Chapter 319


    Elowen was hopping around with the pass in her hand, buzzing with excitement.


    Seeing the child so thrilled, Evelyn didn’t have the heart to say anything else and she took a deep


    breath.


    “Alright, we’re off now,” Thssa told the staff.


    The trip to the mall, far from being a rxing experience for Thssa, had her on edge, her emotions


    roller-coasting between fear and anxiety.


    She was pretty freaked out.


    By the time they got home, the kids were wiped out.


    Evelyn headed into the kitchen to whip up some grub.


    Thssa got the kids in a line, helping them wash their hands and faces.


    Their faces were smeared with lollipop residue, looking like little sugar-coated kittens.


    Thssa cleaned them up.


    Soon, Evelyn had the meal ready. It was a simple fare. The kids had already snacked at the mall so


    they weren’t too peckish. After munching a bit, Thssa herded


    them off to bed.


    The two mothers sat at the dining table, munching on pizza and chatting.


    Evelyn had a ton of questions for Thssa.


    And Thssa had her own list of queries for Evelyn.


    Evelyn was impulsive to be the first to pop the question, “Didn’t that Lysander guy ditch you because


    he looked down on your status? Why are you still hanging out


    with him?”


    Thssa was a bit thrown off by the question. She had been trying to shake off Lysander..


    She didn’t want Evelyn to know that Lysander had forced her into being with him.


    That way she could spare Evelyn the worry and stop her from picking a fight with Lysander and making


    a fool of herself.


    Thssa replied, “Didn’t the staff exin earlier? Lysander was there to check on thepetition. I


    just bumped into him.””


    “Really? Then why did he step in to teach Bruce a lesson?” Evelyn’s sharp eyes bore into Thssa.


    She might be getting on in years, but she sure wasn’t senile.


    If Thssa really had nothing to do with Lysander, why did he storm in, all fired up, to punish Bruce


    when he heard Thssa call her mom?


    Thssa averted her eyes slightly, “Maybe it was his sense of justice. Even strangers would speak up


    against injustice.”

    “Hmph, you better not be hiding something from me, or you’ll be the one to pay for it!” Evelyn grumbled


    angrily, taking a big bite of her pizza.


    She was livid. Her life was messy enough as it was, and now her daughter was getting hurt and


    disrespected by men too.


    She was filled with a sense of injustice and pain that was almost overpowering.


    Thssa moved a little closer, her clear eyes full of seriousness and curiosity, “Mom, what’s the deal


    between you and Bruce? Why did he im to be my dad?”


    This was a question she had wanted to ask for a long time, but she never found the right opportunity.


    The mention of Bruce got Evelyn all hot under the cor. She mmed the tableware on the table,


    saying, “He sweet-talked me when we were young. I was all set to marry him. I never thought he was


    ying the field!”


    Thssa’s heart rate went up. She asked tentatively, “So, am I really his daughter?”


    Evelyn nced at her, “When I found out he was two-timing, I broke up with him. But then I found out I


    was pregnant. He said all the right things and promised to marry me right away. I thought he would turn


    over a new leaf. But he never cut ties with those other women. One of them was a wealthy socialite. He


    was fooling her for her money, and he even egged her on to elope with him.”


    Hearing all this, Thssa was livid. She said angrily, “You’re right, mom. He’s a grade-A jerk!”
