Chapter 753
She set down her fork, quickly rallying her four little ones into action and gathering the goodies meant
for their grandmother. They were setting off.
By the time everything was packed, Lysander’s car had already sped off from Royal Estates.
It seemed he wouldn’t be joining them back to Vibrant Oasis Residences.
Which was just as well, as his absence made for a lighter atmosphere, much to Thssa’s relief.
The usual SUV that shuttled the children to school was parked in the yard. Fitch stood by it to help the
kids on board. Once Thssa had climbed in, Fitch closed the door and instructed the driver to take it

easy on the road.
In no time, they had arrived at Vibrant Oasis Residences.
Thssa disembarked with her kids and returned home.
Pushing the door open, the house was eerily quiet. Evelyn was nowhere to be seen.
A pang of worry hit Thssa. Where could Evelyn have gone? Maybe she was entangling with Bruce
again?
“Hey, where’s Grandma?” Dorian asked curiously.
As soon as he spoke, the door to one of the rooms swung open and out came Evelyn, her face flushed
with excitement. “My little cherubs are home,” she cooed, e give Grandma a hug. I’ve missed you
so.”
She made a beeline for the kids who ran over to meet her halfway.
Evelyn enfolded all four in her arms, showering kisses on their innocent faces. Tears welled up in her
eyes, “My precious little ones, you’ve grown so much and you’re all so adorable. Even when
Grandma’s not around, you’re doing so well. Oh, I’m such a good-for-nothing.”
Thssa could sense something off with Evelyn’s mood. When no one was home, she had locked
herself in her room.
And now she was calling herself a good-for-nothing.
“Mom, you’re anything but a good-for-nothing. Do you think these kids could have turned out so cute
and adorable if it weren’t for your care? They’re growing up and needing to be independent,” Thssa
Thssa felt a sour pang of sadness in her heart as well when she first realized that her kids could
sleep soundly without her or Evelyn’spany. But she had soone to terms with it. Kids did grow
up and be independent.
To love them was to respect their independence and to let go when necessary.
Evelyn wiped away her tears, “Yes, they should learn to be independent anyways, just like you. You are
a self-reliant woman who doesn’t need a mother. And here I am, always causing you trouble.”
“How are you causing me trouble? You raised me, and now I can hold my own. That’s all because of
your upbringing. If I had to stand by and watch you in trouble without being able to do anything, that
would be a failure, Thssa responded with a gentle voice.
Evelyn was shock, disappointment, and heartbreak.
With all that had happened recently, Thssa was afraid Evelyn would dwell on it too much and it
could affect her emotionally.
Hearing Thssa’s words, Evelyn finally broke into a smile. She quickly changed the subject, “Can the
kids stay here for a few days? I want to spend some more time with them before I find a job. No matter
how small the pay, it’ll help pass the time.”
‘Sure, I’ll call Lysander and let him know, Thssa agreed.
Evelyn thinking in this way was the best possible oue. As long as she could step out of the
shadow of Bruce’s deceit, Thssa would be relieved.
In the afternoon, Evelyn sat with the kids and was engrossed in a TV show.
As dusk approached, Thssa, fearing Lysander would pressure her to bring the kids home, retreated
to her room, closed the door, and dialed Lysander’s number.
Unlike before, when the phone would ring endlessly before being answered, it was picked up almost
immediately.
Even over the phone, Lysander’s intimidating, oppressive aura was palpable.
Thssa was instinctively nervous. “My mom would like the kids to stay here for a few days. Fitch can
pick them up after they finish school next Monday. Is that okay?”
