Chapter 1338
Breathing ragged and heart racing, Thalassa stared at Lysander, her words
deliberate and tense, “I'm not one for daydreams, and I'd appreciate it if Mr.
Sinclair didn’t try to force
them on me!”
Her statement, though resolute, carried an undertone of self-deprecation,
echoing like a speck of dust in its insignificance.
Once upon a time, she had indeed fantasized about marrying Lysander, and she
had asked him more than once if he would ever take her as his wife. What was
his response?
He told her not to daydream!
Now she was wide awake and clear-minded, and her only desire was to stay far
away from Lysander.
Yet there he was, showing up in the dead of night, proposing to her!
Shock gave way to a bitter, mocking desolation in Thalassa.
Lysander caught the rejection in her voice, along with the desolate tone of a heart
that had been wounded and scarred.
His own heart clenched as though gripped by an invisible hand, the pain
tightening its hold, making even his breaths heavy and labored.
“Get some rest. I'll come for you in the morning,” Lysander’s deep, smooth voice
broke the silence as he stood and walked away.
Thalassa propped herself up in bed, the moonlight casting a ghostly glow on his
retreating silhouette. She didn’t want to see him leave, but his overpowering
presence was etched into her vision.
The soft moonlight painted his dark figure with a frosty sheen, reminiscent of a
winter's night when leaves are coated with a layer of frost.
It was a sight that sent an involuntary chill through her heart, an urge to flee.
Lysander walked out the door and closed it gently behind him.
The sound of the door shutting unleashed the tears Thalassa had been holding
back. She Tay back down, her heart drowning in a wave of sour anguish.
The next day, Thalassa’s eyes snapped open to the morning sun so bright it
nearly blinded her.
Shielding her eyes, she came to full awareness. She got out of bed and went to
check on the children, only to find their room empty!

Chapter 1338
A sense of crisis hit her. Had Lysander taken the kids away?
Panicked, she rushed outside and then saw four small figures in the vegetable
patch, clustered around Astrid.
“Astrid, Mom loves green beans. Let's pick extra for her,” Atticus’ little hands were
full of green beans, yet his eyes were still on the plant, picking more.
“Alright, you pick more so I can cook them for your mom later,” Astrid said fondly,
patting Atticus’ head.
Despite her eyes still swollen from last night's crying, the sight of the four
adorable children brought a warm smile to her face.
“Astrid, you like potatoes, right? Look how many I dug up!” Elowen held two
potatoes with her chubby hands.

“Elowen, you're so funny with mud all over your face,” Dorian giggled, his
laughter as clear as a bell.
Elowen and Dorian were the household's jesters.
Wherever they were, laughter and joy were never far behind.
“Do you want to play with mud too, Dorian?” Elowen asked mischievously.
“No way!” Dorian protested.
