Chapter 836
“Mom, what did you eat that made you allergic? Was it sneaky mango bites?” Elowen looked up at her with big, innocent eyes full of
concern.
Thalassa forced a dry smile, covering her embarrassment as she replied, “Yeah, it was mango.”
Fitch, being an experienced man, felt it inappropriate to linger in the room during such a conversation. So, he bowed his head and busied himself in the kitchen.
Lysander, standing beside Thalassa, cast a towering shadow over her with his imposing stature. His presence was so overwhelming that she found it hard to ignore.
“Elowen, take your mom to the playroom,” Lysander gently ruffled Elowen’s soft hair, his touch tender and loving.
Obeying her father’s command, Elowen grabbed Thalassa’s hand and led her towards the playroom.
The other three kids followed up. They were soothed by their mother’s presence so they didn’t fuss about wanting to find their grandmother to make toys for them as they had earlier.
Once in the playroom, Thalassa joined them on the foam mat. The kids, stretching their little bodies, took out their new toys from the cabinet to share with Thalassa.
“Mom, look at this new doll Daddy bought me. Isn’t she pretty?” Elowen asked; her sweet smile lit up her face as she held up the doll with golden hair.
Thalassa smiled and nodded, “She’s beautiful just like you.”
“Mom, look at my jewelry–fixing tools. They’re all new and I love them, but I’m hesitant to use them,” Sophia lugged a small toolbox over and plopped it onto the floor. She opened it with a huff, revealing a set of shiny new tools.
She looked up and gazed at Thalassa with her innocent and glistering eyes; they were showing off her joyous feelings.
Thalassa gently touched Sophia’s small head, “If Daddy bought them for you, you should use them. Under your hands, these tools will be of the greatest value. Don’t you think?”
Sophia nodded eagerly, “You’re right, Mom. I’ll take them to school tomorrow.”
“Dorian, look at these costumes I have. Some are ancient Roman togas, and others are for martial arts. I love them all, but it seems like ! have no occasion to wear them,” Dorian showed Thalassa the costumes from his wardrobe.
Thalasse understood her kids well. She knew they loved showing off their new toys to the people they loved the most. “You can wear them when you are playing in a show Everyone will be envious of your role–specific costumes.” She suggested.
Donian’s eyes sparkled like stars at Thalassa’s words.
Mom, this time Dad didn’t buy me much. Just these two coding books, Atticus held up two small books. They looked like kids‘ books, but the covers adorned with lines of code and images of keyboards made them pretty advanced.
“Once you’ve mastered the material in these books, you’ll be even more adept at computing, Atticus,” Thalassa gently caressed Atticus
At her ampluragement, Atticus face lit up with newfound confidence
