Chapter 1814


    Atticus Sinir thought his mom was just being sweet, so he happily made his way over to Thssa.


    Thssa grabbed his hand, pulling him close to her and Lysander, and with a cool tone, she said to Callum, "Mr. Gordon, regardless, thanks for sticking up for me earlier."


    With that, she was ready to leave with Atticus in tow.


    Atticus, though young, could tell there was some tension between his mom and Callum.


    Before he could ponder further, Callum''s voice trailed after them, "Thssa, can we talk alone for a moment?"


    Thssa paused, her posture stiffening, but she didn''t turn around.


    Atticus felt Thssa''s grip on his hand tighten. He looked up at her, noticing her furrowed brows and serious expression.


    Weren''t his mom and Callum good friends? Why did it seem like they were almost strangers now?


    As Atticus was lost in thought, Lysander''s deep, maic voice broke the silence, "We''ll wait for you in the car."


    Thssa nced at Lysander, surprised. She hadn''t decided whether to talk to Callum alone, and here was Lysander, seemingly okay with it? Wasn''t Lysander supposed to be wary of Callum?


    Why would he suddenly agree to let her talk to Callum alone?


    Without waiting for Thssa to respond, Lysander wheeled himself towards the car, telling Atticus, “Come on, Atticus."


    Hastily, Atticus followed, helping the bodyguard load Lysander into the vehicle before climbing in himself.


    As he shut the car door, he gave Thssa an encouraging look.


    With her son''s support, Thssa felt a wave of calm. She turned back to Callum, "Let''s talk over there by the fountain."


    They headed towards a grand column near the hotel''s side, where few people wandered, and the column itself offered privacy from prying eyes. Choosing this spot for their conversation was perfect since its openness meant avoiding the awkwardness of being alone in an enclosed space.


    Following her, Callum caught a glimpse of Thssa''s icy demeanor, his heart wrestling with itself before he finally spoke up, "Thssa, did you overhear my conversation with Susan at the police station that day?"

    Thssa let out a scornfulugh, "I did. Had I not identally heard your chat with Susan, I would''ve never known that it was you who secretly sabotaged my mother three years ago, pinning it on Lysander."


    She had been under the mistaken belief that Lysander was indirectly responsible for her mother''s death.


    Because of this misunderstanding, she had kept her distance from Lysander, refusing to admit she had fallen for him long ago.


    It almost led him to marry Rosalind.


    Callum''s expression turned painful as he earnestly said to Thssa, "Thssa, was too in love with you back then, trying to get you away from Lysander and I chose the wrong way to do it. I''ve been trying


    to make amends..." Content belongs

    "Make amends? How can you possibly do that?" Thssa mocked, her mother would nevere back, how could he ever make up for that kind of hurt?


    "Thssa, you haven''t told Lysander about this, have you?" Callum suddenly asked.


    He had been observing Lysander


    and Thssa''s reactions closely.

    Thssa was extremely cold towards him, while Lysander seemed to maintain his usual, demeanor - indifferent but cautious,cking the anger Thssa showed.
