Chapter 7
Meanwhile, Evan had made amends with Elysia.
Elysia was clueless about the chaos at the airport, nor did she know about the hot water her little Evan had landed himself in. As she watched him dash back breathlessly, her face etched with concern.
"Evan, where on earth have you been? Mommy's been searching high and low for you."
Evan, reading his mom's attitude, knew the big goof was still in the dark about the whole ordeal.
His eyes crinkled with mischief, and he grinned cheekily, "No worries, Mom. It's my first time. here, and I got curious, so I went out for a peek. It's so buzzing here!"
"Of course, it is! This is one of the biggest cities in the country! But with crowds come dangers, my boy. You can't go running off like that again. What if some creepy kidnapper snatched you up? What would your brothers and I do then?"
Puffing his chest, Evan reassured her, "Chill, Mom. If a kidnapper ever bumped into me, they'd be the ones in trouble! Haven't you seen who my mom is? How smart am? No way I'd get taken!"
"Oh, you and your tall tales," Elysia scolded, but her face was devoid of any sternness. It was filled instead with sheer adoration.
Evan cajoled, "Alright, Mom, no more frétting. Look, I'm back safe and sound, right? Let's go grab some dinner. I'm starving, and I bet Elliot and Emmett are too."
Evan was concerned that the nasty woman from before might show up and upset his mom.
Elysia chuckled, "Okay, honey. I'll take you boys out for a treat right now."
"Yay!" The three little ones nodded in unison.
Elliot, seizing the opportunity, took the rolling suitcase from Elysia's hand, "Let me, Mom."
Evan quickly snatched her backpack, "A lady should just look pretty. Let us men handle the heavy lifting."
Emmett also reached out his little hand, "Mommy, I will hold your hand as you walk."
Elysia, treated like a cherished princess, wore a smile radiant with happiness as she took. Emmett's tiny hand and led them out of the train station.
