Chapter 571
As Thalassa turned; her eyes met Lysander’s piercing gaze, profound and unfathomable.
Her heart fluttered involuntarily, and she quickly averted her eyes.
She had been crouching to accommodate the children’s height and was trying to stand up to check their rooms.
But her legs had grown numb from crouching, and as she tried to rise, her feet gave way, sending her falling backward.
A robust and muscular arm caught her, bearing the full brunt of her weight.
With a mere flex of his biceps, Lysander steadied her, his strength evident in the ease of his action.
Thalassa felt the warmth of his palm and the undeniable strength he possessed. Flustered, she quickly stepped away once she regained her balance, avoiding his gaze. “I’m going to check over there,” she muttered hurriedly.
She paced quickly towards the children.
After inspecting the children’s rooms, Thalassa felt a mix of warmth and a tinge of regret.

Finally, the children could have their own rooms, and they were very cozy and comfortable.
She was happy for them.
But it reminded her of how she, as their mother, failed to provide such comfort.
Seeing the children settling down in the Royal Estates, Thalassa felt somewhat relieved.
At least Lysander hadn’t sent the children to the Sinclair’s house for Zephyr and Sybil to take over completely.
At least he kept his children close to him.
At meal time in the afternoon.
The four children were seated opposite Thalassa and Lysander.
Lysander didn’t invite Evelyn to sit down. Thalassa glanced at Evelyn, who was standing on one side. She wanted to ask her to join them but didn’t dare to. After all, that was Lysander’s house, and she was here at his mercy.
If Lysander didn’t invite Evelyn to sit, who was she to do so?
But Evelyn was her mother, and Thalassa couldn’t bear to eat while her mother just stood there.
Just as Thalassa was about to rise, Lysander’s deep voice rang out, “Fitch, we’re missing a place setting; didn’t you notice?”
Fitch was taken aback momentarily, but after glancing at Evelyn, he quickly understood. Apologetically, he said, “I apologize for my oversight. I’ll get it right away…”

Soon, a place setting and a chair were added to the narrower end of the rectangular table.

She called and motioned towards the new place setting with her eyes.
Evelyn was taken aback, hardly believing that the seat was meant for her.
She could sit down and share a meal with Lysander?
It was something she hadn’t even dared to dream about.
Lysander had an imposing aura, an air of nobility that was not to be violated.
Besides, Evelyn knew that she had sold Lysander’s dragon pendant, and the money had been swindled away, which made her feel guilty.
She didn’t dare to speak more or look more at Lysander.
She was then told that she could sit with him and share a meal?
She felt surprised, panicked, and at a loss.
But since Thalassa had signaled her, if she didn’t sit down, she might have upset Lysander, which wouldn’t have been good,
Evelyn took her seat. Her entire body was stiff with tension.
“Mom, try the fried chicken, it’s yummy.” Elowen used her child-sized fork to pick up a piece of fried chicken, kneeling on her chair. Her tiny hand reached out to Thalassa.
