Chapter 9

“Ouch, Mom, can you let go?” Thalassa winced, leaning towards the hand that Evelyn had clamped on her ear.

Evelyn had been scared out of her wits, thinking that the kids had gotten lost. Still shaken, she channeled her fear into anger, pouring it all on Thalassa.

“You know it hurts! Do you know how worned I was? Evelyn barked at Thalassa, her face red and voice hoarse.

“Granny, don’t blame Mom. It’s our fault. We ran off. Mom only bumped into us halfway”

Dorian and Atticus stood by Evelyn’s legs Their little heads were raised in defense of their mom.

Evelyn snorted, let go of Thalassa’s car, and looked down at Atticus and Dorian, still sternly saying, “You two, no more running off! If I catch you running off again, there will be consequences!”

Dorian hung his head, his voice was weak and helpless. I know. I’m sorry, Granny

His remorseful look tugged at Evelyn’s heartstrings, so she forgave him. Then she coldly asked Atticus, “And you?”

Atticus‘ little face was expressionless, and he still answered Evelyn, “I understand.”

“Hmm, I’ll let you off this time” Evelyn picked up a tissue and wiped away her tears.

Thalassa said, Tll go cook, Mom, you rest a bit” She quickly headed to the kitchen.
