The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 297

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked away.

Back at the café, she found Lysander still sitting there, looking all grand and mighty.

The atmosphere around him was so serious that even the air seemed on edge, causing the people around him to lower their voices.

Thalassa approached him and said, "Lysander, I need to head home. If it's inconvenient for you, I can grab a cab."

In reality, even if Faye didn't mention it, she knew that her current weird relationship with Lysander was a total embarrassment.

Knowing that it wasn't going anywhere, there was no point in wasting each other's time.

Lysander looked up at her, his eyes giving off an intense pressure. "The options I gave you didn't include going home," he stated.

He made it clear that today was their date.

Apparently, she didn't get that.

Thalassa said, "My mom's been bugging me to go home. I really need to go, or she'll start searching for me and bring you trouble."

Just then, Thalassa's phone rang. It was Evelyn.

Quickly, she glanced at Lysander. "See, my mom's nagging me to go home again."

Lysander glanced at the caller ID, confirmed it was Evelyn, his deep eyes fixed on her, and said in a low voice, "Pick it up."

Thalassa froze. What if he took the phone and spoke directly to Evelyn?

She had dodged a bullet this morning when Evelyn didn't mention the child.

That didn't mean she could keep her luck going.

Thalassa hung up the call and laughed it off. "If I answer, she'll definitely yell at me. My mom's voice is so loud, she'll disturb you. I should head home ASAP."

Thalassa finished speaking, looking at Lysander with anticipation and anxiety.
