Chapter 383
Hertha relayed the address.
After hanging up the phone, Thalassa drove towards the outskirts of the town to a bustling night fair.
The fair was alive with excitement. Neon lights sparkled against the night sky, illuminating numerous
small stalls where vendors sold their wares. People sat along the roadside, eating and laughing
heartily. The atmosphere was filled with a joyful ruckus. There was a lively sense of community.
Despite the humble conditions of the food trucks, everyone was merry and reveled in each other’s
company.
Thalassa spotted Hertha, Evelyn, and her four children near one of the barbecue trucks. They were
seated around a round table, joyfully munching on skewers. Each child had a bottle of yogurt in front of
them, and they relished in the taste of non-spicy grilled meat that they adored.
It was a heartwarming sight.
Thalassa approached them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAtticus was the first to spot Thalassa. His eyes sparkled like stars, “Mommy!
The word “Mommy” was like a magic spell that instantly turned the other children’s heads. They turned
around like little penguins, their faces lit up in visible
excitement.
“Mommy!”
The chorus of their voices, filled with joy and excitement, echoed through the air. One by one, they
jumped off their stools and with their little legs flailing. They ran
towards Thalassa.
Seeing her children rush towards her, Thalassa felt a lump in her throat. She knelt down and opened
her arms to welcome the bunch.
The young ones collided into her, their small arms wrapping around her, their little heads and cheeks
rubbing against her, expressing their longing and dependence.
They had not seen their mother for four days, and they missed her terribly. The fear that she had
abandoned them was evident in their actions.
Elowen and Sophia, after rubbing against Thalassa and smelling her familiar scent, could not hold back
their tears.
“I missed you so much, Mommy.” Elowen’s voice wavered, her lips quivered, and her eyes welled up
with tears.
“I missed you too, Mommy.” Sophia, who usually wasn’t one to cry, couldn’t control her tears either.
Thalassa was overwhelmed with emotion. She gently caressed Elowen and Sophia’s cheeks, wiping
away their tears. “I miss you too. I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you because of work.”
Atticus and Dorian were still in her embrace, their little heads rubbing against her, expressing their own
feelings of longing.
Atticus, usually reserved, was now openly expressing his emotions. He was happy to see his mother,
yet also saddened by her absence. All he wanted to do was to
be close to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter comforting the children and composing herself, she led them back to their seats.
Hertha signaled a waiter, “Can we get an extra set of cutlery, please?”
The waiter went to fetch the cutlery.
Hertha cast a worried and puzzled look at Thalassa, “Thalassa, you look like you’ve lost some weight
and your complexion isn’t great. What happened?”
Evelyn glared at Thalassa, worry and frustration evident in her gaze.
Despite her concern, her words were tinged with anger, “You turned off your phone and disappeared.
How could you worry us like that? Why bother coming back
now?”
Thalassa apologized, “I didn’t mean to worry you. My phone ran out of battery and I didn’t have my
charger.”
Evelyn, sitting next to Thalassa, could clearly see her pale complexion and drained demeanor. She
couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, “Where did you go? Did you encounter something you couldn’t
handle? Tell us, we can help you. We can report it to the police if need be. There’s nothing to be afraid
of!”
