The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 810

Evelyn quickly caught on to Thalassa's hint and did not pursue the topic further.

"I'll go whip up some meal. Lysander, you should stay and have a bite to eat before you go," Evelyn suggested, swiftly changing the subject.

Without waiting for Lysander's reply, she turned on her heel and made her way toward the kitchen.

She was intimidated by Lysander's inherent authority. Even saying a single sentence to him seemed to throw her off balance. Fearful of rejection, she chose to retreat to the kitchen instead.

Thalassa turned to look at Lysander, meeting his deep-set eyes. His gaze was so intense it made her heart flutter uncontrollably.

She quickly averted her gaze and said, "You sit and rest for a while. I'll sweep up. There's a lot of debris around. Don't want you to step on something and hurt your foot."

She picked up the broom and continued her task.

Even with her back turned to him, she could feel the weight of his penetrating gaze on the back of her neck.

Thalassa appeared calm as she swept, but inside, she was a bundle of nerves.

She was worried about what Evelyn had said earlier, afraid it might have angered Lysander. His gaze made her feel like danger was lingering in the air.

She had no idea when it would explode and was at a loss.

She pressed on, sweeping the floor while enduring the feeling of a dagger at her back.

Suddenly, Lysander stood up, causing a ripple in the peaceful atmosphere.

Thalassa sensed it instantly and straightened up, her eyes darting towards him, not wanting to appear disrespectful.

"I'm leaving. I'll come to pick you up in the afternoon the day after tomorrow," Lysander told her before striding out.

Thalassa followed him to the door, watching as he descended the stairs. Only then did she return to her house.
