Seeing her parents smile, Elower’s face lit up with satisfaction as she pressed the record
button on the camera.
“Daddy looks so cool, and Mommy’s so pretty!” Elowen beamed after taking the picture.
Behind Elowen, her three little siblings chimed in with their own praises.
Dorian declared, “Mommy’s the most beautiful mommy in the whole world.”
“Absolutely,” Atticus agreed, nodding along with Dorian’s statement.
Sophia added timidly, “And Daddy’s the most handsome daddy ever.”
“Yeah, the most handsome!” Elowen exclaimed, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.
Fitch busied himself at the dining table, clearing away after the meal, but his glance kept darting over to
the cozy scene unfolding on the couch.
He couldn’t help but smile at the sight of Lysander and Thalassa, along with their children, enjoying

a match made in heaven.
Basking in the children’s compliments, Thalassa felt a surge of joy but also a prick of danger as she
realized her current predicament. Quickly, she stood up from Lysander’s embrace and hurried over to
the kids, taking the phone from them, “Let me see.”
The phone screen displayed a photo of her and Lysander. He was holding her as they sat on the
couch, his handsome face partially obscured by her shoulder, his lips curled in a sexy smile, his deep
eyes gazing into the camera as if they were looking right at her.
The blend of his stunning good looks and brooding intensity, even in a photo, sent a wave of panic
through Thalassa as she locked eyes with his ocean-deep gaze on the scree
There she was, nestled on Lysander’s lap, her cheeks flushed with a rosy tint, lookin ridiculously happy.
Two people who shouldn’t possibly expect a future together were now immortalized i
embrace.
At the sight of this photo, Thalassa’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by something sharp. What
should have been a moment of bliss was suddenly tinged with pain.
With a swift motion, Thalassa put her phone in her pocket and told the kids, “Alright, it’s getting late. It’s
time for you to take your baths and then off to bed.
“Mommy, I wanna sleep with you and Daddy tonight,” Elowen pleaded with a pout.
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat as she glanced apprehensively at Lysander before replying to Elowen,
“The bed’s too small, sweetheart. There’s not enough room. How

about after your bath, I come and sleep in your room with you?”
Elowen’s big, sparkling eyes flickered reluctantly between her parents. She wanted to sleep with both
of them, but her mother had said there wasn’t enough room. Reluctantly, she had to let go of one wish.

Regaining her composure, she looked up at her mother and nodded obediently, “Okay, I’ll sleep with
Mommy.”
After the children were bathed and tucked into bed, Thalassa spent extra time soothing Elowen to
sleep before moving on to the other children’s rooms to ensure they too were settled for the night.
With all four little ones asleep, Thalassa prepared to return to Elowen’s room to join her for the night,
but she was intercepted by Lysander, “You seem to forget how big the master bed is.”
Confronted by his intense gaze, Thalassa instinctively took a step back, “I was just trying to soothe the
kids. You’re injured, and they tend to move around in their sleep. I didn’t want them to accidentally kick
your leg.”
Was she genuinely concerned for him?
The chill that usually surrounded Lysander thawed a fraction, his imposing aura softening as if a wild
beast had been stroked into submission, “They’re asleep now. It’s time for you to get some rest too.”
His large hand enveloped Thalassa’s, and without further discussion, he led her upstairs.
