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.


    Thssa 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 rtionship 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.


    Thssa 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, Thssa’s phone rang. It was Evelyn.


    Quickly, she nced at Lysander. “See, my mom’s nagging me to go home again.”


    a low voice, “Pick

    Thssa 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.


    Thssa hung up the call andughed 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.”


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


    Waiting for his reaction.


    Even though she wanted to set boundaries with him, she couldn’t afford to piss him off now.


    He knew where she lived. If he went to her house, everything she had painstakingly hidden would be


    exposed.


    Lysander stared at Thssa, her clear eyes showing nervousness and helplessness.


    She wasn’t interested in the date, making it pointless.


    Without a word, he stood up and left.


    Did he agree?


    Thssa understood his intention and quickly followed.


    As the car moved along the road, the atmosphere inside turned heavy, suffocating almost.


    Thssa sat in the backseat, her breaths careful and cautious, like a scared child.


    Luckily, they soon reached the entrance to Thssa’splex.


    Just as Lysander was about to drive in, Thssa quickly said, “Mr. Sinir, Oh, Lysander, you can stop


    here. I can walk from here.”


    The car stopped, and the doors unlocked.


    Thssa opened the door, and before she left, she thanked Lysander. “Thanks for the ride, be careful


    on the road.”


    She was concerned about him. Lysander felt a bit satisfied.


    He responded lightly, started to reverse the car, and turned around, but didn’t leave immediately.


    A familiar loud voice called out from behind her, “Thssa! You’re finally back. You naughty girl, you


    promised to be back soon. Look how long it’s been!”


    Thssa turned around to see Evelyn striding towards her, a bit surprised.


    Oh no, Lysander’s car hasn’t left yet!
