Chapter 863


    Thssa closed her eyes bitterly.


    She had just been about to ask Lysander about this unexpected change, but one look at his icy profile,


    who was staring nkly out of the car window, made the words die in her throat.


    Before long, the car stopped. $sa’s surprise, they weren’t at the Royal Estates, but rather at the Vibrant


    Oasis Residences.


    Stepping out of the car, she barely had time to close the door before the car sped off, not lingering for

    even a moment. It was as if Lysander couldn’t bear to see her for a second longer.


    Thssa watched the sleek ck Rolls Royce disappear into the distance before turning to head into


    the building.


    The apartment was pitch ck. She flicked on a switch, and the room was suddenly illuminated by a


    dazzling white light.


    Evelyn, seated on the couch, blinked and shielded her eyes from the sudden brightness.


    “Mom, you’re home. Why didn’t you have any lights on?” Thssa asked, surprised.


    Evelyn shook her head, her eyes flitting back and forth between Thssa and the empty space behind


    her. “Why should I keep the lights on when I’m here all alone? That’s just a waste of electricity.”


    “Don’t say that, Mom. Humans invented light bulbs to use them, not to save them,” Thssa said,


    setting her bag down by the door.


    “Why did you suddenly decide toe home today? You haven’t been around for days,” Evelyn said,


    her face pale and her spirits clearly low. Thssa could tell something was wrong.


    “Mom, what’s going on? Are you feeling lonely here all by yourself?” Thssa asked, concern coloring


    her voice.


    Evelyn let out a weary sigh. “I used to be so busy taking care of my four little grandkids, rushing them


    off to school and then waiting eagerly for them toe home. Now, it doesn’t matter whether I wake up


    or not. There’s nothing to look forward to.”


    Life used to be so lively, but suddenly it was quiet, and Evelyn feltpletely empty, finding it hard to


    adjust. Now she spent the whole day sitting on the couch, lost in thought. She used toin about


    the exhaustion of taking care of the children, but now that she didn’t have them around, it was as if


    she’d lost her whole world, feeling utterly empty.


    Thssa hugged her mother, resting her head on her shoulder. “Mom, I understand what you’re going


    through. But don’t worry, we’ll get back to normal soon. If you’re really feeling lonely, you could go visit


    Auntie.”


    “I’m not going anywhere. If I leave, I’ll lose all chances of seeing my grandkids. At least I still have a


    chance if I stay here,” Evelyn said, her voice filled with determination.


    “I’ve been trying to find a job these past few days, but no one seems to want me. I don’t know where


    I’ve gone wrong,” Evelyn confessed, a helpless expression on her face.


    “Mom, it’s okay if you don’t have a job. You could join a dance ss, or go for walks. I’ll try toe


    home more often to keep youpany,” Thssa said, hugging her mother like a child, just like


    Elowen used to do.


    “Focus on your work and your kids. Don’t worry about me. If you don’t spend time with them, they might


    forget about us,” Evelyn said, her mind always on her beloved grandkids.


    “They won’t forget us, Mom,” Thssa said, not willing to ept the possibility.


    “They’re little, Thssa. Whoever spends the most time with them will win their affections. It wouldn’t


    be surprising if they forgot their own mother after a while,” Evelyn said.


    “And don’t be so stubborn. Try to win Lysander over. It’ll be better for you and the kids. You know how


    men are. Once you’ve won their hearts, they’re yours,” Evelyn advised Thssa.
