Chapter 312
Dorian was all hyped up, ready to spill the beans.
He was having a chat with his dad.
But then, out of the blue, he stopped mid-sentence.
His eyes darted around, and then he quickly shifted gears, “By the way, I apologized for my sis and he forgave me. I’m pretty stoked.”
Thalassa had never admitted that Lysander was their dad.
It had always been him and his brother doing some detective work online, and they had nailed down Lysander as their dad.
Cause Lysander was a dead ringer for his brother, and that dragon pendant was the Sinclair family’s heirloom.
The dragon pendant was a love token from Dad to Mom.
All signs pointed to one thing: Lysander was their dad.
But this was just their own deduction. Thalassa had never owned up to it.
His brother had also warned him not to shoot his mouth off, or they might not be able to see their dad in the future.
Remembering his brother’s warning, Dorian zipped it and switched the topic.
He was a pro at thinking on his feet.
Thalassa caught his drift when she heard this, and she gently ruffled his hair. Her voice was full of motherly love. “You’re such a champ, Dorian. I will get you some lollipops later.”
Sophia joined in, looking up at her mom. “I want a lollipop, too.”
“Sure thing, I’ll get one for you, too.”

Elowen was standing by Thalassa’s feet, looking up at her with hopeful eyes, as if she wanted to say she wanted a lollipop, too.
But the tears welling up in her eyes made her both heartbroken and guilty.
She tried her best for a long time, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask for a lollipop.
She lowered her head and cried silently, her shoulders shaking, but she didn’t make a sound.
Thalassa felt a pang of pain seeing her looking so pitiful and sad.
She squatted down to embrace Elowen. She wiped her tears with her thumb and cuddled her, showering her with love. “Don’t cry, Elowen, I will get you a lollipop, too. I know you love lollipops the most. How could I forget about you? And, you bumped into someone by accident just now. It’s not your fault. Don’t feel guilty. From now on, if you bump into someone by accident, just apologize right away, saying it was an accident. That would be even better.”
Elowen leaned into Thalassa’s warm embrace. Thalassa’s familiar scent made her feel secure.
Her sobbing gradually subsided, she raised her little hand and wiped her eyes. Her voice was still shaky, but she was trying to be brave. “I understand, mom. if ! bump into someone by accident in the future, I will say, sorry, it was an accident.”
“Good girl, Elowen, I will give you a kiss.” Thalassa leaned in and gave Elowen a peck on her face.
The soft and sweet feeling was incredibly nice.
Having received her mom’s kiss, Elowen’s mood stabilized, and she stopped crying.
Thalassa stood up, holding Elowen’s hand, and expressed her gratitude to the staff, “Thank you so much for looking after my kids. I truly appreciate it.”
The staff smiled slightly and said, “No problem. Now that you’re back, I’ll leave the kids to you. I gotta go get busy.”
“Alright, thanks for all your help,” Thalassa quickly responded.
The staff then left.
Dorian’s bright eyes scanned the surroundings, and curiously asked, “Mom, where’s my brother?”
“Oh, Atticus, I totally spaced out!” Thalassa was taken aback. She had forgotten that Atticus was still in the restroom.
