Chapter 304
When Elowen heard Dorian’s cheers and the host’s affirmation, she knew that she had made it. Excited, she started jumping up and down on the stage, yelling out in excitement, “Yay! I’m in for the next round!”
Seeing the joy on Elowen’s face, Thalassa felt genuinely happy.
She took Elowen and Sophia off the stage and followed the staff to the office to collect the rematch pass.
Evelyn, along with Dorian and Atticus, came over and joined them.
Evelyn was all smiles, looking very proud; she was very excited and couldn’t hold in her joy, “My Elowen is a rockstar, just like me!”
“Granny, I’m like you too, I’m awesome!” Dorian said gleefully, clinging to Evelyn.
Evelyn laughed heartily, “That’s right, our Dorian is also a rockstar. He’s the best at making people laugh.”
The staff turned around to see four children of about the same age following closely behind him. They were adorable, each with their unique charm.
Curiously, the staff inquired, “Are these four kids all from the same family?”
Evelyn quickly replied, “Yes, and they all were born on the same day.”
“Born on the same day? Are they quadruplets?” the staff asked, half incredulous.
He had seen many twins, but never quads. It seemed like a miracle to him.
“Young man, you’re sharp! You guessed it right!” said Evelyn delightedly.
“My daughter is amazing. She gave birth to quadruplets. All of them turned out to be smart. Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend disappeared when he found out about them.”
Thalassa felt a bit helpless hearing her repeating the story but she couldn’t remind her now and chose to stay silent.
“The kids don’t have a dad? Who takes care of them?” the staff asked, surprised.
“It’s my daughter. She works very hard, earns as much as men, she’s a secretary in a big company,” Evelyn proudly said.
Despite always chastising Thalassa, Evelyn was always proud of her when in public.
“That’s impressive. You’re lucky to have such a remarkable daughter, and four adorable grandkids. You’re a real winner in life,” the staff complimented as he was surprised to know that she was fighting that tough fight all on her own.
“You bet,” Evelyn laughed.
Once in the office, Thalassa and the group followed the staff inside. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie was berating an employee.
“You can’t even find out the itinerary of the president of the Sinclair group! Why is the company keeping you around if you can’t even handle that?”
The man’s voice filled the office with his roar.
The staff stepped forward and respectfully said to the man, “Mr. Bruce, the winners of the gourmet competition preliminaries are here. We need to register their information and issue them their passes for the next round.”
Hearing that, the man known as Mr. Bruce turned around to see two adult women and four children.
His gaze quickly swept over the children and then immediately fixated on Evelyn.
His eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement, “Evelyn, is that really you?”
Thalassa was very curious to see him recognize her mother. She looked at Bruce, then back at Evelyn to figure out how they knew each other.
Upon seeing the man’s eager look, Evelyn’s face turned sour, “Bruce! It’s you!”
Evelyn was both excited and angry.
Clearly, they knew each other, but from Evelyn’s reaction; it seemed that she and Bruce were not on good terms.
Bruce looked at Thalassa, then at the four children beside her.
Looking back at Evelyn, he couldn’t hide his excitement, “Is this our daughter? Do we have grandchildren too?”
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat at his words.
Evelyn furiously retorted, raising her hand to slap Bruce,
“Shut up! What right do you have to mention a daughter? You cheat!”
Evelyn swung her hand at Bruce, unleashing her anger.
Bruce caught Evelyn’s hands in his, holding them tightly.
