Astrid just put a clean cushion on the sofa and mopped the floor at home..
Lucky for her, she did the cleaning today. Otherwise, the elegant and polite guests who seemed to have a high status would feel awkward if they saw the messy house.
They would definitely think it was rude.
Astrid was unconsciously intimidated by the noble and dignified aura of Lysander and subconsciously felt timid.
Lysander sat on the sofa, and Astrid hurriedly poured him a cup of coffee and, carefully placed it in front of him, and then said, âSir, please have some coffee. Who are you? So I can let Thalassa know when she comes back.â
Lysander didnât take the coffee; he asked in a low voice, âAre you her mother?â
âOh, no, Iâm her aunt. Thalassa just picked me up, and I live with her,â Astrid said honestly.
Lysander said, âYou are Celiaâs mother.â
âYou know Celia?â Astrid was excited, filled with sorrow and surprise in her eyes.
âUm.â
Astrid thought of her poor daughter; she felt sad and breathless, and her eyes were red as she said, âYou still remember her. It was a long time ago; she didnât even have the chance to tell me she had a friend like you. My poor daughter passed away so suddenlyâ¦â
Astrid wiped her tears.
Her daughter had died very young and didnât have the chance to tell her mother who her friends were and who she played with.
Her daughter probably met this man in kindergarten.
Looking at his young age, he must have been a little boy at that time.
Unexpectedly, this man in front of her still remembered her daughter.
That was a long time ago, and he really had a good memory.
Seeing Astrid crying, Lysander thought if he had taken Celia away that night, she wouldnât have died.
After all, he still owed her.
Lysander took a tissue and handed it to Astrid as he said, âSheâs gone; let her rest in peace.â
Astrid took the tissue and wiped away her tears. It was inappropriate for her to cry like this in front of a stranger.
She composed herself and asked, âSir, what can I do for you with Thalassa?â
*How is Thalassa doing?â Lysander asked.
Astrid proudly said, âThalassa is very capable and willing to work hard. She is very good at making money. She supports the whole family by herself.â
âDo you guys know about her usual behavior? Lysander raised an eyebrow slightly.
Did her family know about her theft, legal disputes, using her beauty to seduce men and climb up, and working in nightclubs to make money?
When it came to Thalassa, Astrid felt both proud and heartbroken. Her face was full of sadness and affection, âWhatever she does, she will tell me and her mother. We know the source of every penny she earns. She has suffered a lot since she was a child.â
Lysanderâs eyes were deep.
Astrid said with sorrow, âThalassa grew up without a father. She can be said to have survived in difficulties. Fortunately, she has been very resilient since she was a child. Otherwise, she could not have grown into such a positive and optimistic girl. Her mother and I canât work, and all the expenses at home are supported by her alone. Sometimes, she has to do several jobs a day, but she has never complained about being tired, Originally, she had entered college and could have had a good future, but this girl encountered a lot of difficulties. She would rather give up her studies than harm othersâ¦â
Lysander listened to her words, and his eyes became even deeper.
At this moment, there was a sound at the door, and someone was back.
Astrid Immediately stood up to greet at the door.
It was probably Evelyn bringing the kids home.
