Chapter 661
“What are the benefits besides giving the kids a complete home?” Lysander’s deep voice broke the silence.
Thalassa, her heart aflutter from his gaze, managed to reply. “You wouldn’t need to find a wife anymore, and I wouldn’t be homeless. It’s a win-win situation. Isn’t it just like being roommates?”
Roommates?
A cold glint flashed in Lysander’s deep-set eyes.
The air around him turned icy, and his facial features tightened.
“You still haven’t grasped your position. Any woman can covet the position of Mrs. Sinclair, except you.” He coldly retorted.
Thalassa’s hopeful gaze collapsed in an instant. Her heart felt heavy, as if it were weighed down by a stone.
After a brief moment of disappointment, she laughed it off. “I see. Forgive me for not understanding your mind, Mr. Sinclair. I can’t seem to please you. Let’s sleep; I have work tomorrow.”
No sooner had she lain down than she was pulled towards him. Thalassa couldn’t help but yelp in surprise.
The next moment, Lysander flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.
“You’re wrong. You can please me.”
“Wha… Mmm…” Thalassa, startled, was silenced by a sudden kiss. Her breath was completely stolen away.
The shadows of the trees outside their windows danced in the flickering room light.
In the morning, sunlight streamed in through the curtains, illuminating Thalassa’s face and making her fair, oval face glow like a peeled egg.
The warmth of the sunlight roused Thalassa. She raised her hand to shield her eyes as her beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She then opened and closed her eyes to adjust to the light.
When she fully adjusted, she turned to see the other side of the bed empty.
Lysander had already gotten up.
The images from last night flashed through her mind, causing Thalassa to sit up abruptly.
The covers slid off her, revealing the marks on her skin. Thalassa gasped, quickly pulling up the covers to hide her shame
She got out of bed, looking a complete mess, and headed to the bathroom. After taking a shower and dressing, she went downstairs.
The breakfast table was set, but there was no one around.
Fitch came over and said, “Ms. Everhart, breakfast is ready.”
Thalassa asked, “Where are the kids?”
“They got up early. They wanted to go upstairs to find you, but when they heard that you and Lysander were still sleeping, they ate their breakfast quietly and went to school.” Fitch reported with a smile on his face.
His affection for the children was evident.
Since the four little ones moved into the Royal Estates, there had been much more joy and laughter around.
Fitch even felt like time flew by faster while at work.
Thalassa felt slightly embarrassed. The kids, who usually didn’t care about the situation or timing, had now started to consciously avoid disturbing her and Lysander in the morning.
Feeling a little awkward, she thanked Fitch and quickly finished her breakfast.
After breakfast, she followed Fitch outside, where a driver was waiting to take her to work.
Thanks to the Royal Estates’ driver, she wasn’t late for work.
She arrived at the secretary’s office just in time for her shift at nine o’clock.
Luckily, she hadn’t been late, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thalassa, you’ve had breakfast, right?” Betty approached her,
Thalassa nodded. “Yes, I have.”
“Get ready. We’re going to Leossa Tech with Mr. Ethan to deliver the mobile phone production materials.” Betty paused, then added curiously, “Strange. Didn’t you fail to secure a deal with the Sinclair Group? Why did Leossa Tech, a subsidiary of the Sinclair Group, accept our order?”
