Chapter 1628
Hertha’s eyes widened in disbelief, her hand fumbling to catch the wine bottle slipping through her fingers. She placed it on the table, took a gulp of cold water, and leaned closer to Thalassa with an expression of sheer astonishment, as if she had just discovered a new continent. “Wait, what did you just say? Lysander confessed his feelings to you?”
She dug her finger into her ear, as though clearing it out: “Did I hear that right?”
Thalassa, sipping from her wine glass once again, nodded, “You heard it right.”
“Holy cow, what did he say? Did he go all, ‘I love you’?” Hertha asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
Thinking of Lysander’s aloof and detached demeanor, as if he regarded everyone and everything with a chill as cold as ice, and his strikingly handsome face that could make the gods jealous. And there he was, in his lofty pride, standing at the apex of society.
The very idea that a man so unique in the world had told Thalassa “I love you”!
Hertha felt a rush of excitement on Thalassa’s behalf. If it had been her, she probably would’ve been so thrilled she’d freeze up, her heart racing, maybe even faint on the spot. Ads by PubFuture
It was the kind of scenario every woman dreamed of but hardly ever experienced.
And yet, this incredible stroke of luck had happened to her best friend, Thalassa. How could she not be thrilled?
Thalassa caught Hertha’s gaze, her eyes wide as saucers, glittering with curiosity and not wanting to miss a single detail.
Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh. Was Hertha overreacting?
“He didn’t say ‘I love you,’ but the message was clear-he likes me, wants to be with me.”
“He wants to be with you? What did you say?” Hertha was shocked again. For someone like Lysander to express a desire to be with someone was
rare.
But he had said it to Thalassa, which meant something significant. It was shocking proof that Lysander was serious about Thalassa.
Thalassa admitted, “I was so stunned, I couldn’t even respond.” Ads by PubFuture
Hertha nodded understandingly,

“Makes sense. After all, being around Lysander with his overwhelming presence, it takes lot of courage just to breathe, let alone respond to such heart-stirring words. I remember freezing up when Alaric confessed to me, too.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Suddenly, Hertha paused, a thought striking her, Wait a minute, didn’t Lysander initially push you away? And he even said he intended to be with Rosalind, considering you a thor in her side. How did things change so quickly?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Hertha had been fuming when Thalassa first shared those bits, mentally cursing Lysander up and down.
And now, she was all ears for Thalassa’s update.
Thalassa put her wine glass down, ready to clarify things for Hertha.
It turned out to be a
misunderstanding orchestrated by Zephyr in Lysander’s name. Lysander had been clueless about it. Moreover, his supposed rejection was a ruse to save her from Susan’s clutches, not a wish for her demise. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Hertha’s eyes lit up with realization, “So that’s what happened. It sounds like Lysander did have you in his heart after all.”
“And the kicker,” Thalassa continued, her mood dipping, “he even asked me if I loved him.”
