Chapter 2083


    ?


    He ushered everyone out, leaving Lysander and Thssa some privacy in the solemnity of the old churchyard, ensuring they wouldn''t be disturbed. It wasn''t until they were well out of earshot, walking down the leaf-strewn path, that Rosalind felt safe enough to air her grievances.


    "I just can''t believe Lysander, going on about showing his true feelings for Thssa, iming he and my sister were just friends! Everyone knows they were inseparable, like two peas in a pod. It was obvious they were much more than friends!" she eximed.


    "Don''t jump to conclusions, Rosalind. Lysander knows his own heart better than anyone," Joshua chided, trying to silence Rosalind''s rant.


    His words made it clear whose side he was on. If Lysander exined it that way to Thssa, then Joshua was inclined to believe him. It was just unfortunate that his eldest daughter, Harper, had met such a tragic fate in the prime of her life, leaving all these unresolved feelings behind.


    "Dad, how can you say I''m making things up? Even Mom said that Harper and Lysander loved each other deeply. Why else would she always be by his side? That''s something lovers do, isn''t it?" Rosalind couldn''t hide her frustration with Joshua''s dismissal.


    "And Thssa, she must really have something, capturing Lysander''s heart in just a few years, to the point where he''d deny his rtionship with Harper for her," Rosalind continued to grumble about Thssa''s perceived faults.


    Just as she finished, her eyesnded on David, who was leaning against a shiny ck car parked under the dim streetlights. He seemed to be watching them, his gaze particrly fixed on her.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    The moment Rosalind caught sight of David, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively fell silent, avoiding his gaze as if afraid of finding disdain in his eyes for speaking ill of others behind their backs. Indeed, she was talking about Thssa negatively. She wouldn''t care if others found out, but being caught by David seemed intolerably embarrassing.


    Why did his opinion matter so much? Was it because he had once told her she deserved to be loved?


    "Exactly, I might not have been close


    with Harper, but her friends told me


    she and Lysander were an item, deeply indove. If it weren''t for that tragic ident, Harper would''ve been the one marrying Lysander,” Georgia chimed in, seeing Rosalind fall silent and eager to continue the tirade against Thssa.


    Thssa was a friend of Hertha, whom Georgia couldn''t stand, making her dislike Thssa by association. Seeing someone she disliked finding happiness was a bitter pill for Georgia to swallow.


    "Georgia, cut it out!" Rosalind


    snapped, suddenly changing her


    tone and silencing Georgia, who was taken aback by the sudden rebuke. Confused, Georgia wondered why Rosalind was scolding her for saying what Rosalind herself had initiated.


    Ignoring Georgia''s puzzled look, Rosalind turned to David, forcing a casual tone. "David, are you here on duty?"


    David nodded politely. "I''m here to pick up Mr. Sinir and his wife."


    Lysander hade by himself, but David had received a message to drive for them, so he had taken a taxi over.


    David''s reference to Thssa as "his


    wife" would have once stirred


    jealousy in Rosalind, but not


    anymore The dramatic proposal scene Lysander had orchestrated for Thssa had numbed her to any further details, leaving her,


    indifferent.


    “David, you''re always so dedicated, not just handling Mr. Sinir''s business affairs but his personal errands too," Rosalind said with augh, her wordsced with a hint of sarcasm.
