Chapter 65 Blossom was practically drooling, her eyes wide as saucers. “Lord have mercy, I think I’m gonna cry.” Elysia chuckled, nudging her. “What’s gotten into you?!” Blossom put on a choked voice, “I just never thought… that these little rascals could scrub up so well. Sniff, sniff. No, no, this won’t do. I need a selfie, I need to blow up Twitter, I’m gonna be the brightest star of the night!” Saying so, she cozied up to the three little tykes and went snap–happy, taking dozens of photos in rapid succession. She posted four updates back to back, each laid out in a perfect grid. The first was a about Elliot, with the caption, [My eldest.] The second was all about Evan, [My middle child.] The third was all about Emmett, [My youngest.] The fourth was a family shot of all five of them, [Family of five.] Considering the risk of the kids‘ dad finding out, Blossom carefully pixelated the faces of the three little ones and Elysia. All you could make out were their vague outlines. Out of the dozens of photos, only in the group shot did she leave the eyes untouched. Blossom just couldn’t bring herself to hide them. Their eyes were like deep oceans sprinkled with stardust – too beautiful to conceal. Soon enough, Blossom’s Twitter was on fire. As expected, she became the night’s sensation. When inquiring DMs flooded in, Blossom replied with swagger: [They’re all my boys!] When asked where she got them, she cheekily answered: [Found ‘em.] [And where did you find them?j [Not telling.] [At least give me one.] [No way!] [Then I might just have to kidnap one. Quick, tell me, what color sack do they like?] Blossom couldn’t stop laughing. Elysia worried she might actually pass out from it. 1/2 As for her boastful display, Elysia was torn between exasperation and amusement. At seven sharp, they arrived at Jinpeach Restaurant. It was the oldest, most characteristic, and priciest eatery in Jindale City. Many celebrities. and foreign dignitaries would dine there during their visits. Blossom showed their reservation and followed the hostess to the front desk to check in: then, they were led to their private dining room. From the moment they appeared, all eyes were on them. Even behind masks, their allure was undeniable. Blossom had an air of erudition about her, a product of her upbringing in the Blythe family, and her cherubic figure added a comforting charm. Elysia was naturally radiant, and years of living in the wild had left her skin fair and glowing; her entire being seemed to emanate a spiritual energy. It’s said that the land nurtures its people, and a girl raised by mountains and springs had a purity and freshness about her as a nymph descended to earth. The word ‘beautiful‘ was an understatement. The three little ones were outright irresistible, the kind you’d want to whisk away at first glance. The young, attractive server couldn’t help but gush, “The three little angels are so adorable; they look just like child stars.” Blossom smiled, “We’re not child stars, but we’re still the most dazzling kids you’ll meet.” The server nodded with a smile, “Indeed, you’ve stolen the spotlight the moment you arrived.” After escorting them to the elevator and up to the top floor, a concierge led them to their private room. Once the door closed, the little ones finally took off their masks. Elysia had always told them to keep their masks on outside, citing the northern winter smog and poor air quality. But truthfully, she just didn’t want their father to spot them. Despite all precautions, it had never crossed their minds that the server might know. Tarquin. So when the server saw the kids‘ faces, her smile froze instantly. “They… they…” “Yes? What is it?” Elysia inquired curiously. The server, in shock, swallowed hard, at a loss for words. 50-10 The enrver couldn’t muster a word.
