The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 299

Thalassa grabbed the kettle, and Atticus immediately felt relieved as he felt a load being lifted from his hand and his whole being.

His innocent eyes sparkled at the arrival of their mom, and he couldn’t hide his excitement as he said, "Mom, you're back."

"Mom, you're finally back," Dorian, while happy, voiced a hint of grievance in her expression.

Elowen pouted, tears shimmering in her big eyes. She held back her tears for a moment but eventually couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Sophia raised her small hand to wipe away her tears as she tried to comfort her, "Elowen, don't cry. Our mom is back, don't cry."

Only then did Thalassa realize. She had promised them she would be back soon when she called this morning.

The kids had been eagerly waiting for her return but she didn't return until much later, which probably scared them as they were concerned for her safety.

So, it was no wonder that they had such a big reaction when she finally showed up.

Elowen's uncontrollable crying broke Thalassa's heart.

After pouring the hot water and quickly mixing it with cold water to make formula, she squatted down to hand it to Elowen, softly comforting her, saying, "Elowen, don't cry. I'm sorry, Mom got held up. I promised to take you guys out, so drink some milk first, and then I'll take you all out for some good food, okay?"

She had wanted to spend time with her kids, but their dad beat her to it.

"Mhm," Elowen nodded, her chubby hand wiping away tears before grabbing the bottle to start drinking.

Kids were usually pretty easy to appease as they perceived everything in a simple way.

Thalassa, relieved, ruffled Elowen's hair, then turned to Sophia and assured her, "Sophia, wait a bit. Mom will get yours ready right away."

"Mhm," Sophia nodded obediently.
