Chapter 1078

Upon seeing Evelyn’s smile, Thalassa felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Back in the day, when it was just her and her mom raising four kids, Thalassa spent most of her time

working to make ends meet, while Evelyn stayed home to care for the little

ones.

The four kids were Evelyn’s pride and joy, raised by her own hand, and the source of all her bragging

rights.

Thalassa’s words of praise hit Evelyn right in the feels, and she couldn’t help but beam with happiness.

The somber mood that had been pressing down on them lifted with a few words from Thalassa, and

Evelyn squeezed her hand again. Noticing Thalassa’s chapped lips, she said with concern, “Let me get

you some water.”

She got up to grab the water pitcher, only to find it empty.

“I’ll go fetch some water,” Evelyn said, taking the pitcher with her as she left the room.

No sooner had Evelyn left than Hertha plopped down beside Thalassa’s bed, her face lit up with the

kind of curiosity that only the juiciest gossip could inspire.

“So, I heard from Evelyn that you took off last night with a guy named Callum, and you even made sure

to take your four munchkins with you. What gives? Is there a little something-something going on

between you and Callum?”

Hertha’s face was alight with mirth, her eyes dancing with eager anticipation as she waited for the

scoop.

Hertha lived for gossip, whether it was someone else’s dirty laundry or the scandalous tales of her

closest friends. When it came to Thalassa’s life, her interest was more piqued

than ever.

Thalassa had once been sweet on Leopold, but he’d been gone for some time now. Surely, she

couldn’t be expected to pine forever for a man who’d left this world, could she?

Caught off guard by Hertha’s eager gaze, Thalassa felt her heart skip a beat.

Had she really not thought it through, leaving with Callum and the kids? Even her best friend thought

she had feelings for Callum, taking off with Lysander’s children in tow.

No wonder Lysander had jumped to conclusions.

Thalassa had been so desperate to get away from Lysander and so rattled by Bruce’s threats that all

she could think about was escaping the turmoil. She hadn’t paused to consider the implications of

running off with Callum.

“Come on, Thalassa, don’t leave me hanging,” Hertha nudged, giving her a gentle shake.

Chapter 1078

Snapped back to reality by Hertha’s prodding, Thalassa looked into her friend’s gossip-thirsty eyes and

responded with a sigh, “You know me. How could I possibly bring chaos into someone else’s life, being

a single mom?”

“Self-control is one thing, but a fluttering heart is another,” Hertha said. “You never seemed to want to

stay by Lysander’s side, no matter what. Could it be because you never really

had the hots for him?”

Hertha’s question sent Thalassa’s heart into overdrive, the kind that left her feeling flustered and out of

control.

The thought of her relationship with Lysander stirred anxiety within her, causing her heart to race out of

control.

She had never felt the inclination to stand by Lysander, and was it because she hadn’t truly harbored

feelings for him?

No, that wasn’t it.

She was wary of Lysander, afraid of his ruthless methods and cold-heartedness.

Who would want to stay by the side of a heartless devil?

“Hertha, what on earth are you thinking? How could there be anything romantic between

Callum and me? We’ve barely known each other,” Thalassa said, coming to her senses. She playfully

flicked Hertha’s forehead, feigning annoyance.

“Then why did you leave with Callum? And why did he agree to take you? If there’s no love between

you two, it makes no sense that you’d run off together,” Hertha pressed. She had been so wrapped up

in work recently that she hadn’t spent much time with Thalassa.
