Chapter 83

“Alright Elowen lowered her lashes. Her enthusiasm from just a moment ago had faded as her long lashes hid the disappointment in her eyes.

Thalassa was taken aback, “Mom, I’m about to head to work. Why are you setting me up on a blind date?”

“The place is a restaurant near the Sinclair Group. You can go there now, have a meal, and then head to work. Get moving.”

Evelyn grabbed her purse for her and nudged her out the door.

Thalassa had no choice but to leave.

Atticus and Dorian returned to their room and closed the door, Atticus, acting all grown-up, said to Dorian, ‘Grandma’s trying to find a stepdad for us.”

Dorian pouted, “I dont want a stepdad.”

“But if Mom likes him, we have to respect her decision. Atticus was a total mama’s boy 4.

“But what if Mom doesn’t like him? Dorian was worried about his mom getting hurt.

“We’ll go and sneak a peek, so we can see if Mom likes him or not.” Atticus’s eyes, full of young wisdom, glittered in the dark.

“Uh huh, alright.’ Dorian nodded vigorously After lunch, Atticus and Dorian wanted Astrid to take them outside to play Evelyn objected and told them to play at home.

Dorians large, beautiful eyes filled with tears as he looked pitifully at Evelyn, ‘Grandma, I want to go to the park. I havent been outside for so long that I’m actually getting moldy”

Evelyn couldn’t resist Dorians tears. Seeing a child cry always melted her heart.

Eventually, she agreed, and Astrid took the two boys out to play while she stayed at home with the two girls.

At a restaurant next to the Sinclair Group.

Thalassa arrived at the designated spot to find a man waiting The man was plump, wide, and heavyset. He was wearing dark glasses, and his hair was thinning drastically Judging by his looks, he was probably in his thirties.

Thalassa greeted him with a polite smile “Excuse me, are you Mr. Cooper?”

“I am indeed, and you must be Thalassa The man’s eyes lit up behind his thick glasses, and he gave a deep smile, “You’re even more beautiful than in your photos”

Thanks.” Thalassa sat down opposite him.

She wasn’t keen on the blind date, but her mom had gone ahead and arranged it. She had to play along to avoid giving people something to gossip about 1 heard you have four kids, but I don’t mind. I’m quite satisfied with you. If it s alright with you, I can take half a day off work this afternoon, and we get the marriage paperwork done,’ said Mr. Cooper as he adjusted his glasses.

can Thalassa nearly choked on her water. The shock of his statement caught her off guard.

Before she could recover, Mr. Cooper continued, “However, after we’re married, I wont be responsible for your four kids. You’ll have to give me two more kids. I’ll take full responsibility for our children. Your four kids can be raised by your mother.”

Thalassa managed to get the water down, looked at him, gave a cold laugh, and said, “I’m afraid, Mr.

Cooper, you’ve got it all wrong. You might be satisfied with me, but I’m not satisfied with you. Don’t trouble yourself; after all, I do have four kids.”

What a freak show! And it seemed like there was a new act every year. Her mom always introduced her to the weirdest people.

She was about to get up and leave when the man grabbed her hand with a strong grip, “Thalassa, I was told you were satisfied with me. Don’t play hard to get; we’re a match made in heaven.”
