Chapter 437


    Her gut was telling her it had something to do with Lysander.


    Still, she didn’t know the specifics. And she was itching to find out.


    Her inner gossip girl was on fire.


    “Let me tell you something, I almost lost my life to Lysanderst night.” Thssa was feeling down and


    was d to have someone to vent to.


    “What? You guys had a wild night, huh?” Hertha sounded surprised, but there was a hint of teasing in


    her voice.


    Realizing the implication, Thssa’s face turned a deep shade of red.


    “Hertha, can you behave yourself?” she said, flustered.


    “What? Did I misunderstand your words just now?”


    Even through the phone, Thssa could imagine Herthaughing uncontrobly.


    “If you continue to insinuate, I’m going to hang up,” Thssa warned, her ears burning.


    “Alright, alright, don’t hang up. I’m on my way to your ce, Hertha quickly sobered up and said in a


    serious tone.


    “Aren’t you at work?” Thssa asked, concerned.


    “I didn’t sleep wellst night, so I took the day off,” Hertha replied.


    “Didn’t sleep well? Did something happen with ric?” Thssa began, but Hertha cut her off.


    “I wish! I was up worrying about you after your call. I couldn’t sleep,” Hertha admitted, not at all shy


    about her feelings for ric.


    She had fallen for him at first sight.


    Unfortunately, he didn’t feel the same about her.


    Feeling guilty, Thssa offered, “I’m sorry, Hertha. Let me treat you to lunch today.”


    Despite the fact that Lysander had found out about her meeting with Leopold, she was grateful for


    Hertha’s timely assistance.

    “I won’t settle for just pasta. At least treat me to a barbecue,” Hertha said, not holding back.


    Order whatever you want,” Thssa chirped.


    Suddenly, the gloom that had been hanging over her head lifted. She felt like a cloud had been parted,


    revealing a beautiful moon. Life was so beautiful.


    She had such a loving friend, a lovely baby, and a mother who adored her. Life was full of color and joy,


    even if there were asional clouds.


    Soon, Hertha arrived at her ce.


    Upon seeing her, Thssa rushed over, hugging her like a wounded kitten seekingfort. “Oh,


    Hertha, you won’t believe what I went throughst night. It was like, a roller coaster ride, full of ups and


    downs. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. And in the end, Lysander still figured everything


    out.”


    “There, there, darling. Don’t be sad. Tell me everything that happened,” Herthaforted her, patting


    her on the back and leading her to the couch, ready to listen


    Thssa told her everything that had happened the night before.


    She had been threatened by Leopold to go to a restaurant, and he had even given her a bracelet.


    Lysander had called her as soon as she got home, asking her to meet him.


    He knew she hadn’te from upstairs when she arrived at their old apartmentplex. His icy gaze


    made her shiver as if he wanted to rip her to pieces.


    And then, he almost found out about her dinner with Leopold. She thought she had sessfully lied,


    but Lysander still figured it out.


    He seemed omniscient, which scared Thssa. She worried that the secret about her baby wouldn’t


    stay hidden for long.


    But Hertha’s focus was somewhere else altogether. “And then? Lysander found out about your date


    with Leopold and got angry. What happened next? What did you guys do?”


    Hertha’s round eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at Thssa.


    Thssa was initially worried, but Hertha’s words caused her face to turn bright red. Stop it, Hertha!


    Where is your focus? I’m trying to discuss our strategy here.*


    “Ha, I haven’t even said anything, and you’re blushing. Did Lysander go all alpha male on youst


    night?” Hertha folded her arms,ughing uncontrobly at Thssa’s yful punches.
