The bond between a mother and a child is truly a moving scene.
Wouldnât it be wonderful if Lysander and Ms. Everhart could just tie the knot? That way, the children would have a complete family and experience the happiest of childhoods.
Fitch had an earnest hope that Thalassa and Lysander would marry. But as a butler, his voice held no weight. He dared not comment on Lysanderâs affairs.
âGranny, I donât want to go home today. I want to go to your place.â Elowen lifted her little head from Evelynâs embrace, her lips pouting in a pitiful plea.
âWellâ¦â Evelyn was not in a position to decide. She turned to Fitch, her gaze both questioning and pleading.
The children understood her look.
Dorian was the first to approach Fitch; tugging at his trouser leg, he tilted his head and said, âFitch, can we go to Grannyâs house? Please!â
âYeah, Fitch, let us go. Youâre the best.â Elowen joined in, swaying his hand as she cooed sweetly.
âFitch, can we do that, please?â Sophiaâs timid gaze also turned to Fitch.
âFitch, please agree.â Atticus chimed in..
Surrounded by the children, Fitch felt a softening in his heart. He couldnât resist their cute pleas and just wanted to agree immediately.
But it wasnât his call.
Fitch was slightly troubled. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, âIâll call Lysander.â
âOkay, tell Daddy we miss Granny. I want the paper boat Granny folds for me. Mine is worn out.â
Elowen bobbed her head like a pecking chicken, her voice soft and cute.
âAlright, Iâll try.â Fitch wanted to do his best to grant them the chance to visit Grannyâs house.
He could see the children were genuinely excited to see their grandmother, they must really love her.
Thalassa was also looking at Fitch expectantly.
Fitch dialed the number. And after a few seconds, it was picked up.
Fitch quickly reported, âLysander, I and Ms. Everhart came to pick up the kids from school. They are excited to see their Granny and want to go to her house.â
Fitch was on edge. After saying his piece, he didnât dare to say more.
Even over the phone, he could sense the strong aura from the other side, which seemed to be leaking out from the screen.
To negotiate with Lysander over the phone took courage.
Lysander didnât respond immediately. There was a brief silence on the other end.
Though it was only a few seconds of silence, it put everyoneâs hearts on edge.
Thalassa was anxiously waiting for Lysanderâs reply.
She was about to lose hope as she received no answer. She thought that Lysander was still angry with her for she could tell from his unrestrained actions yesterday.
It was already a blessing that he didnât punish her and keep her away from kids.
How could he possibly allow the children to go to Evelynâs house?
Lysander has always been so cold and ruthless, hasnât he?
Thalassaâs eyes dropped and she was ready to comfort Evelyn.
âOkay, okay, Iâll tell Ms. Everhart right away.â Fitch hung up the phone gleefully, then turned to Thalassa with a beaming smile. âLysander agreed, but he said to bring the kids back later.â
Thalassa was overjoyed. She was already prepared to console Evelyn, but to her surprise, Lysander had agreed.
