The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 228

As a mom, Thalassa had mastered the art of dealing with emergencies, making her reactions quicker than ever.

With the speed of lightning, Thalassa grabbed Sophia's hand and yanked her aside, saving her from a nasty burn from the boiling water.

Boiling water sloshed from the stove.

Worried about the rest of her children, she outstretched her arm and nudged them away from the danger zone.

Seeing her little ones safe and sound in front of her, Thalassa felt a wave of relief wash over her, her heart still pounding like a drum.

She looked at her children, who were still a bit dazed from the sudden commotion.

Thalassa took this as an opportunity to give them a quick lesson. "Hot water is the enemy when making formula. If you get scalded, it could harm your skin. So, if you guys want to make your own formula with boil water, when you need to reach the kettle, you better get a stool as a booster, then you'll be able to reach the kettle."

"Mama, got it. From now on, I'll help my sisters make their formula," piped up Atticus in his tiny voice.

He was the eldest and was always the most sensible and mature one. He always had his own ideas, plus he was quite handy.

When the kids were still figuring out how to dress themselves, Atticus was the first to master it, and then he helped his younger siblings with their clothes.

"Mama, me too! I'll go get the stool," Dorian announced. Swinging his short legs, he dashed out to fetch a stool.

Elowen just stared at Thalassa with her big eyes, not uttering a single word.

Sophia's cheeks flushed from the fright. She said timidly, "Mama, I understand, I won't reach for the kettle directly anymore."

Thalassa smiled, gently patting Sophia's head, "Sophia, you're the best. I'll make you another bottle of formula, one for you and one for Elowen."

"Mama, let me do it. I'll make the formula for my sisters." Dorian waltzed in with a toddler's chair almost as big as him.

He was struggling with the chair, but he stubbornly persisted.

Thalassa didn't stop him, instead she said, "I'll clean up the water on the counter first."

She quickly grabbed a cloth, wiped up the hot water Sophia had accidentally spilled, and stabilized the kettle.
