Chapter 300
Thalassa and Evelyn headed out with four kids in tow, off to browse the nearby mall.
Usually, Evelyn didn’t let Thalassa take the kids to places where they might splurge a lot.
But today, the kids had been waiting for Thalassa to return home, feeling a bit spooked and hard done
by.
The kids were pretty savvy, not throwing tantrums even when they were scared, saving her from a
headache. So, Evelyn figured that they deserved a treat for handling the situation calmly and off to the
mall they went.
Inside the mall, Sophia instantly glued herself to a toy store and refused to budge.
Her eyes were fixed on a circular pendant that looked like it had been dug out of the dirt, with cracks
filled with soil stains that wouldn’t wash off, looking all grubby and worn.

Sophia, full of excitement, nodded, “Yeah.”
Thalassa pointed at the plush toy area and asked her with a smile, “Which plush toy do you like? Just
pick one and I’ll buy it.”
Sophia pointed her small hand towards that circular pendant in the corner, “I want this.”
Thalassa followed Sophia’s pointing finger, seeing an old circular pendant, she said, “This probably
isn’t for sale, right? Just some old junk?”
Feeling perplexed, thinking there was nothing fun about it, she suggested to Sophia, “How about you
pick something else, okay?”
Sophia shook her head, her eyes full of stubbornness and disappointment. She just wanted that
circular pendant.
Seeing Sophia’s expression, Thalassa felt a pang in her heart. She didn’t want to upset her daughter,
so she walked into the toy store and asked the shopkeeper, “Excuse me, how much for that circular
pendant?”
The shopkeeper looked puzzled as he told her, “Circular pendant? We don’t sell those here.”
Thalassa led the shopkeeper to the front of the store, picked up the circular pendant from the corner,
and showed it to him, “This one, my daughter really likes it, can we buy it?”
The shopkeeper looked at it, and laughed, “Oh, this? This was unearthed by my son at the beach
yesterday when he was playing in the sand. He played with it for a bit and then left it in the store. It was
probably a toy that some kid left in the sand, and my son dug it up.”
Thalassa was initially planning to persuade Sophia to look at other toys, but seeing Sophia’s eyes
almost obsessed with the circular pendant, she chose not to do that

Sophia, although the youngest of the kids, was usually very well-behaved and obedient, cooler than
Elowen who was clingy and cute.
She was never the type to throw tantrums or demand things.
It was a rare sight to see Sophia having her heart set on a toy, eyes glued to it, wanting it so badly..
Thalassa couldn’t bear to see her upset and asked the shopkeeper, “Sir, does your son still play with
this pendant?”
The shopkeeper laughed, “Oh, he’s got new toys, he’s already forgotten all about this one.”
Just then, Evelyn walked over with the other three kids, all of them clustering around Thalassa, calling
her mommy.
The shopkeeper looked at the kids, curious and delighted as he asked, “Wow, these four kids are so
cute, are they all yours?”.
Thalassa smiled and nodded.
“So, these four seem about the same age, are they quadruplets?”
“Yes, they are,” Thalassa answered with a smile on her face.
