Chapter 1032


    Thssa understood Callum''s intentions all too well now.


    She’d never have imagined that Callum would deflect all the credit onto Lysander just to help her

    escape.


    In the past, Thssa might have questioned Callum''s motives, but ever since she found out that


    Callum was not only a close friend of Leopold''s but also a righteous journalist, her trust in him was


    unwavering.


    "Alright. I''ll get the kids and leave Royal Estates immediately." Thssa said calmly, steeling her


    resolve.


    "I''ll wait for you at the house Lysander bought for your mother." Callum said before hanging up.


    The house Lysander bought for her mother? Was he referring to the house that was exchanged from


    the estate Leopold left behind?


    Thssa was about to step out of the bathroom when she paused.


    No, rushing out like this would raise suspicions among the Royal Estates'' staff. It would be odd to enter


    the bathroom and not take a bath.


    To maintain appearances, Thssa quickly showered, headed to Atticus'' room, and found Evelyn


    cheerfully recounting ancient tales to Atticus and Dorian.


    Thssa whispered something into Evelyn''s ear.


    Evelyn''s expression flickered with surprise then settled into a look of resolve. She turned to Thssa


    and said, "Okay, I got it."


    Then, Evelyn turned to Atticus and Dorian. "It''s gettingte; Grandma needs to head back."


    "Grandma, why don''t you just stay over? My bed is big enough for you." Dorian pouted, unhappy at the


    prospect of his grandmother leaving.


    Evelyn''s smile was tender but held a polite distance. "This isn''t Grandma''s home, and I''m not used to it


    here. It''s better if I go back."


    Atticus, the more perceptive one, noticed Evelyn''s difort and the deliberate distance she kept,


    even with them.


    Grandma wasn''t usually so formal with them.


    Atticus realized it was because they were in his father''s house that Grandma felt out of ce, without a


    sense of home.


    He said, "Then we''ll go back with Grandma."


    Evelyn''s face lit up with joy, and without any pretense of politeness, she eagerly said, "Oh yes, please


    do! Grandma has a new house, and you haven''t seen it yet."


    "I want to go! I want to go! I need to get dressed to go to Grandma''s new house." Dorian eximed,


    jumping off the bed, dancing with excitement.


    "Alright, alright, Grandma will help you get dressed." Evelyn replied, grinning from ear to ear. She


    hurried to find clothes for the children, since it wouldn''t be proper to leave in their pajamas.


    "I''ll go change." Thssa said, quickly leaving the room.


    Once everyone was ready, Thssa, Evelyn, and the kids made their way to the foyer.


    Fitch, noticing their unusual behavior — not ready for bed, but instead preparing to leave —


    approached with concern.


    "Ms. Everhart, are you heading out?" Fitch inquired.


    Thssa replied, "Fitch, I was just about to look for you. Here''s the thing: My mom isn''t settling in well


    here, and she''s worried that Lysander will be upset if he finds an extra person upon returning. She


    wants to go back, and the kids are insisting on going to their grandma''s house. I''m thinking of taking all


    of them back now, and we''ll go straight to school tomorrow. You can pick them up there in the


    afternoon."


    Fitch was not in a position to make a decision. He looked at the children, visibly torn.
