The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 488
“Things are bound to get better no matter what.” Evelyn nodded, not wanting to dwell on it any longer.
In a blink, it was the weekend.
Thalassa’s facial wound was nearly healed, leaving behind a thick, black scab on her face.
Hertha suggested a trip to the mall so Thalassa could spruce up her wardrobe.
Thalassa wanted to bring the kids along for an outing at first; however, the children were all reluctant to leave the comfort of their
home.
So, Thalassa didn’t insist.
Just as Thalassa and Hertha stepped out, the four little ones huddled in their room. Atticus fished out a tablet, his small fingers
tapping on the screen like butterflies.
“Found it. The Sinclair group’s firewall.” Atticus announced with a grin.
Dorian leaned over to look at the screen, “Brother, can you breach it?”
“The Sinclair group’s firewall is tougher than most. It’s secure and reliable, so breaking it will be a challenge,” Atticus furrowed his
little brows and seemed a bit troubled.
Dorian reassured him, “No worries, your hacking skills are ace. You can do it. Just go for it!”
His little fists clenched and made a cheering gesture.
Elowen and Sophia also clenched their chubby fists and nodded at him encouragingly, “Go for it!”
Atticus, who was stumped at first, felt a surge of confidence with his siblings’ encouragement. “Alright!”
His chubby fingers flew up and down over the screen.
The other three kids sat with him, one by his side and the other two guarding the door to prevent their granny from barging in.

Just as Atticus was getting somewhere, he heard footsteps and Evelyn’s loud voice came from outside, “Atticus, Dorian, Elowen,
Sophia, what are you up to?” Elowen and Sophia, who were sitting by the door, quickly turned around and gestured to them in
hushed tones, “Brother, granny’s coming!”
In a fluster, Atticus quickly turned off the tablet and tucked it away.
Just as he stashed the device in the drawer, Evelyn pushed the door open, “What are you four up to? Your mom wanted you to
go out and play but you didn’t want to. How did you learn to coop yourself up at such a young age?”
The children all stared nervously at Evelyn, remaining silent.
Seeing their innocent, wide eyes, Evelyn couldn’t bring herself to scold them. These adorable pumpkins just melted her heart.
She sighed and said, “Come on, granny will take you to the park downstairs.”
“Granny, we don’t want to go out,” Sophia said.
“What are you playing with at home?” Evelyn asked.
“Playing on the tablet!” Elowen raised her hand eagerly to answer, a bright smile lighting up her face.
Atticus and Dorian wanted to stop her from blurting it out, but it was too late.
The two brothers exchanged frustrated glances. Their little sister was so “adorable” that it was driving them crazy.
Evelyn’s face fell instantly. “Kids shouldn’t be glued to tablets all day. You need to feel nature and get fresh air. Playing on tablets
can damage your eyes. Come on, follow me.”
Evelyn walked in, took their hands, and led them out of the room.
At the mall.
Thalassa and Hertha had been browsing for a while but couldn’t find any suitable clothes.
Hertha leaned in to examine the scar on Thalassa’s cheek, “Evelyn said you got this from a tree branch? Doesn’t look like it to
me. Can a branet really cause such a deep wound?”
The thickness of the scab alone showed how deep the wound had been.

“It’s almost healed,” Thalassa responded.
Just as they were about to leave the mall, Thalassa noticed a shop near the entrance was closing for the day.
