After comforting the other three kids, Thalassa held their hands and led them to the table, saying softly, "Don't worry, I won't scold you this time. You just wanted to find your dad and that's why you went to the Sinclair group. But you can't do this again, okay?

You're still little and can't defend for yourselves if something happened to you, or if you were hurt by bad people, your grandma and I would be heartbroken."

After soothing the kids, Thalassa started to talk some sense into them

Her four children were pretty sensible for their age, but they were only four and still didn't quite understand the way of the world.

They needed guidance from adults

Elowen, who had been crying, had tears hanging on her long eyelashes, like dewdrops on leaves in the morning light, which was heart-wrenching.

She wiped her eyes with her small hand and said in her childish voice. "Mom, I'll be a good girl. I won't run off again."

Thalassa leaned in and pressed her face against Elowens soft one, smiling warmly. "Elowen, you're the best. Mom loves you"

"I want you to say you love me too mom Dorian said, waving his hand eagerly.

Thalassa laughed and said Mom loves you too

The door opened and a small figure Atticus, came out and took a seat by the table on his own

He was back to his normal self, but Thalassa could still see the redness in his eyes from crying

Thalassa asked him with concern, Atticus are you upset? if you have anything bothering you, you can tell me. I'm the person who loves you most"

It was important to guide the kids' emotions in time so that they could maintain a positive and optimistic attitude,

Atticus shook his head, saying in his childish voice. Mom, I'm fine. I just feel that I'm too young to help you."
