Lysander had kicked her out of Sinclair Manor the moment he woke up, and now he was inviting her back? Wasn't this skind of twisted joke? She was not skind of servant to be summoned and dismissed at will.
Besides, it was Rosalind who was now taking care of Lysander, probably living at Sinclair Manor too.

Sinclair Manor isn't just hto one woman," Lysander said, turning his head away to look straight ahead. David immediately caught Lysander's cue, pushing him forward.
Taking a deep breath, Thalassa watched Lysander's retreating figure, her refusal clearly unsuccessful. His words lingered; Sinclair Manor housed other women too, obviously referring to Rosalind.
