Chapter 940

Thalassa’s strength was nothing compared to that of the person outside the door, and the door was easily pushed

open.

As Lysander’s tall, dark silhouette entered, a wave of panic washed over Thalassa. His commanding presence

seemed to push her back step by step without him even trying.

“Lysander, I was about to take a shower. Do you need something?” Thalassa asked with a nervous tremor in her

voice.

“I know. I need a shower too,” Lysander replied, his voice deep and resonant, as if it were the most natural thing in

the world. “You go ahead then,” Thalassa said, lowering her gaze, ready to sidestep him and leave the bathroom.

As she tried to pass, Lysander’s hand firmly but gently clamped onto her shoulder, pushing her back until she was

pinned against the wall. His tall frame loomed over her, hands braced on either side of her head, effectively

trapping her between the wall and his imposing presence.

His gaze bore down on her, his voice a low, icy drawl. “What are you running from, huh?”

Thalassa’s breath hitched; her eyes forced to meet his intense stare. Her heartbeat quickened, her voice barely a

whisper, “I’m not running. If I were running, I wouldn’t have come back to Royal Estates.”

Could he have found out something?

Her mind raced, her heart pounding erratically.

If Lysander discovered her urge to flee, all her efforts would be for naught.

“I’m talking about right now,” Lysander said.

Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat, realizing she was thinking too far ahead and feeling utterly guilty, she lowered her

head slightly. “I’m just not comfortable showering with someone else,” she uttered so softly that her words seemed

to dissolve into the air.

A flicker of desire stirred in Lysander as he darkened his gaze, his index finger lifting her chin to force eye contact.

“Nothing you want to say?”

Thalassa gazed into his eyes, deep as the night sky, and felt a sinking feeling in her stomach.

She had too many secrets to share with him, and his probing questions made her wonder that had he discovered

something? Which secret?

Was it the secret that she wasn’t Bruce’s daughter, the one about Evelyn being mistreated by Bruce, or the fact

that she planned to run away with the children?

Any of these discovered by Lysander would spell disaster.

“Say what?” she asked, feigning ignorance and calm in the face of internal chaos.

“Tonight’s incident!” Lysander’s expression turned stone-cold, his aura becoming even frostier.

Thalassa’s heart leapt. Was he not referring to her secrets after all?

With a momentary relief that quickly turned back into tension, she ventured a guess, “Susan wanted to bring you a

drink…” She didn’t know what had happened in the private booth, but she was certain Susan wouldn’t miss the

opportunity to seduce Lysander, given her ambitions.

Whether Lysander had shown Susan any special attention, Thalassa couldn’t be sure.

“She wants to bring a drink, and you let her? Hoping to slip away to chase after your own love story, huh?”

Lysander’s eyes were like ice over a frozen lake, his stare penetrating.

The coldness around him made Thalassa’s teeth chatter.

He must have taken Callum’s words to heart.

Thalassa didn’t understand Callum’s motives, but he had offered to help her escape from Lysander.
