Chapter 1653


    Even the sudden engagement to Rosalind went without exnation.


    Right, what status did she hold, anyway? She wasn’t anybody to Lysander, why would he feel the


    need to exin anything to her?


    Thssa snapped back from her gloomy thoughts, catching Callum’s soft gaze on her. She blinked


    away her sorrow, tucking away her emotions, and said to Callum, “Mr. Gordon, your tea’s ready. It’s


    at the perfect temperature now.”


    Though she kept her tone polite, Callum noticed the puffiness of her eyes, aware she had been


    crying, clearly heartbroken.


    But why?


    It must be because of the engagement news between Lysander and Rosalind today.

    In that moment, Callum realized, Lysander meant more to Thssa than she let on, more than she


    admitted to having feelings for him.


    Callum hid his own flurry of emotions, offering a small smile, “Alright, I’ll have it then.”


    Thssa quickly turned to serve Hertha and ric as well.


    “Mr. Falconer, Hertha, would you like some tea too?” Thssa offered politely.


    Hertha wasn’t in the mood for tea, her wide eyes fixed on Thssa, filled with confusion, “Did


    Lysander really just leave you hanging?”


    Just the mention of Lysander’s name sent a sharp, burning pain through Thssa’s heart.


    She lowered her gaze, pulling out a bag of sunflower seeds from the coffee table drawer, handing it


    to Hertha, “Have some snacks.”


    She really didn’t want to talk about Lysander right now.


    Hertha, being Thssa’s best friend, understood her all too well.


    Thssa changing the subject clearly indicated her reluctance to discuss Lysander.


    She had locked herself away, probably overwhelmed by thoughts of him.


    Catching on, Hertha wisely didn’t pursue the topic further.


    Grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds, she cracked one open, noticing ric watching her with a


    scrutinizing look.


    She offered the bag to ric, “Want some?”


    ric smirked, taking a handful from her, joining in the snacking.


    For a while, the room was filled with the sound of them eating sunflower seeds, the atmosphere


    turning slightly awkward.


    Thssa kept her eyes down, masking her sadness.


    “Hey, Thssa, have you had dinner yet?” Hertha suddenly asked, curious.


    “No,” Thssa replied almost reflexively.


    “Thiste and still no dinner? Come on, let’s go grab some street food.” Hertha stood up, linking


    arms with Thssa, ready to head out.


    ric stood up as well, “I haven’t had dinner either.”


    “So, all of us to the street food stalls?” Hertha’s eyes sparkled with the idea, turning to him.


    “What’s street food?” ric squinted slightly, puzzled.


    “You don’t know what street food is?” Hertha sounded surprised, teasing, “Wow, the Falconer family


    heir, so detached frommon life, only knows about fancy ces, unaware of the simple joys of


    usmon folks.”


    Stung by her words, ric straightened up, “Well, it’s about time I start adapting tomon life.


    Let’s go, show me these street food stalls. I’m curious to see what’s so special about them!”
