Inside the hotel room.
Thalassaâs hand, clutching her phone, began to slip away from her ear.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, going down her chin and falling onto the plush carpet, along with her phone.
Cutting ties with past cherished memories felt like a knife cutting through her heart.
It was a sharp pain..
She had thought that in these past five years, all her heart and love had been poured into her four children.
Nobody else could stir the ripples in her heart anymore.
However, when she heard Leopoldâs voice trembling, saying âI know nowâ, her heart ached so much.
From now on, just as she wished, Leopold would never appear in her life again.
That was pretty good, wasnât it?
She had her own life, and he had his.
Every pair that couldnât be together for a lifetime was ultimately just a passerby in each otherâs lives.
Thalassa collapsed onto the plush carpet, crying, but a smile gradually formed at the corner of her mouth.
Actually, this outcome was good for both her and Leopold.
She should be happy, not sad.
Leopold would understand. After a period of sadness, he would move on to a new life. That was pretty good too.
Thalassa raised her hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Picking up the phone from the floor, she just realized that Hertha had called. She was too busy mourning to notice her phone vibrating.
After the incoming call was cut off, she slid the answer key, took a deep breath, and tried her best to stabilize her emotions.
âThalassa, where the hell are you this late at night? Youâre not holed up with Lysander, are you?â
As soon as the call connected, Herthaâs high-pitched astonishment came through.
Thalassaâs low mood was instantly diverted by her, her heart filled with surprise and guilt, leaving no time for sadness.
She quickly said, âHertha, are you dreaming? Why are you making such dirty jokes as soon as you call?â
âI wish I could have those dreams, but Iâm not that lucky. Now tell me honestly, where are you? Are you with that hunk Lysander? Otherwise, you wouldnât have lied, about shopping with me to deceive Evelyn.â Hertha was lively and cheerful, she was a mood lifter.
Even just over the phone, her voice could make anyone cheerful.
Who would have time to be upset?
Thalassa understood that Evelyn must have called Hertha to confirm the situation.
Thalassa became nervous. What if her mother found out about the tug of war between her and Lysander? Her mother never let any grudge go overnight and would confront anyone, regardless of their status.
She would definitely go find Lysander to argue, and then the children wouldnât be able to hide any longer.
Thalassa didnât want to lose her four adorable children because her mother stood up for her.
That would be a big loss for a small gain.
Thalassa quickly asked, âYou didnât give anything away, did you?â
âRelax, who do you think I am? If I wanted to go into the entertainment industry, the Oscar for Best Actress would be mine.â Hertha was brimming with confidence. âNow stop changing the subject, where are you now? Did you just finish doing the deed with Lysander?â
Herthaâs words made Thalassaâs face as hot as a hand warmer.
âDo you think Iâm as infatuated as you? Men are nice to look at, but having sex is a loss for women.â
âSo did you have sex tonight or not?â Thatâs what Hertha was most curious about.
Thalassa was choked by her question, her face reddened.
They did kiss, but it was still a long way from the real sex.
Thalassa realized her thoughts were straying and quickly gathered them..
She couldnât think about that. It was too terrifying.
She blushed and quickly changed the topic, âGo away, stop joking about me. Iâm miserable enough as it is.
