Chapter 779


    David acknowledged and took the lead.


    Thssa’s eyes widened with a mix of shock and realization as she looked at Lysander.

    That’s right. Her ne had a GPS tracker. Just because she couldn’t find it, didn’t mean Lysander


    couldn’t.


    In her panic, fearing Lysander’s wrath for losing the ne, she hadpletely forgotten about the


    tracker. Lysander could easily locate the ne.


    “It’s just a missing ne. There’s no need to hide it from me. I’m not going to eat you alive,”


    Lysander said as he shifted his gaze to


    her.


    Thssa quickly replied, “I understand.”


    But inside, she was grumbling, ‘If anyone’s going to ‘eat me alive’, it would be you! Every time you lose


    your temper, it’s hell for me.’


    “Have you been avoiding me by not going to the Royal Estates these past few days?” Lysander asked,


    lifting her chin with his index finger to face him.


    If he wasn’t seeking her out, she’d probably keep hiding.


    Did she really think hiding would solve everything?


    Thssa hesitated before exining, “Not at all. My mom hasn’t been welltely. I went home to


    Thssa’s absence from the Royal Estates was partly to avoid Lysander and to allow her worn-out


    body to recover. Plus, her work schedule had been hectic that week so she simply didn’t have the


    energy to deal with Lysander.


    But another part of it was truly about apanying andforting her mother, Evelyn.


    Last time, she had identally injured Bruce’s head. Bruce’s wife, who was caring for him in the


    hospital, somehow found out about Bruce’s rtionship with Evelyn.


    Bruce’s wife had confronted Evelyn several times, hurling insults at her. It took a call to the police to


    resolve the situation.


    As Lysander stared into her clear eyes. Her gaze was a bit rattled but honest. She wasn’t lying.


    Lysander tilted her chin upwards, leaning down to nt a kiss on her lips.


    She felt taut and stiffened as his warm, strong breath brushed against her face.


    But Lysander only kissed her once before pulling away. But they still remained close and mingled their


    breaths.


    His thumb traced her soft lips gently as his low voice rang out, “When you’re with me, you don’t need to


    be on edge all the time.”


    His rough finger caused a tingling sensation on her lips. That felt like an electric current flowing through


    Thssa’s heart. Thssa’s heart fluttered. Her eyshes quivered and her breathing was unsteady,


    “Since you’ve said it, I get it. I’ll stop being nervous.” Not that saying it would make her any less


    nervous. Lysander’s aura, his intimidating presence and his regal demeanor… everything about him


    made the air seem to stagnate. It was hard not to be tense around him.


    But if Lysander said so, she would, of course, agree.


    From her time spent with him, Thssa had learned to go along with Lysander’s wishes to avoid


    trouble.


    If she defied him, not only would she fail to achieve her goal, but she would also make things worse for


    herself.


    Thssa had learned to appease and yield to Lysander so as to see her kids at any time and win


    herself temporary freedom.


    Thssa’spliance pleased Lysander. Her sweet scent that was in his reach and her soft, rosy lips


    in his hand were both stirring his desires.


    His Adam’s apple bobbed as he kissed her lips again.


    Thssa’s pupils dted; her heart pounded faster and she dared not move.


    Oh God, David was still driving while Lysander was kissing her so openly. What if he wanted to do


    more to her?


    Thssa clutched Lysander’s shirt; her eyshes were trembling. She didn’t dare to let her thoughts


    go deeper. Just as Thssa was at her most nervous, the car, which had been moving, suddenly


    stopped.
