Chapter 655
A few days ago, Lysander had been under the mistaken impression that it was Evelyn who had pushed Grandma Sybil, leading to her passing away. Out of rage, he had forbidden Thalassa from seeing their children.
Today, he allowed her to see the kids, possibly because he couldn’t stand their whining any longer. Plus, he had also found out that Grandma Sybil’s death had nothing to do with Evelyn.
Struggling to get up, Thalassa attempted to push herself off the ground, but her legs were too weak.
Suddenly, the hand at her back gave her a boost, helping her to stand. She quickly glanced back at Lysander and murmured a shy “Thank you.”
“Mommy, Daddy bought me so many toys. I’ll take you to see them. There’s so many!” Elowen, who had just been complaining about Lysander, seemed to have forgotten all about that. She excitedly pulled Thalassa towards her room to show her all the new toys.
“Daddy bought me a lot of action figures too. I love them!” Dorian was equally excited. He was eager to show off his toys, too.
“I got two more tablets,” claimed the adorable Atticus.
Thalassa nodded, then gently asked the timid Sophia, who was quietly standing by her side. “Sophia, what about you? What did Daddy buy for you?”
Sophia glanced at Lysander nervously before quietly answering, “Daddy gave me the antique room in the backyard.”
Thalassa was surprised. Lysander had given Sophia the entire antique room?
“Many of the paintings in there are broken. I want to slowly repair them.” Sophia explained with eyes filled with anticipation.
Thalassa was taken aback for a moment before she gently ruffled Sophia’s hair. “That’s a good idea. You can practice and become a great antique restorer one day.”
Elowen then led Thalassa into her princess-themed room.
“Mommy, look at all my toys!” Elowen was overjoyed. She pointed to a heap of toys on the table while bouncing around like a little cherub.
Among the toys were fluffy teddy bears, Barbie dolls, and even glowing music boxes. There was also a pig-like thing that Thalassa couldn’t identify.
Noticing Thalassa’s confusion, Elowen quickly grabbed the pig-shaped toy and brought it over. “Mommy, this is a bubble camera. When you press it like this, bubbles come out!”
As she demonstrated, colorful bubbles began floating into the air. The other children squealed with delight and rushed over to pop them.
Thalassa felt a warm smile spreading across her face as she watched her children play happily.
Just as she was about to catch a particularly large bubble, Dorian darted in. He leaped into the air and popped it with his small hand. In his excitement, he lost his balance and bumped into Thalassa, causing her to step back and collide with a sturdy, muscular chest behind her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Lysander wrapped his arms around her as his eyes met her startled gaze.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Thalassa began, but before she could step back, Lysander tightened his grip on her, holding her against his chest.
He was watching her with intense and relentless eyes. A strange feeling stirred in his heart right at the moment she bumped into his chest, exactly at the spot where his heart was. It felt as though she had crashed straight into his heart, sending ripples of unfamiliar emotions through him.
