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 momentâs consideration, she decided to go after lunch So she calmed down and joined Astrid and the kidsâ game with a w a warm smile âMommy, want a cockie?â 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, Elowenâ
âYouâre welcome. If Mommyâs happy, Iâm happyâ Elowen grinned as two cute dimples appeared on her chubby little face.
Thalassaâs heart felt warm.
While Evelyn was cooking, she thought of their trip back to Hollowbrook the day before yesterday.
Isabellaâs 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.
Isabellaâs 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 otherâs 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, theyâd 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, âYouâre so late and youâre not worried at all?
Arenât 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!â
Thalassaâs smile froze a bit. She gave a dry laugh and said. âMom, Iâll go to work after lunch.â
âWho said I was making lunch for you? Iâm not. Evelyn sard coldly Elowen got up on her hands and feet and toddled over to Evelyn. She tugged at Evelynâs dress, tilted her little head back, and said in a soft voice, âGranny. please make lunch for Mommy. Mommy will be hungry if she doesnât eat Sophia chimed in adorably, âIf Grandma wonât feed Mommy, weâll give her our snacks. Mommyâs really reliable, Grandma shouldnât always scold her Thalassa was moved to tears by the kidsâ words Evelyn sighed as her voice became gentler, 1 didnât say I wouldnât feed your mother, just that she shouldnât eat at home. She should go to a restaurant Elowenâs eyes lit up. âI want to go to the restaurant too, can I?â
Evelyn smiled helplessly, âYour mommyâs going on a date, you kids shouldnât go and make a fuss,â
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 couldnât let it be ruined.
it was a rare opportunity for a man to agree to a date with Thalassa
