Chapter 1472


    Although Thssa didn''t want to hear what Matilda had to say, every word seemed to pierce her


    ears without missing a beat.


    Anything rted to Lysander was a sensitive topic for Thssa. Even without preparing herself to


    listen, her ears instinctively caught every word.


    Three years ago, Zephyr had discussed with Joshua the possibility of arranging a marriage between


    Rosalind and Lysander?


    Rosalind had waited for Lysander for three years because of Zephyr''s words?


    Thssa''s nerves tensed, and a chill spread through her body.


    She remembered that three years ago, when she visited Susan in the hospital, Zephyr had


    suddenly appeared, and while refusing to let Susan stay by Lysander''s side, he had mentioned that


    Lysander was to marry Miss Whitman.


    At the time, Thssa thought Zephyr''s words were just to reject Susan and to make it clear to her


    that there was no future with Lysander.


    But it was true!


    The person Zephyr had chosen for Lysander to marry was none other than Rosalind Whitman!


    Matilda''s sudden mention of this matter caught Joshua off guard, and he nced worriedly at


    Thssa before saying to Matilda, "The Sinirs haven''t brought up this matter. Let''s not talk about


    it anymore."


    Joshua had agreed to Zephyr''s request for an arranged marriage because he hadn''t known then


    that Thssa was his daughter, nor that she and Lysander had four children together.


    He thought Thssa was just another woman in Lysander''s life, bound to part ways eventually.


    He hadn''t realized the depth of Thssa and Lysander''s connection.

    Had he known earlier that Thssa was his daughter and that she and Lysander had pledged


    themselves to each other, he would never have agreed to Zephyr''s proposal for Rosalind and


    Lysander.


    Matilda, fully aware of Thssa and Lysander''s rtionship, brought up the topic out of the blue,


    putting Thssa in an awkward position.


    Joshua, concerned for Thssa''s feelings, tried to change the subject.


    "Lysander has been in aa for three years, and Thssa has been taking care of him. Everyone


    can see her devotion," Joshua said.


    "The Sinirs haven''t mentioned Lysander and Rosalind''s engagement because of Lysander''s


    condition these past years. Zephyr is probably worried about Rosalind turning him down. Just


    because the Sinirs are silent, doesn''t mean we should ignore the issue," Matilda said, as if she


    couldn''t grasp Joshua''s hint, sticking to her original subject.


    After speaking, she nced at Thssa with a noblewoman''s disdain, adding, "Thssa is tending


    to Lysander as a hired caregiver, just like Royal Estates'' staff. The staff gets paid, and isn''t she the


    same? Which of Royal Estates'' employees doesn''t care for Lysander?"


    She implied that Thssa was no different from any other employee hired to care for Lysander.


    "Mom, Lysander is so aplished, and handsome too. Any woman would be moved by just one


    nce at him. You can''t reduce Thssa''s feelings for Lysander to those of a servant for her


    master," Rosalind interjected, her brows arching as if she was defending Thssa, but her


    insinuation was clear: Thssa''s affection for Lysander was unrequited and self-imposed.


    Listening to their exchange, Thssa felt a suffocating pressure. She set down her silverware and


    said, "I''ve lost my appetite. I''ll be going now."


    With that, she stood up and left.


    Joshua hurried after her, calling, "Thssa..."
