Chapter 576
Thalassa bolted upright in shock, “You’ve got it all wrong. I thought I was sleeping with the kids. I didn’t realize it was you…”
As she finished, it dawned on her that she really did go to sleep with her little ones the previous night.
How come she woke up sharing a bed with Lysander that morning?
She masked the alarm in her eyes, looking towards Lysander with a silent question.
Lysander met her gaze, his eyes deep and domineering, as if everything he did was natural, and others could only comply.
Thalassa, initially confident, found her momentum faltering under the scrutiny of his intense gaze.
He threw off the covers and got up.
Thalassa’s breath hitched, and she quickly averted her gaze, afraid of seeing something she shouldn’t have.
Lysander put on his slippers and headed to the bathroom.
Thalassa quickly got up, hurriedly leaving the room as if fleeing for her life. After closing the door, she tried to steady her racing heart.
Lysander’s aura was simply too overwhelming. Those with weak hearts would have probably been scared to death by him.
She went downstairs to find the kids were already up and had been taken to kindergarten by Fitch.
Only Evelyn was sitting in the living room, waiting for her.
After understanding the situation, Thalassa told Evelyn, “Mom, let’s go. We can visit the kids next time.”
She wanted to slip away before Lysander came down. If she waited until Lysander came downstairs, escaping wouldn’t have been so easy.
After all, Lysander hadn’t said she was supposed to live there.
And she had no right to stay there either.
Evelyn, who had gone here for the sake of the children, agreed to leave with Thalassa since the kids were at school. There was no point in staying here, and the pressure was immense.
Thalassa had intended to walk to the bustling streets outside and hail a cab back home.
However, to her surprise, the driver was already waiting in the yard. “Ms. Everhart, Mrs. Pendleton, please get in the car.”
Although Thalassa and Evelyn exchanged a cautious glance, they still got into the car.
If they hadn’t taken the ride, they would have had to walk for an hour to get to a place where they could have hailed a cab.
There was no need to be overly pretentious.
Thalassa and Evelyn got into the car, the driver started the engine, and they drove off.
Was the driver waiting specifically for her and Evelyn? Was that Lysander’s instruction?
Did he know that she was planning to leave in the morning?
Or was he just eager to get her out of Royal Estates to avoid her sticking around?
Thalassa couldn’t figure out the answer and didn’t want to think about it.
Regardless of the reason, the outcome was the same. Even though she had gained the right to visit her children, she and Lysander were from two different worlds, and there could be no overlap.
The driver dropped Thalassa and Evelyn off at Vibrant Oasis Residences and left
Returning to their empty home, Thalassa and Evelyn felt a void that they weren’t used to..
Being a person who couldn’t stand idle, Thalassa started looking for jobs online the moment she had nothing to do.
She contacted a company and went for an interview in the afternoon.
The HR representative who received her was very friendly. After a conversation, she was told to wait for a final interview round with the boss.
If she could have impressed the boss, she would have gotten the job.
As Thalassa waited in the conference room, a young man in a suit and tie walked in. He was tall and handsome with an aura of youthful exuberance.
Looking at the man, Thalassa felt a sense of familiarity.
