Chapter 626
Zephyr just finished taking care of Grandma Sybil’s body.
His expression was sorrowful. His once tall and majestic figure seemed to have aged overnight. He looked more like a frail old man, burdered by grief.
His eyes, clouded with pain, fell on Thalassa, who was seated on the couch. A flash of anger crossed his face, but he managed to suppress it, given the presence of his kids. He approached them, his expression stern.
He addressed Lysander, “Lysander, take the kids out to the yard for a while. I need to talk to Ms. Everhart alone.”
Lysander’s deep gaze lingered on Thalassa for a moment. He carried Elowen in one arm while reaching out to hold her hand with the other, “I’ll take you guys to play some catch in the yard.”
Elowen quickly pulled her hand away, diving into Thalassa’s arms, “I don’t want to play catch. I want to be with Mom.”
Her father had just yelled at her mother, and it scared her.

She didn’t want her dad. She wanted her mom.
Dorian and Atticus stood close to Thalassa, unwilling to leave. Not only were they clinging to Thalassa, but they were also trying to protect her, to defend her.
Sophia, held in Lysander’s arms, was so scared she couldn’t move or even cry.
Thalassa felt the children’s fear and lack of security.
It brought tears to her eyes. She was so useless that not only could she not protect her children, but her children had to protect her. They also had to worry for her.
She gave the children a gentle, loving smile, “You go play with your dad first. Mom needs to talk to your great-grandpa for a bit. I’ll come play with you soon, okay?”
“But, talking is scary. Great-grandma and Evelyn talked, and they were taken away. I don’t want mom to be taken away,” Elowen clung to Thalassa tightly.
Thalassa could feel Elowen’s fear, as if the moment she let go, she would have been in danger.
Thalassa felt both heartbroken and warmed. She stroked Elowen’s head, “That won’t happen. Mom promises to come play with you in a bit, okay?”
Atticus was the first to stand, heading outside.
Every time their mother wanted them to behave, she would say “okay,” showing that she really hoped they would do as she said.
Atticus wanted to be a child who could make his mother feel at ease. He didn’t want her to worry.

Seeing Atticus leave, Dorian followed.
Elowen, seeing her brothers leaving, reluctantly let go of Thalassa’s hand, “See you in a bit, Mom.”
“See you in a bit.”
The little girl climbed down from the couch and followed her brothers out.
Lysander’s deep gaze swept over Thalassa before he left with Sophia.
Once the children were gone, Zephyr’s face instantly turned stern. His eyes fixed on Thalassa, “You wanted evidence, right? Robert, come out and tell her what happened!”
Robert, the servant, stepped forward with his head bowed, nervously saying, “I was cleaning downstairs today, and I accidentally overheard the conversation between Evelyn and Sybil.”
Thalassa turned to look at Robert.
Robert continued, “Evelyn said that her daughter had given birth to four children for Lysander. Logically, Lysander should marry her daughter. Otherwise, the children would be motherless. There’s an old saying, ‘A stepmother never loves the children.’ If Lysander marries a stepmother for the children, it’s the children who will suffer.”
Upon hearing Robert’s words, Thalassa’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Indeed, that sounded like something Evelyn would say.
