Upon seeing the emerald pendant in Thalassaâs hand, Sophia immediately let go of Elowenâs hand, straightened up her tiny body and tried her best to grab the pendant.
With a fond smile, Thalassa handed the pendant to Sophia: âHold it tight, donât drop it.â
Holding the emerald pendant, Sophiaâs eyes sparkled with intelligence. She examined it closely, then exclaimed with surprise, âThis pendant⦠I think Iâve seen it before. Itâs the one mom drew before.â
Hearing this, Atticus quickly approached. His eyes were clear, his gaze fixed on the pendant, his brows furrowing slightly.
This pendant was indeed the one he had seen on the computer before. It was the memento their dad had left for their mom. This was their dadâs pendant. They could find their dad now.
Dorian and Elowen also leaned in, their little heads close to the pendant, eyes wide and unblinking.
They were always enthusiastic about anything related to their dad.
âHey, were you guys there when I drew this pendant? Thalassa asked in surprise. How did Sophia know she drew this for Hertha Kensington before? When she was showing it to Hertha, the little ones were playing games in the room and shouldnât have seen it.
Little did Thalassa know, the kids were peeking through the door crack, saw her drawing the pendant, and even found the original. design on the computer, which led them to the owner of the pendant. So they had found Lysander and tried to ask him face-to-face if he was their dad, but were chased away by Faye.
As Thalassa asked in confusion, Dorian was the first to react. He smiled, his eyes sparkling with a playful light that could melt anyoneâs heart. âMom, you drew it when you were teaching us to draw, remember?â
With his handsome features and mischievous expression, Dorian could easily melt hearts. Thalassa was filled with maternal love, her heart softening. She had no more rationality to question further, and said with a laugh, âReally? I must have forgotten. Good memory, Dorian,â
She affectionately ruffled Dorianâs hair.
âWait, thatâs not right! Sophia suddenly exclaimed in her childish voice.
The other three turned their eyes towards Sophia, waiting for her to continue. Holding the emerald pendant, Sophia pointed to the side of it with her thumb and said, âThis pendant was made this year, but momâs pendant has been missing for five years. It couldnât be the one mom lost.â
âWhat?â Thalassa was surprised and took the pendant from Sophia to examine it closely. It was identical to the one in her memory, and she couldnât find anything wrong Gretaâs expression changed slightly, she forced a smile and said, âThalassa, this is the one you lost.
What do kids know?â
Thalassa thought for a moment, and agreed. Sophia was just a kid, she might just be speaking her mind, it couldnât be taken too seriously. However, Atticus seemed nervous, afraid that mom would be deceived. He gently nudged Sophiaâs arm.
Sophia looked up, her chubby face soft and squishy, and said, âMom, look at the side of the gem. It has the date the pendant was made. The engraving is small, but if you look closely, you can see it.â
Thalassa was skeptical, but still did as Sophia said. She turned the gem over, stared at the side, and sure enough, there were tiny letters engraved.
She squinted hard to read it and finally made out: LX20/10/2023.
Clearly, the numbers at the end were the date it was made.
2023, wasnât that this year?
And 20/10 must be October 20th.
