Chapter 524
The tall, impeccably dressed man in a bespoke suit, exuding an air of solemn grandeur, appeared at the doorway.
Silhouetted against the light, his tall figure cast long, ominous shadows.
His extraordinarily handsome, cold, and icy face was illuminated, making his features even sharper.
His eyes were sharp and cold, emitting an aura of severity, as they shifted from Thalassa’s frightened face to her hand.
At that moment, Leopold was still holding her hand, and their postures were suggestive of an intimate relationship.
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat; her heart pounded wildly, and she quickly withdrew her hand from Leopold’s.
She took a step back, stumbling into the wall. Her eyes were wide with fear as she gazed at Lysander.
She thought for a moment, “He caught up so quickly?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeopold, a pained look in his eyes, was taken aback by Lysander’s sudden appearance. “Lysander?” he gasped.
Lysander walked in. His presence was commanding and intimidating. The wind that his movements stirred was chilling and daunting.
He advanced menacingly towards Thalassa.
Thalassa sensed the danger, and her overwhelming panic made it hard for her to breathe. Instinctively, she turned to run.
But a sudden tightening around her neck made her gasp for breath.
The next instant, she was pulled harshly against the man’s side. His large hand gripped her face tightly. “Run. Why don’t you run?” he taunted.
The cold, icy light reflected in his eyes pierced her like a frozen blade, chilling her to the bone.
Fear was clearly etched in Thalassa’s eyes. “Lysander, can you calm down?” she pleaded.
Her words held a hint of begging.
“Calm down? Let you run away with him while carrying my children?” Lysander spat out through gritted teeth.
How dare she play him, toy with him, and plan to elope with another man, all while carrying his children?
She was the first woman to ever do that!
He was livid!
She had always claimed that she had no relationship with Leopold. She said that she would never elope with him. Yet, her actions suggested she was planning to run away with Leopold.
She had asked Leopold to wait for her in Hollowbrook, and then she brought the children to meet him. Was their next step to run away together?
Women, they were cunning and scheming!!
At Lysander’s words, Thalassa’s face paled. Her entire body went numb, and her mind went blank. She was in a state of alarm and fear.
He knew that the children was his.
What was he going to do next?
Take the child away?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThalassa’s heart felt hollow, and her panic was palpable. She clutched his hand. Her voice softened as she pleaded, “It’s not what you think. I came home and found Leopold here. I didn’t know in advance. The children are indeed yours, but they are also mine. I can’t live without them, and they can’t live without me.”
Hearing Thalassa admit that the children were Lysander’s, Leopold felt as if he had been dealt a heavy blow.
His heart ached so much that he found it difficult to breathe.
“Is that so? They can’t live without you? We’ll see about that!” Lysander released her chin. His cold gaze scanned the room, seemingly looking for the children.
At that moment, Evelyn, hearing the commotion, came out of her room. “What’s going on? Are you two arguing?”
Her words trailed off as she noticed the intimidating man in the room. His aura was domineering and menacing.
Evelyn stopped talking, and looked at the man in shock. There was a sense of dread rising from within her,
That was really bad. The debt collector had come knocking on her door.
Was he here to trouble her? Was he here to ask for repayment?
Evelyn’s face was filled with panic and helplessness
“Grandma, Mom, why aren’t you coming to bed?”
“Mom, Grandma, it’s bedtime.”
“Mom!”
“Grandma,”
