Sheâd thank her lucky stars if a decent man was willing to marry her daughter.
She didnât expect her daughter to hit the jackpot overnight, she was just hoping for someone whoâd treat her right so they could lead a normal life together Isabella didnât go back home until she saw Astrid with the two boys and Evelyn with the two girls coming back in turn. Now she felt relieved As long as Lysander didnât bump into the four kids, all was well.
Now that Lysander had left Hollowbrook, she didnât have much to worry about.
She held her head high and her chest out beaming with confidence as she walked back home Her house was right behind Thalassas, a towering building that completely blocked the view of Thalassaâs place.
When they built their house. Thalassa was away, working outside while being pregnant, only to come back and find Isabellaâs house towering over hers in an imposing way Even the sunlight was blocked by Isabellas house Thalassa was miffed, but nothing could be done about it now. She couldnât just tear down Isabellaâs house.
Thalassa felt a knot in her stomach when she saw Isabella strut around so arrogantly âAstrid, come with us to Starhaven tomorrow, I ve rented a two bedroom flat there, thereâs enough space for all of us. Thalassa held Astridâs arm, pleading gently.
Astrid looked pale, and her legs seemed to be giving her trouble as she moved. Thalassa was worried about her rheumatism.
The house was damp and cold; it was not fit for long-term living It was a recipe for illness.
And winter was just around the corner, wouldnât it be even colder for Astrid?
âBut wouldnât that be a brother? Astrid was afraid to impose on Thalassa Evelyn was a tough cookie. but she had a good heart. Whatâs the bother? Youâd be there to chit-chat with me. Its lonely and tiring to look after four kids alone. Thereâs nothing wrong with it. Tomorrow, youâre coming with us, She also noticed Astrid had been living here alone in a poor environment.
Especially after Isabellaâs house was built, their house was rarely bathed in sunlight. Astridâs health was deteriorating.
Astrid was a few years younger than Evelyn, yet she looked older.
After seeing Evelyns determination, Astrid didnât object anymore.
A sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped along on the asphalt road David was driving steadily up front, while Lysander sat in the back seat.
His lips parted slightly, David, bring the construction crew to Hollowbrook tomorrow to demolish Thalassaâs house.â
David was taken aback, âMr. Sinclair, are you sure?â
âYes.â Lysander confirmed.
Did Thalassa upset Mr. Sinclair? David wondered.
Didnât Mr. Sinclair come all the way to Hollowbrook specifically to see Thalassa?
Didnât he have a soft spot for Thalassa?
But now, it seemed like Mr. Sinclair had left no room for Thalassa to wiggle out of this situation, he was really going to tear her house down.
David silently mourned for Thalassa.
Then Lysander continued, âBuild a skyscraper for her Remember, it has to be taller than the house behind hers.â
David instantly cheered up. âSure thingâ
Seemed like he was worrying too much. Davidâs mood improved, and he drove smoothly Lysander leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, taking a nap.
No matter how much of a pain Thalassa was, that was still Celiaâs home, where Celiaâs mother was living. He wanted to make the environment better.
He was planning to go see Celiaâs mother, ask for her opinion, and arrange a suitable place for her.
But Thalassa was just too much. He didnât want to stay any longer, but the arrangement for Celiaâs mother couldnât wait The next day. Thalassaâs family packed their bags and left for Starhaven What Thalassa didnât know was that not long after they left, Davidâs construction crew came to Hollowbrook and demolished their house.
