NovelOnlineChapter 1319 Evelyn settled into the car seat, her heart pounding as David turned the ignition and the vehicle smoothly transitioned onto the asphalt She stole a glance at Lysander’s intimidating profile, hesitating for what seemed like an eternity, unsure how to broach the topic.
Lysander was an imposing man, his mere presence enough to instill panic, even when he uttered not a single word.
No wonder Thalassa couldn't escape his grasp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt took every ounce of courage for Evelyn to finally speak up. “Lysander, | chere to tell you a truth. Thalassa isn’t Bruce's daughter.” Those words seemed to suck the air out of the car, dropping the temperature several notches.
She paused, too afraid to continue, waiting for Lysander’s response.
Suddenly, the car jerked to a stop; David had slammed on the brakes.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Sinclair.” he apologized promptly, his attention having lapsed at the revelation, missing the traffic light ahead.
Lysander’'s handsface was a mask of tension, his mood as foreboding as the calm before a blizzard.
His eyes shimmered with an icy glow.
“What did you say?” Lysander’s voice was a cold whisper, tinged with barely perceptible agitation.
David knew better than to speak. He knew the question [x] meant for Evelyn in the backseat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe shivered under Lysander’s chilly aura and stammered, “I... | was with Bruce years ago, but when | discovered his infidelities, | left him without a second thought.” Evelyn paused, trying to read Lysander’s reaction. His chiseled profile gave away nothing but seemed to radiate a frost that could freeze the very air around them.
With trepidation, she continued, “After we split, | was so angry, | went out drinking with my best friend. | got so drunk that sguy tookhome, and by the t| woke up... we'd slept together. Thalassa was conceived that night. She's that man’s daughter, not Bruce's.” “I didn’t tell you before because | was ashamed of my mistake, afraid Thalassa would blme. But two months ago, she found out she wasn’t Bruce's child herself. It was when Bruce needed a blood transfusion after an injury, and Thalassa was ready to 1/2 09:46 2/2 Chapter 1319 donate, but their blood types didn’t match. That's when she realized Bruce couldn't be her father.” Evelyn could feel the tension escalating in the car.
With the car back in motion, David drove with utmost care, not daring to make another mistake.
Evelyn's heart pounded against her ribcage, but she had made up her mind to reveal the truth to Lysander and was determined to see it through.
“I asked her why she didn’t tell you. She said she tried, but she realized your hold over her wasn’t just about your hatred for Bruce. If you thought she was Bruce’s daughter, you might let her go. But if you knew she wasn’t, you'd never despise her, and her chances of escaping you would be even slimmer.” Evelyn laid out everything, her voice trembling with the weight of her confession.
Now that Bruce was behind bars, Evelyn feared Thalassa would suffer because of him.
She had to make it clear to Lysander that Thalassa was not related to Bruce in any way.
When she finished, the chill inside the car was palpable, as if the season had shifted from a sultry summer to a frigid winter in an instant, leaving a trail of goosebumps on everyone's skin.
