Chapter 423


    Leopold grabbed her hand, holding it firmly. He ced a bracelet on her wrist, his voice adamant, “Put


    this on. It’s a gift. Don’t take it off.”


    Not only was Leopold holding her hand, but he was also holding the bracelet on her wrist, preventing


    her from removing it.


    The gesture seemed intimate, like a couple sharing a tender moment.


    Thssa was about to object when there was a sudden sh of light. She looked up to see a woman


    with a smartphone pointed at them.


    The woman, d in glittering designer outfits, had just snapped a picture of them before lowering her


    phone. It was Charlotte!


    Thssa immediately stood up and walked towards Charlotte, saying sternly, “Delete the picture!”


    Charlotte hid her phone behind her, feigning ignorance, “What picture? I don’t know what you’re talking


    about.”


    Thssa tried to grab the phone, “The picture you just took of us, delete it!”


    Charlotte scoffed and dodged Thssa, “You’re desperate, trying to snatch my phone in public. I told


    you, I didn’t take any picture.”


    Suddenly, her phone was snatched from behind. She turned around only to see Leopold holding her


    phone. She tried to grab it back, but Leopold, being taller, kept it out of her reach.


    “Leopold, what’s this about?” Charlotte fumed, “Are you and Thssa an item? Are you afraid people


    will find out?”


    “Shut up!” Leopold snapped.


    Charlotte might not fear Thssa, but she definitely didn’t dare to mess with Leopold, a member of the


    Sinir family.


    Leopold deleted the picture and tossed the phone back to Charlotte, warning her, “Stay out of my


    business. If I find out you’re causing trouble behind my back, you won’t get away with it.”


    Charlotte caught her phone, her lips curled in anger, “I don’t get what’s so special about Thssa,


    everyone’s protecting her!”


    Then she stomped off in a huff.


    Thssa exhaled in relief, turning to Leopold, “I’m going home. I need to rest.”


    Knowing she had a concussion, Leopold didn’t insist, “I’ll take you home.”

    “No need, I’ll take a taxi.” As she was about to remove the bracelet to return it, Leopold’s sharp voice


    stopped her, “Keep the bracelet on. Don’t take it off. Or else, I’ll take you home.”


    Thssa paused. “You should go eat. I’m leaving.”


    She gave up on removing the bracelet and walked out briskly.


    Everyone seemed to like threatening her.


    They found her weakness and used it against her.


    Thssa was exhausted.


    She hailed a taxi and returned to Vibrant Oasis Residences. Stepping inside, she let out a sigh of relief.


    Opening the door to the nursery, she was greeted with the sweet smell of baby powder. Her tired heart


    instantly filled with energy.


    As she was about to enter, her phone rang again. Irritated, she expected it to be Leopold again and


    was about to hang up when she saw it was Lysander calling!


    Just seeing his name made her heart race.


    She nervously slid her finger to answer, “Hello?”


    “Come down.” The deep male voice on the other endmanded.


    Come down? Was he at her old apartment building?


    Thssa felt a knot of anxiety in her stomach.
