Chapter 879


    But Lysander’s deep-set eyes were always fixated on Thssa.


    Even though Thssa never looked his way, she could feel the depth of Lysander’s scrutinizing gaze.


    It felt as solid and cold as a chunk of ice, causing her to involuntarily shiver.


    Recently, Thssa had been wrestling with the question of why Lysander had driven Leopold to his


    death. She pondered the question for a long time but couldn’t find any answers.


    She yearned to see her children, but she didn’t have the courage to contact Lysander.


    She thought that after her confession of wanting to leave him, and since Lysander was still upset with


    her, he wouldn’t bother with her anymore.


    Unexpectedly, he made an appearance at the banquet and even helped her out of a huge mess.


    If not for his insistence on checking the surveince footage, she would have found it hard to prove her


    innocence. Checking surveince footage on her own was nearly impossible.


    After all, the surveince footage from such an event captured the private moments of influential


    businessmen, not something easily essible to just anyone.


    For his help, Thssa was grateful.


    However, she wondered why Lysander helped her. He had no intention of marrying her or even

    acknowledging her as her girlfriend.


    His control and possession of her were driven by resentment and a strong possessive desire.


    If he resented her, then why did he help her?


    Lysander had always been enigmatic and unreadable, his thoughts forever elusive to her.


    “Mummy, this bunny cupcake is so yummy. It’s so sweet! You should try it! It’s really good,” Elowen’s


    cheerful voice interrupted her thoughts.


    Thssa nced over to see Elowen holding up a fork with a fluffy bunny-shaped cupcake skewered


    onto it.


    She stretched out her hand, offering the cupcake to Thssa with her big, innocent eyes sparkling with


    excitement.


    Thssa’s tense nerves rxed and she smiled at Elowen. “Alright, let me have a try.”


    She opened her mouth and bit into the small bunny cupcake.


    With a bite, she could taste the soft texture and milky sweetness of the cupcake.


    “Mm, it’s really good, Elowen. Thank you, sweetheart,” Thssa praised, giving Elowen a thumbs-up.


    “Mummy, I recognized that the bracelet was genuine right away. Am I amazing?” Sophia, not wanting to


    be left out, eagerly sought praise.


    Thssa gently ruffled her hair and smiled. “Yes, Sophia. You were amazing. Everyone was so


    impressed; they couldn’t believe how smart you are.”


    Sophia giggled, revealing her adorable dimples as she smiled broadly.


    Having received their mother’s praise, Elowen and Sophia happily continued munching on their food.


    Dorian and Atticus, who had been quiet, were busy eating their food, clearly hungry.


    After calming the children, Thssa looked around the hall again. Lysander had left, and she couldn’t


    spot him anywhere. Zephyr was also not in sight.


    As Thssa was looking around, Amelia suddenly shot her a venomous re. The look was even


    more piercing than it had been at the start of the banquet.


    Thssa felt a chill run down her spine as she met Amelia’s icy stare. Her brows furrowed in


    apprehension.


    “Enough! Stop causing trouble. Grandfather didn’t call you out earlier to save dignity for you. Don’t take


    his kindness for granted!” Amelia’s husband, Payton, noticing Amelia’s hostile gaze towards Thssa,


    pulled her close and whispered a stern warning.
