Chapter 1037


    Elowen gazed into Thssa''s eyes. Her question was piercing to the very core of her mother''s soul.


    Thssa was taken aback, words failing her.


    Was theck of love between her and Lysander his fault, or hers?


    Elowen''s question about why she didn''t have feelings for Lysander left Thssa''s mind in a whirl.


    Why didn''t she harbor affection for Lysander? Or was it that she never had the right to cherish such


    feelings? Did she even like him at all?


    "Elowen, let''s not make this any harder on Mom. I''m ready to leave with her." piped up Atticus, who had


    been standing by silently but now stepped forward with a solemn tone.


    Though young, Atticus could read the distress and loss written all over Thssa''s face. He knew there


    had to be apelling reason for their mother to take them away from their father. And if it came down


    to choosing between his parents, Atticus would not hesitate to chose his mother.


    "I''m sticking with Mom too," dered Dorian, raising his hand and shuffling closer to Thssa.


    Elowen exchanged a puzzled and tender nce with Sophia. After a brief moment, Sophia snapped


    back to reality and told Thssa, "I''m going with Mom, too."


    "Yeah, let''s get on the ne! I love flying," Elowen chimed in, nodding enthusiastically and making her


    way to the aircraft.

    Within just two minutes, the children had unanimously decided, leaving Thssa with a bitter-sweet


    feeling in her heart. Her eyes were moist with gratitude for their unwavering loyalty to her.


    Suddenly, Thssa noticed that Elowen was struggling to climb into the ne, her chubby hands


    grappling with the edge but her legs too short to hoist herself up. The sight was so endearinglyical


    that Thssa couldn''t help butugh. She quickly stepped forward and lifted Elowen into the ne.


    Evelyn also pitched in to help with the kids, and soon, they were all aboard. Thssa climbed up and


    then pulled Evelyn in after her.


    "We leave atst. It hasn''t been easy." Evelyn sighed with a mix of relief and sorrow as they settled into


    their seats.


    Leaving meant Thssa wouldn''t have to endure any more hardships, and they could be with their


    children every day.


    Evelyn wasn''t surprised to find a ne ready to whisk them away from Starhaven.


    Thssa had whispered to her at the Royal Estates that someone woulde to take them back to a


    life like the one they had before.


    They used to be impoverished, and life was hard. Evelyn would oftenment that Thssa couldn''t


    earn enough, grumbling about her having children out of wedlock and not being able to rely on a man.


    Everything changed when the children''s father came into the picture and took them away. The once


    lively and simple existence they knew was shattered, leaving nothing but loneliness.


    It was only then that Evelyn realized how ungrateful she had been. They had always had enough - they


    had children around them, and their days were busy yet joyous, free of worries.


    Now, the children returned to their wealthy father, and Evelyn no longer had to care for them daily, but


    she was not happy anymore. She had been blind to her fortune, only recognizing the value of their


    once mundane life after losing it.


    Thssa nced at Evelyn but remained silent.


    "Please fasten your seat belts. We''re about to take off." Callum reminded them.


    Thssa nodded and hastily secured the seat belts around the four children.


    Unbeknownst to her, at that very moment, Lysander''s car was racing towards the airstrip.
