Chapter 1299 Zephyr cast a restrained glance at Ethan and quipped, “Mr. Ethan, you’re not busy these days? Got time to hang around here?”
Now Ethan saw the potent sting of being wrongfully accused. He felt a connection to Thalassa’s grievances, which was the bitter taste of being unjustly cornered.
Ethan replied professionally, “Susan’s a model working for our partner. She’s shooting a commercial for our latest smartphone line. Checking in on her is part of my job.”
“Then carry on,” Zephyr said dismissively and turned to Lysander, “Let's go, Lysander.”
Beyond a fleeting glance at Thalassa and Ethan’s intertwined hands when he first entered the room, Zephyr hadn’t looked Thalassa’s way again.
He led the way out of the ward.
Lysander’s dark eyes bore into Thalassa. Since his arrival, she hadn’t uttered a word to him, nor had she offered any explanations. She even seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
The atmosphere around Lysander grew so cold it seemed to seep into the very walls of the room. Even a single explanation would have eased his mind.
But Thalassa just remained silent. When Susan accused her of harboring resentment for ruining a potentially good thing and seeking revenge, Thalassa offered no rebuttal.
Lysander felt a pang of disappointment. Not because he believed Susan’s words, but because of Thalassa’s refusal to defend herself.
She was still plotting to distance herself from him, to sever their ties completely! “Aren't you coming?” Lysander broke the silence first, his voice a low, magnetic Under the pressure of his presence, Thalassa’s gaze finally met his.
Locking eyes with him, her resolve crumbled. No matter the grudges she held, his m words could topple the defenses she had painstakingly erected.
“Of course, I’m coming. Who said | wasn’t?” Thalassa shot back, her brief resistance giving way.
Overhearing their exchange, Zephyr halted and turned back, eyeing Lysander sternly, “What’s the matter? Grandma’s not around and now you're not coming home?”
Lysander glanced sideways at Zephyr and said, “I'll head back with you.”
With that, he strode off towards Zephyr. Thalassa stood at the doorway of the ward, watching Lysander’s retreating figure. As he grew more distant, her heart felt as if it was being submerged by the sea, bringing a sour and aching pain.
Ever since Lysander brought her into his home, knowing she was the woman from five years ago, and Zephyr made his disdain for her background clear, Lysander had always sided with Zephyr. Visit NovelDrama.Org to read the latest chapter of this novel
His attitude had made his choice clear.
*Still mooning over him, huh? Didn't you hear Zephyr mention Lysander’s going to marry someone else? Dreaming of being his wife, how delusional of you,” Susan’s mocking voice cut through the air, dripping with scorn. Visit NovelDrama.Org to read the latest chapter of this novel
Zephyr had just rejected her suggestion to stay by Lysander’s side, even hinting that Lysander’s future wife would be upset. Visit NovelDrama.Org to read the latest chapter of this novel
It was a clear message to her. Lysander had a new woman in his life, and she was going to be the one to marry him.
