Chapter 8

Thalassa was making a beeline for the two kids, but the little rascals beat her to the elevator. The doors were just about to close.

“Hold up!” Thalassa called out hastily

She bolted into the elevator, frantically hitting the close door button, not even having time to press the floor number. She saw the man coming and was worried he might cause a scene with her

Dorian felt guilty under his mom’s stern gaze. He hung his head, not knowing how to explain. He knew better than to lie to his mom.
