Chapter 227

Thalassa wasn’t in the office, but on her desk sat a resignation letter.

David went back to the CEO’s office with the envelope in hand and handed it over to Lysander.

Lysander saw the words “Resignation Application” on the envelope.

He frowned slightly.

Opening the envelope, the reason for the resignation was written inside. “Sorry, but I’ve got a better gig and no longer wish to work at the Sinclair Group.”

The words were typed but the signature below was unmistakably Thalassa’s own handwriting!

That was her true handwriting!

Lysander’s face turned gloomy. She really had the guts to quit!

Could she afford the $20,000 penalty for breaking the contract?

Lysander dialed the HR department.

The HR manager said, “Thalassa insisted on quitting and immediately paid the $20,000 penalty. She mentioned her new job offers great benefits. They even gave her a $20,0 00 signing bonus to poach her.”

Zephyr had instructed that Lysander was not allowed to know that Thalassa was actually sacked.

If Lysander asked, the HR manager should concoct a story to make him believe that Thalassa quit willi ngly.

After careful consideration, the HR manager thought the excuse he just made up was pretty plausible.

After hearing the HR manager’s report, Lysander’s face turned icy cold, as if a storm was brewing.

Without uttering a word, he hung up.

At Thalassa’s home.

She and Hertha had returned home.

They heard from Evelyn that while she was out for a bit, Elowen wanted milk and went looking for her to get the milk.

Elowen ended up on the road and almost got hit by a car.

halassa’s eyes welled up with tears. She was filled with fear and dread.

he picked up Elowen’s soft little body, gently patting her tender face, her heart filled with regret and fear, “Elowen, sweetheart. If you want milk, you can tell the neighbor or earn to make it yourself. You can’t go out alone again, okay?”

ensing her mom’s concern, Elowen obediently nodded, “Okay, I’ll learn how to make milk. The granny in the neighborhood is too busy to listen to me.”

earing Elowen’s innocent words, Thalassa felt a heartache.

he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and put Elowen down. She squatted to her level and gently said, “How about learning how to make milk now?”

Okay.” Elowen nodded.

Mom, I want to learn too.” Sophia joined in with her little legs swinging.

le too.” Dorian raised his hand, “Once I learn, I can help my sister make milk.”

ticus said with his serious little face, “I want to learn too.” His reason was the same as Dorian’s.

eing her children so enthusiastic and positive, with the two older brothers so caring towards their sisters, Th alassa felt both relieved and heartbroken.

right, you all come here, I will teach you.”

alassa took the kids to the kitchen and took out the formula and bottles from the cupboard.

e mixed hot water with a cold one to make warm water, then scooped a few spoons of formula into the bottle.

she worked, she instructed. “If you need 120ml of water, scoop four spoons of formula, if it’s 150ml, scoop fi ve spoons. After scooping the formula, put the lid on and shake it this. Once it’s mixed, it’s ready to drink.”

kay, I got it. I want to make my own milk too.” Having watched her mom’s instruction, Sophia felt she had it down.

phia reached for the hot water kettle on the stove, but she was too short. As she reached out, the kettle tipped and hot water splashed out.

atch out!” Thalassa shouted.
