chapter654

Lysander stepped out of the car, leaving Thalassa inside, sitting motionless.

Halting his steps, Lysander cast a glance at her as his deep eyes questioned why she was still in the

car. “Aren’t you coming?”

“It’s almost nightfall. I want to go home.” Thalassa voiced out. The intimidation and pressure she’d felt

from Lysander during the car ride had been enough to make her heart tremble with unease.

If she were to accompany him into Royal Estates tonight, she knew sleep wouldn’t be an option.

Memories of her time in Royal Estates sent shivers down her spine as they played in her mind like a

movie.

She had only just recovered from being sore. Her body still hadn’t regained its strength.

“Don’t you want to see the kids?” Lysander asked in a low voice, his gaze fixed on her.

Thalassa was torn. Of course, she wanted to see her children; she thought of them every waking

moment. But setting foot in Royal Estates meant she had no say in what happened next.

Frowning, she realized she had no choice but to exit the car. Even if she didn’t go to Royal Estates, she

still wouldn’t have a say. Why hesitate when she could see her children?

As Thalassa stepped into Royal Estates, she found her children seated on the living room couch. Their

little adorable faces were completely washed over in sadness.

The housekeepers were trying their best to cheer them up, but to no avail.

“Ms. Everhart, you’re here.” Fitch greeted her with a note of relief in his voice.

At the sound of their mom’s name, four pairs of innocent eyes lit up, and their gloomy expressions

morphed into radiant smiles.

“Mommy!” They chorused.

The little ones slid off the couch and ran towards her. Their faces were now glowing like sunflowers in

full bloom.

Thalassa felt her heart mend after seeing this. She crouched down and opened her arms wide to

embrace her little ones.

As her children rushed into her arms, Thalassa found herself falling backwards, unable to bear their

weight. She expected to topple over, but a strong arm caught her from behind, steadying her.

After turning around, she saw Lysander’s towering figure. Without thanking him, she hugged her

children closer, planting a loving kiss on each of their tender, chubby cheeks.

“Sweethearts, Mommy missed you so much.” Thalassa’s voice was soft and teary.

“Mommy, we missed you too.” Atticus said while standing by Thalassa’s side.

“Mommy, we wanted to see you, but Daddy wouldn’t let us. He doesn’t understand how much we

missed you.” Dorian whined as his little eyes glistened with tears.

“Daddy said Mommy was the bad one, but he’s the bad one. He wouldn’t let us see Mommy.” Elowen

pouted.

Sophia, the shy one, glanced at Lysander, who was standing like a protective wall behind Thalassa,

and lowered her head, saying nothing.

Thalassa’s smile faltered for a moment, and she began feeling a chill run down her spine.

The only ones who would dare accuse Lysander of being the ‘bad guy’ were her four little children
