Chapter 1029
Thalassa was aware that Evelyn had set out to job hunt that day, looking specifically for a cleaner’s position.
“Job hunting is a piece of cake, just a tiny bump in the road. But the way those rich folks live it up, it turns my stomach.” Evelyn confessed, still visibly shaken by the experience.
Thalassa glanced down to see four little ones staring up with wide, innocent eyes full of wonder and confusion.
“Granny, what did you see? Can you tell us a story?” Dorian, the story-lover, was always eager for a complex tale. The more tangled the better, so he could act it out later.

And to my horror, she then went straight across to Room 2806, which also housed a man. I overheard her boasting she was attending to Mr. Joshua that evening in every possible way!”
“The same woman, sleeping with Lysander and then with that old man Mr. Joshua! Do these wealthy people have no shame? How chaotic their lives are! Thalassa, my heart aches for you. How can Lysander keep you on one hand and play the field on the other?”

being at a disadvantage by Lysander’s side. She tried everything to get Lysander to marry
her.
But despite her best efforts, nothing convinced Lysander to make Thalassa his wife.
She was frustrated but felt helpless. Now, witnessing the extent of Lysander’s infidelity, her heart bled for Thalassa.
But what could they do? They were just commoners, utterly powerless against a man like Lysander who had the world at his fingertips.
