Chapter 66


    David had just arrived at the graveyard when he saw Thssa and Lysander turning back the way they


    came. He could do nothing but follow them back, feeling totally bummed out and thinking that this was


    no way for a person to live.


    After the small country path, they hit the vige road, which,paratively, was easier to tread.


    As Thssa reached the vige entrance, she saw a big crowd gawking at the Rolls Royce. On


    spotting them, the vigers eyed Lysander with anticipation as their gazes filled with curiosity,


    admiration, and a hint of fear.


    As Thssa and Lysander approached, the vigers were awestruck by Lysander’s intimidating aura,


    each taking a step back to maintain a respectful distance while still watching from a yard away.


    “Lysander, slow down, wait for me Isabe jogged over and began walking parallel to Lysander while


    looking up and grinning at him, her face full of


    adoration.


    She looked at him with the adoration and tenderness of a smitten woman.


    Lysander didn’t even spare her a nce.


    Isabe’s adoring gaze at Lysander left the vigers gobsmacked.


    Turned out that this loaded dude hade for Isabe.


    Had Isabe snagged a rich boyfriend?


    That would exin why Isabe had suddenly be so wealthy, driving luxury cars and building


    mansions. The guy must be rolling in dough, or how else could he afford Isabe’svish lifestyle?


    This rich, charming man must be Isabes boyfriend


    The curious vigers felt they had their answer and began to chatter among themselves. They were all


    green with envy at Isabe.


    The whispers inevitably reached Thssa’s ears. She heard the vigers say. “So this is Isabe’s


    boyfriend. He’s so handsome and rich. Isabe is so lucky.”


    For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness


    If Lysander was Isabe’s boyfriend, why did he pull her onto hispst night?


    Was he toying with her?


    After the wave of sadness, Thssa felt a surge of anger.


    Thssa quickly walked back home and stood in the living room, not offering to cook.


    Lysander walked into her home as his gaze swept over theyout of the whole house.


    It was a single-story brick-and-tile house. The whitewashed walls were crumbling, and the paint was


    peeling off in chunks. The roof tiles were old too; they were sure to leak if it rained


    Despite its shabby exterior, the inside was spotlessly clean and tidy.


    However, the whole house was cold and damp. Long-term residence here would surely lead to


    rheumatism.


    The conditions were truly appalling


    Lysander’s brow furrowed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, “Is there anyone else in your family?”


    “My family…”

    “Thssa works outside all year round, leaving only her aunt, Astrid, at home, who is Celia’s mother.’


    Isabe answered for her before she could speak She feared Thssa would mention her four


    children.


    If Lysander knew about Thssa’s kids, he would undoubtedly probe further, making it impossible for


    her to hide the truth.


    Lysander gave Isabe a cold look, “I didn’t ask you!”


    Isabe was taken aback by his icy gaze. She shrank back and no longer had the courage to say


    anything more.


    Thssa responded, “She’s right, my aunt lives here alone.”


    “Where is she?” Lysander’s gaze shifted inside the house.


    Since she was Celia’s mother, he, of course, needed to meet her personally and arrange a better ce


    for her to live.


    “She’s out, probably ying cards. Isabe added nervously


    She deliberately mentioned Astrid being at the card table, hoping Lysander would realize that Astrid


    also liked to y cards and gamble.


    “Who said she was at the card table?” Thssa retorted, unwilling to let Isabe belittle her aunt.
