Chapter 205
In the car Leopold was driving, he took a glance at Lysander in the rearview mirror.
Lysander was leaning back in his seat, eyes closed, trying to catch some z’s.
Out of curiosity, Leopold couldn’t help but ask, “Lysander, what brought you to this neck of the woods?
Something up?”
This place was far from bustling and it was mainly a haunt for the strugglers heading out to make a
living.
Normally, Lysander wouldn’t be caught dead in a place like this.
His lifestyle was more high end, and his usual haunts were business hubs or bustling areas.
“Hmm, Lysander responded with a monosyllabic grunt.
“Work stuff?” Leopold asked again.

He looked beat and not in the mood for chit–chat.
Leopold got the hint, and he didn’t bother him anymore.
After dropping him off at the company, Leopold was about to take off when Lysander suddenly asked,
“What are you heading over there for?”
Leopold was taken aback, realized what he meant, laughed it off, and said, “Work stuff too.”
Lysander encouraged him to win back Thalassa, but he ended up getting the cold shoulder from her.
And boy, did Thalassa shut him down, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
If he spilled the beans to Lysander, he’d probably think Leopold was a total screw–up.
Nonetheless, he was still after Thalassa, he can tell Lysander once he’s won her over.
Lysander didn’t say another word, he just walked into the elevator.
Leopold turned around and left the Sinclair group.

Evelyn stormed in with Elowen and Sophia.
She’d expected to see two people when she opened the door.
But instead, she found Thalassa alone, sitting at the dining table, munching on chips.
“Hey, you’re back.” Thalassa turned her head, greeted them with a gentle smile, then went back to her
chips.
Seeing Thalassa act as if nothing happened, Evelyn got ticked off.
She let go of Elowen and Sophia and stormed through every room, but didn’t find anyone.
She stormed up to Thalassa, hands on her hips, demanding, “Where the hell is he?”
“Who?” Thalassa was clueless.
“The dude!” Evelyn stated it bluntly. “Elowen saw a guy dropping you off.” Evelyn stared her down, not
letting her dodge the question.

Thankfully, she didn’t call her mom at the time, or the cat would’ve been out of the bag and Lysander
would’ve found out that she was his daughter.
Instead of answering Evelyn’s question right away, Thalassa picked up Elowen and gently stroked her
little face. “Our Elowen saw mommy, huh?”
“Mm–hmm, Mommy, I love you the most, I knew it was you right away,” Elowen replied in her sweet
baby voice.
“Thalassa, tell me, was that guy your boss?” Evelyn was adamant.
Thalassa had already experienced her mom’s interrogations and knew she wouldn’t let it go easily.
She replied, “Mom, that’s all water under the bridge; it’s over.”
“What do you mean it’s over? He tells you you’re not good enough for him, then drives you home.
What’s he really after? Is he trying to dodge responsibility?” Evelyn was getting angrier the more she
