Chapter 301
“Unbelievable! You have quadruplets and all of them are so gorgeous. You’re one lucky lady!” The store owner said, clearly in awe of Thalassa.
“Thank you!” Thalassa replied sincerely.
“Which one is this one?” The owner asked, looking at Sophia.
“She’s the youngest, the fourth one,” Thalassa answered.
“Ah, the youngest. My son also has two older sisters. They all seem to have the same taste in toys. Must be a connection. Tell you what, your daughter seems to really love this toy. I’ll sell it to you. My son found it on the beach. How about for ten bucks?” The owner proposed a deal and agreed to sell that toy for a price.
The small circular pendant was just a toy and an old one at that, found by the owner’s son on a beach.
Its value was certainly less than ten dollars, even ten cents would be pushing it.
But Thalassa couldn’t bear to disappoint Sophia, who was looking at the pendant with such hope.
So, she agreed to his proposal, “Alright, we’ll take it.”
“Mommy, I want that teddy bear,” Elowen tugged at Thalassa’s clothes, pointing at the plushie.
“Mommy, I want that Spiderman mask,” Dorian too found a toy she liked.
Atticus kept silent. He thought the toys in the store were childish.
He only liked playing with his tablet and coding.
“Okay, mommy will buy them for you,” Thalassa replied gently.
After the children picked out their toys, Thalassa paid for them, and they continued browsing.
If it were a normal day, Evelyn would stop the kids from buying those toys, especially since the old circular pendant was priced at ten dollars.
But today, Evelyn wanted to spoil the kids and didn’t intervene and agreed to their requests.
Elowen hugged her teddy bear tight; her small face pressed against its fluffy body. She loved it.
Dorian wore his Spiderman mask, jumping around and stretching out his hand, embodying the character perfectly.
And Sophia, after a long time of admiring the circular pendant, put it away in her pocket, satisfied.
Thalassa felt warm seeing her children so happy.
When they reached the entrance of the mall, there was a stage set up. A crowd had gathered, and a broadcast was playing, “International gourmet competition, taste as much as you like!”
On hearing that, Elowen’s eyes lit up and she ran towards the stage with a smile to figure out what was going on there.
“Elowen, slow down,” Thalassa said, worried she would get lost. Holding Sophia’s hand, she quickly followed her.
Dorian and Atticus trailed behind Evelyn.
Elowen pushed through the crowd to the front, Thalassa and Sophia followed closely behind.
On the stage was a rectangular table laden with all sorts of delicacies.
The aroma filled the air, making everyone’s mouth water.
Elowen was beyond excited, her chubby fingers pointing at the food, her cheeks flushed as she expressed her demand, “Mommy, I want to eat, I want those foods.”
Elowen had loved food since she was a baby.
“Alright, Mommy will take you up there, Thalassa said affectionately.
A staff member saw them approaching and politely asked, “Hello there, would you like to join the gourmet competition? If you register, you can taste all the food for free.”
A gourmet competition?
She didn’t think she was quite up for it.
Just as Thalassa was about to decline, Elowen tugged at her hand, hopping excitedly, “Mommy, I want to eat, I want to join the competition!”
