Chapter 69
She’d thank her lucky stars if a decent man was willing to marry her daughter.
She didn’t expect her daughter to hit the jackpot overnight, she was just hoping for someone who’d treat her right so they could lead a normal life together
Isabella didn’t 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 didn’t bump into the four kids, all was well.
Now that Lysander had left Hollowbrook, she didn’t 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 Thalassa’s place.
When they built their house. Thalassa was away, working outside while being pregnant, only to come back and find Isabella’s 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 couldn’t just tear down Isabella’s house.
Thalassa felt a knot in her stomach when she saw Isabella strut around so arrogantly
“Astrid, come with us to Starhaven tomorrow, I ve rented a two bedroom flat there, there’s enough space for all of us. Thalassa held Astrid’s 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, wouldn’t it be even colder for Astrid?
“But wouldn’t that be a brother? Astrid was afraid to impose on Thalassa
Evelyn was a tough cookie. but she had a good heart. What’s the bother? You’d be there to chit-chat with me. Its lonely and tiring to look after four kids alone. There’s nothing wrong with it. Tomorrow, you’re coming with us,
She also noticed Astrid had been living here alone in a poor environment.
Especially after Isabella’s house was built, their house was rarely bathed in sunlight. Astrid’s health was deteriorating.
Astrid was a few years younger than Evelyn, yet she looked older.
After seeing Evelyns determination, Astrid didn’t 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 Thalassa’s house.”
David was taken aback, “Mr. Sinclair, are you sure?”
“Yes.” Lysander confirmed.
Did Thalassa upset Mr. Sinclair? David wondered.
Didn’t Mr. Sinclair come all the way to Hollowbrook specifically to see Thalassa?
Didn’t 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, “Build a skyscraper for her Remember, it has to be taller than the house behind hers.”
David instantly cheered up. “Sure thing”
Seemed like he was worrying too much. David’s 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 Celia’s home, where Celia’s mother was living. He wanted to make the environment better.
He was planning to go see Celia’s mother, ask for her opinion, and arrange a suitable place for her.
But Thalassa was just too much. He didn’t want to stay any longer, but the arrangement for Celia’s mother couldn’t wait
The next day. Thalassa’s family packed their bags and left for Starhaven
What Thalassa didn’t know was that not long after they left, David’s construction crew came to Hollowbrook and demolished their house.
