Chapter 523
Evelyn had always believed that the culprit behind Thalassa’s predicament was none other than Leopold.
Leopold, gasping for breath, stumbled backward. His legs were weak. Continuous blows seemed to have drained him of all strength. His gaze filled with agony; he looked at Thalassa. His throat dry as he asked, “Is this why you refuse to get back together with me?”
Repeated rejections from Thalassa, and the distance between them, all made Leopold heartsick. Adding his mother’s meddling into the mix, he was truly lost.
His mind was filled with memories of the good times with Thalassa.
But the present was causing him so much pain that his heart was engulfed in gloom.
He decided to head to Hollowbrook to clear his mind. He decided to visit Thalassa’s place and to immerse himself in past memories to feel a little better.
However, he hadn’t expected to encounter such a scene upon seeing Thalassa again.

“You’re already involved with Isabella, and you still want to get back together? You think my daughter is desperate?” Evelyn snapped, sounding incensed.
“Mom, stop it. You take the kids inside to rest,” Thalassa quickly interrupted Evelyn before she could continue.
What happened in the past was in the past. Bringing it up again served no purpose.
With a look of anger, Evelyn shot Leopold a glance, took the children’s hands, and headed toward the room.
“Leopold, what brings you here? Your mother has been looking for you everywhere,” Thalassa looked at Leopold, his eyes filled with a gloomy pain that weighed heavily on her heart.
She hadn’t expected things to come to that, but it was inevitable.
Leopold’s breathing trembled. His expression was full of anguish as he struggled to suppress the intense pain in his heart. His voice was hoarse as he asked, “Is that true?”
He was stuck on the previous question.
He wanted to know if she didn’t get back together with him not because she stopped loving him, but because she was trapped by reality. She had no other choice. It was not that she didn’t
want him anymore.
Thalassa had intended to change the subject, but Leopold wasn’t about to let the question go.
His amber eyes trembled slightly. Those eyes were filled with sorrow, suppressing his panic.
Having been together for two years, she knew him well.

She knew what he was expecting
“No.” Thalassa didn’t evade the question, and looked him in the eyes, “I am a mother of four, and I am also myself. I won’t get back together with you because it’s unnecessary. What’s in the past is in the past. I don’t want to hold onto the past, nor do I want to force myself to be with someone I no longer have feelings for.”
Thalassa…” Leopold’s deep voice trembled as he uttered her name, clearly struggling to hold back his tears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had repeatedly given himself a glimmer of hope, only to have it extinguished by her each time.
Leopold’s heart shattered like glass, and each breath he took was agonizingly painful.
“It’s late; you should rest, and go back tomorrow,” Thalassa’s voice was calm as she heard the suppressed sobs in his voice. Hearing him utter her name, her heart ached.
But she couldn’t show it. She had to appear indifferent to make him believe her.
She finished speaking and was about to enter her room when Leopold quickly approached her and grabbed her wrist.
Thalassa turned around and met his reddened eyes..
Thalassa, I know you’re not this heartless. You’re lying, aren’t you?”
“I…” Just as Thalassa was about to speak, the sound of car engines echoed from the outside courtyard. More than one vehicle had arrived.
From the sound of it, a fleet of cars had arrived.
Thalassa’s heart clenched in anxiety.
The next moment, the door was forcefully pushed open, hitting the wall with a loud bang..
