Lysander's aura was frigid, forbidding anyone to approach him.
Evelyn, overwhelmed with fear, wanted to reach out and grab his hand, but she hesitated. Her hand hovered awkwardly in mid-air.
"Lysander, let go of me!" Thalassa desperately tried to pry Lysander's hand from her shoulder, but his grip was too strong.
At that moment, Atticus, with a sense of urgency, flung the car door open and jumped out. He was in such a rush that he fell to the ground, but he instantly clambered back up, his short legs carrying him as fast as they could towards Lysander.
Grabbing at Lysander's clothing, he tried to push him away, "Leave my mom alone! Don't bully her! I'm the one who sabotaged your company! Mom had no idea! Let her go!"
Atticus' face was flushed from the effort, and tears pooled in his eyes. But he refused to let them fall.
He was small and weak, and his efforts to push Lysander away were futile.
However, his words caught Lysander's attention.
He released Thalassa and looked down at Atticus in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Atticus looked up at him, his face red from frustration and worry for his mom. His eyes were brimming with tears, but he didn’t let them fall.
Breathing heavily, his little chest heaving, he spoke to Lysander, "I was the one trying to sabotage the Sinclair Group. Mom didn't know. You said that only the strong can negotiate! I want Mom to become strong! So, she won't be bullied by you."
Lysander was taken aback, looking down at the little boy who barely reached his knees.
Just the previous day, to make the children behave, he had told them that only the strong had the right to negotiate.
The little guy had taken it to heart.
He had underestimated the understanding of a child.
