Chapter 61
Evelyn was pleased and reminded them, “Don’t forget about grandma”
“Yeah, we love grandma too. The children echoed together, their voices so sweet, making all the adults feel warm
Evelyn smiled, lifting her head, no longer feeling inferior or unable to face others.
At this moment, she felt immense pride
Who could be happier than her, having four grandkids who love her so much?
Hearing the kids, Thalassa felt incredibly touched.
Her four kids were the most precious wealth in her life.
They were her pride,
Something money can never buy
She told Isabella, You may be loaded, but you’re only living for yourself, not sharing your blessings. So chill out, don’t go showing
off everywhere. You’re living it up doesn’t mean everyone else can”
After saying this, she shot a meaningful glance at the woman standing next to Isabella
The woman shrank under her look, feeling ashamed. She thought Thalassa should be the one feeling shamed, but now it
seemed like she was the one who should be embarrassed.
Thalassa was right, just by buttering up the rich, could she become rich herself?
Rich people wouldn’t hand her money just because of her flattery.
Isabella, hearing Thalassa’s words and watching their backs as they left, was fuming.
Thalassa, despite struggling in life, still managed to be so happy and carefree!
How lucky could she be?
Even living in an old house, she still managed to catch a break and even had four kids!
Isabella had tried her best to make her life difficult!
Yet she still managed to keep her chin up, staying positive and confident!
Isabella was green with envy.
In terms of looks, she was no less than Thalassa; in terms of ability, she was even better. She’d tried every trick in the book to
live a life of luxury, so why couldn’t she be as happy as Thalassa?
Because she hadnt seen Thalassa hit rock bottom, she hadn’t seen Thalassa begging for her help!
Yes, that must be it, that’s why she wasn’t happy!
She would make sure that one day Thalassa would be unable to make ends meet, crying and begging her for money. Only then
would she truly be happy!
Thalassa returned home with the kids.
This was the place where she grew up, a brick and tile house, albeit shabby, but she kept it clean and tidy
The collapsed old house and pigsty had been cleaned up and turned into a vegetable garden, growing all kinds of veggies.
Her house was right behind Isabella’s.
Isabella’s house used to be a brick and tile house, just like hers, old and run down, But ever since she got rich, she tore down
the old house and built a fancy skyscraper
The skyscraper blocked the sunlight from Thalassa’s house, leaving it mostly in shadows, except in summer.
So, this already poor house seemed even more gloomy.
“Auntie, how are you feeling? Are you sick?” Thalassa asked with concern when she found Astrid resting in bed after coming
home.
Thalassa’s family had gone to Starhaven to make a living, leaving Astrid alone at home.
Usually Astrid was as fit as a fiddle, but she seemed a bit off now.
She was only in her forties, two years younger than Thalassa’s mother, Evelyn,
But she seemed so old, with half her hair gone white and wrinkles and age spots all over her face.
She aged so fast due to years of depression.
Her daughter’s accidental death followed by her husband’s death from excessive grief had hit Astrid hard.
Over the years, she had been in low spirits.
So, she aged pretty quickly.
