Chapter 1815


    So Callum guessed that Thssa hadn''t shared what she heard at the police station with Lysander yet. Thssa averted her gaze, looking away without saying a word. Though she remained silent, Callum understood the answer. Thssa hadn''t told Lysander, proving that deep down, she wasn''t as cold-hearted as she appeared. He still had a chance in Thssa''s heart.


    "Thssa, do you know why I was able to show up at the semifinals right away, with the surveince footage repaired?" Callum asked again.


    "To make amends?" Thssa countered.


    Callum paused before responding, "During the jewelry design contest semifinals, someone swapped your piece with a stic fake. It was all Susan''s doing. Atticus fixed the footage, and he asked me to bring it to thepetition to prove your innocence."


    Thssa''s eyes widened in shock. Atticus had been helping her all along! Her son had always been supporting her from the shadows, and she was clueless about it.


    "And for the finals, knowing you were in trouble, Atticus sought me out immediately to help find evidence to clear your name. His unwavering trust in me to reach out, doesn''t it mean he trusts me?" Callum said.


    Thssa let out a lightugh, "That''s because he only sees what''s on the surface, not knowing who you truly are."


    "No, it''s because he can tell I genuinely want what''s best for you both. Even a seven-year-old gets it, don''t you see my intentions?" Callum urged, his toneced with desperation. His earnest expression, his urgency to get Thssa to understand his feelings.


    Thssa paused, then realized whatBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    he was implying. She was slightly annoyed yet amused, "Under the guise of looking out for me, you hurt those close to me, pinned it on someone else, and expect me to understand you?" Content belongs

    "That''s not what I meant. I know I messed up before, I''ve reflected on my actions, and I truly regret them. I''m just asking for a chance to make things right," Callum pleaded earnestly.


    Thssa had reached a state of


    calm, unshaken by whatever Callum said. She didn''t want to harbor any special resentment towards him. Thssa closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and upon opening them again, she addressed him, "Callum, I''m not telling Lysander because I''m not looking to stir up trouble, not because I want to spare his feelings. I''m letting this go. From now on, let''s just go our separate ways. You have your life, and I have mine, let''s not interfere with each other anymore."


    With that, Thssa turned and walked away. Callum was about to call out to her, but seeing her


    determined stride, he stopped himself, Erowning at her retreating figure, his eyes drooped, hiding the disappointment within. If only moving on was as easy as saying it, he wouldn''t have been holding on for three years. The longer time passed, the more he understood how

    Thssa returned to the car, watching through the window as Atticus and Lysander chatted, both seeming at ease. The heartwarming scene of father and son together warmed her heart too.


    Inside the car, Lysander asked Atticus, "Did you know your mom was in trouble?"


    "I had been using a drone to keep an eye on her, then I installed a tracking app on her phone," Atticus admitted openly.


    After he finished, Lysander''s deep gaze turned to him, "You did what?"
