Chapter 1535Thalassa and Alaric were crammed together in the elevator, descending swiftly when it halted at the 10th floor. The doors slid open to reveal two
young kids, flanked by a pair of women
One of the women, in her twenties, was strikingly beautiful with a gentle smile gracing her lips.
The other, about fifty, was immediately recognizable to Thalassa as Bridget!
At her feet were the two little munchkins, Julian and Helena!
Seeing Bridget. along with Julian and Helena, made Thalassa’s heart skip a beat, her breath catching in her throat.
Oh boy, she had managed to keep Alaric from noticing the kids’ stuff, but now there was no avoiding him meeting them face-to-face!
Would the kids recognize her, calling her Aunt Thalassa?
Her heart was racing with nervousness. Ads by PubFuture
Just as she was wrestling with her anxiety, she caught Bridget’s warm smile directed at her, about to say something. Thalassa’s breath stalled, her
mind swirling with apologies.
Hertha, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean for Alaric to bump into the kids…
Before Bridget could speak, the younger woman beside her apologized with a laugh, “Sorry, we were actually headed to the 20th floor, meant to only
press the up button, but the kids, being their playful selves, hit the down button too.”
The woman had barely finished speaking when Julian and Helena craned their little heads, glancing over at Thalassa and Alaric.
Thalassa felt her heart leap into her throat.
Just as the kids were about to lock eyes with her, the elevator doors closed, cutting off their gaze.
Thalassa couldn’t see the kids anymore.
Once the doors were shut, the elevator resumed its descent.

It wasn’t just small talk; she was also probing, seeing if Alaric had any suspicions about the two children.
The 10th floor was where the Spencer family lived, and the 20th was Hertha’s.
It must have been the kids wanting to leave the Spencer’s, making a fuss to go back home, leading Bridget to take them to the elevator.
And who was that younger woman? Thalassa didn’t recognize her, adding to her curiosity.
“Kids will be kids, always up for a bit of mischief,” Alaric responded nonchalantly.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Thalassa glanced at him, noting his calm demeanor, his fox-like eyes slightly downturned, seemingly unbothered and certainly not suspicious.
Thalassa felt a bit more at ease.

“Though, I must say, those kids looked familiar,” Alaric mused, stroking his chin, his suspicion rekindling.
Thalassa’s heart, just settled, clenched tightly once again.
