Chapter 1218
At the outset, Callum had arranged to meet Thalassa at the Fortune Restaurant, ostensibly
to chat about Leopold.
Now, sitting in the Fortune Restaurant for the second time, Leopold remained the
unwelcome topic of their conversation.
Every mention of Leopold sent a pulse of pain through Thalassa’s heart.
Why was Leopold so stubborn and so foolish? Did he really believe that she insisted on
breaking up with him because he wasn’t influential enough?
If she cared about family background or wealth, she wouldn’t have been with him when
she thought he was just an average college guy, oblivious to the fact that he was from a
top-tier family.
For Thalassa, it was never about lineage or power. If she chose someone, their pedigree
meant nothing. And if she hadn’t made up her mind about someone, not even a king could
keep her by his side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer idea of happiness was simple: to love each other, be united, and strive for a shared
humble life.
She had decisively ended things with Leopold because she couldn’t bear the fact that he
had been with another woman, and she herself had been deceived, robbed of her
innocence.
She couldn’t erase the image of Leopold in bed with Isabella Everhart from her mind, nor
could she ignore the despair that came with her own violation.
That night had ensured she and Leopold could never be together again.
Later, she found out she was pregnant and gave birth to quadruplets.
With every passing day, the gap between her and Leopold grew wider.
The problems between them couldn’t be fixed with mere effort. Sadly, she hadn’t told him
soon enough.
Thalassa clenched her hands in her lap, her body taut with discomfort, biting her lip to
hold back the tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
The regret she owed Leopold would haunt her for a lifetime.
Callum noticed her reddened eyes, the shimmer of unshed tears she fought to control.
Seeing her struggle tugged at his heartstrings.
Leopold’s passing was a wound that hadn’t healed for him either. Leopold was his good
friend and his excellent business partner.

He could still remember the thunderous shock, the grief that had enveloped him when he
heard the news, as if the skies above had turned black.
Each mention of Leopold was like a thorn in his side, throbbing with pain.
He believed Thalassa felt the same.
“I didn’t bring all this up to upset you, but to tell you that Debby loved Leopold just as
much as he loved you. When Leopold died, she lost a part of herself. She blames you for

end, which is why she did what she did,” Callum explained with a heavy heart.
Thalassa looked up, pushing back the tears, her eyes red as she tried to steady her voice,
determined not to let it crack.
“Do you want me to plead for Debby?” Thalassa asked, voice quivering despite her best
efforts.
After speaking, she quickly grabbed a tissue to dab away the tears that escaped her
control, apologizing hastily, “Sorry, I lost my composure.”
“It’s okay. If you need to cry, just let it out,” Callum said, his expression solemn, devoid of
any mockery, filled instead with empathy.
If Thalassa showed no emotion when speaking of Leopold, that would have worried Callum
more.
The last thing Thalassa wanted was to be the butt of Callum’s jokes. They had barely
scratched the surface of any serious topics, and there she was, choked up
and
distressed, fearful of being laughed at.
