they took the train, carrying a bunch of stuff. The difference was like night and
day.
Isabella’s family wore designer clothes and expensive jewelry, while she was dressed in rags with nothing to her name.
Their family of seven was crammed into an 80-square-meter house, which was even rented.
The thought of all these filled her heart with pain.
Evelyn came out of the kitchen and saw the warm and joyful scene in the living room.
Thalassa was sitting on a foam mat, surrounded by the four kids, who were happily playing with toy trains.
Thalassa was holding a toy train, imitating the sound of it starting up. The four little darlings acted as passengers, pulling on each
other’s clothes and moving along with the toy train as their laughter rang out like silver bells.
Evelyn was already feeling down, and seeing this made her feel even more helpless
How could Thalassa be so carefree? She had no sense of urgency.
If it were anyone else, with two elders to take care of and four kids to raise, they’d be struggling to breathe under the pressure.
But not only was she not worried, she was even able to play happily
Her attitude towards life was truly surprising
Evelyn frowned and said to Thalassa in a stern voice, “You’re so late and you’re not worried at all? Aren’t you afraid of getting
fired? You have elders and kids to take care of, so can you be more responsible?! All you do is play and eat all day!”
Thalassa’s smile froze a bit. She gave a dry laugh and said. “Mom, I’ll go to work after lunch.”
“Who said I was making lunch for you? I’m not. Evelyn sard coldly
Elowen got up on her hands and feet and toddled over to Evelyn. She tugged at Evelyn’s dress, tilted her little head back, and
said in a soft voice, “Granny. please make lunch for Mommy. Mommy will be hungry if she doesn’t eat
Sophia chimed in adorably, “If Grandma won’t feed Mommy, we’ll give her our snacks. Mommy’s really reliable, Grandma
shouldn’t always scold her
Thalassa was moved to tears by the kids’ words
Evelyn sighed as her voice became gentler, 1 didn’t say I wouldn’t feed your mother, just that she shouldn’t eat at home. She
should go to a restaurant
Elowen’s eyes lit up. “I want to go to the restaurant too, can I?”
Evelyn smiled helplessly, “Your mommy’s going on a date, you kids shouldn’t go and make a fuss,”
She finally managed to arrange a date for Thalassa with a man who knew she had four kids and was still willing to meet. She
couldn’t let it be ruined.
it was a rare opportunity for a man to agree to a date with Thalassa
