Thalassa was genuinely shell-shocked. She knew the place was going to be grand, but the opulence of the decor and furnishings took luxury to a whole new level.
No wonder the price tag was in the millions!
"Thalassa, Lysander really splurged on you this time. I mean, if the guy can drop that kind of dough, why can't he commit to a future with you?" Evelyn mused, still unable to wrap her head around it.
For Thalassa's sake, Lysander had built a mansion in exclusive Hollowbrook, and now he'd gone and purchased this palatial estate in Starhaven.
When it came to spending money, the man was in a league of his own. Yet, when it came to matters of the heart, his wallet might as well have been a steel trap.
"Mom, let's just get our stuff inside," Thalassa said, sidestepping the conversation with an armful of bags. She didn't bother to answer Evelyn directly, expertly changing the subject.
This tired old topic didn't need another go-around.
Evelyn settled into the guest room downstairs while Thalassa claimed a room on the second floor by the staircase.
As Thalassa was organizing her clothes, her phone buzzed with a call.
Seeing Lysander's name on the screen, her nerves instantly tensed. She hadn't even answered yet and already felt the weight of his presence.
She put down the shirt she was folding, wiped off the non-existence dust on her hands, and answered the call.
"Have you settled in?" Lysander's deep, resonant voice held no hint of emotion.
"Yep, just got in," Thalassa replied earnestly.
"Do you like it?" Lysander asked.
There was a pause. Thalassa knew what he wanted to hear. "The place is huge and gorgeous. I mean, it's a villa. Who wouldn't love living here?"
