Chapter 704
“It’s all water under the bridge now. Besides, isn’t Thssa sitting right here in front of us? Give her a
break; she’s been through enough.” Hertha, the peacemaker, tried to cate Evelyn.
Evelyn shot a nce at Thssa. “I can’t control you anymore.”
With that, she stood up to fetch a te and cutlery for Thssa from the kitchen.
“Mom, Bruce hasn’t tried to contact you again, has he?” Thssa was worried that Bruce might seek
revenge on Evelyn.
“Does he even have the guts after deceiving me so many times?” Evelyn retorted, her heart now heavy
and solid as a rock.
Being fooled by the same man twice was a testament to her own foolishness.
She’d wasted her life on such a devious man, and now she realized it hadn’t been worth it at all.
Despite knowing this, her heart still ached. How could one just let go of someone they’d loved? Even
though she knew how despicable he just wouldn’t listen.

her heart
Noticing Evelyn’s mncholy, Thssa tried tofort her. “That’s all in the past now. Online dating is
pretty popr these days. Why don’t I set up a profile for you? You’re still young and vibrant, so you
can still find someone to share your life with.”
Evelyn sighed heavily. “Why waste money on that? I don’t have time for such nonsense.”
“You were busy looking after my children a few years ago and didn’t have much time for yourself. Now
that they’re at Royal Estates with people to look after them, you have plenty of time. Give it a shot. You
might just find someone suitable.” Thssa suggested.
Evelyn had always put Thssa first. She even dyed her own personal life for her daughter.
Thssa felt very guilty. She was the one to disrupt Evelyn’s life.
Now, she hoped her mother could find apanion to share the sunset years of her life with, so she
wouldn’t be alone.
Thssa was Evelyn’s daughter, and she knew her mother better than anyone else.
Seeing through Thssa’s intentions, Evelyn waved her off. “Stop overthinking. Who do you think you
are? You think you stood in the way of me finding someone? If I wanted to find someone, not even God
could stop me. I just don’t have the heart for it anymore.”
She’d given her heart and soul to Bruce, even foolishly clinging to his empty promises.
She had thought there might still be a chance for them.
That was the main reason she hadn’t looked for someone else.
Now, she’d had enough. She was disappointed in men, and she was no longer young. Why even
bother anymore?
Thssa nced at Hertha as her eyes conveyed a silent message.
Hertha got the hint and joined Thssa in persuading Evelyn. “Thssa is just looking out for you.
Give it a shot; consider it a way to pass the time. You might meet someone suitable, and if not, there’s
no harm in staying single.”
“You all talk a good game. I’m done arguing with you.” Evelyn sighed. “Do whatever you want.”
With that, Thssa and Hertha exchanged a triumphant look.
Thssa immediately pulled out her phone and set up a dating profile for Evelyn. Once she’d filled out
the necessary information, she submitted it to the dating site. If there was a match, the site would
contact Evelyn to arrange a date.
After dinner, the three of them sat on the couch, chatting. When Evelyn grew tired, she retired to her
bedroom to rest.
Thssa and Hertha continued their conversation.
“How have you been at Royal Estates these past few weeks? Has Lysander given you any trouble?”
Hertha asked as she casually rested her hand on Thssa’s shoulder.
Thssa met Hertha’s gaze, which was filled with curiosity. She looked a bit ufortable to be under
such scrutiny and lowered her eyes. “I’m fine. How could he trouble me?”
“You know… in bed…” Hertha’s voice rose with excitement, but Thssa quickly put a hand over her
