Chapter 934


    Thssa''s brow furrowed, puzzled by what Callum meant.


    Leopold''s intention? What intention could he possibly have?


    Before Thssa could voice her confusion, Callum fixed his gaze on her and continued, "If you''re


    looking to break free from Lysander, I can help you. Whenever you’re in a jam, hit me up. We can team


    up, coborating from within and without."


    A jolt of surprise shot through Thssa, her eyes widening in astonishment.


    How did he know she was nning to escape from Lysander?


    It was a thought she had kept to herself, not breathed a word to anyone. Was she really that


    transparent?


    Seeing her shocked expression, Callum realized he had startled her and exined, "Getting a woman


    who can catch Lysander''s eye, to upy his time, now that''s a cunning n."


    Just moments before at the entrance of the booth, Callum had run into Susan. d in a daring,


    revealing dress, she was holding the bottle of red wine that was originally meant to be delivered by


    Thssa, greeting him with a polite smile.


    He saw right through her – the woman was clearly aiming for Lysander.


    It must have been Thssa who sent her; otherwise, how could she have gotten her hands on Ethan''s


    private stash from the bar?


    Suddenly, it clicked for Thssa. Callum must have thought that she had deliberately sent Susan in to


    lure Lysander away.


    Thssa asked, "What did you mean earlier by ''Leopold''s intention''?"


    Callum met her tense, questioning eyes, paused for a brief two seconds, then looked away, "It''s


    nothing, really. I just wanted you to know that if you''re in trouble, you can count on me. I''ll be there to


    help."


    She could see hesitation in Callum''s eyes, a sign he was hiding something from her, but she couldn''t


    guess what it was.


    He didn''t want to talk, and she felt it wasn''t her ce to pry.


    "Leopold is lucky to have a friend like you," Thssa said, acknowledging that Callum truly had


    Leopold''s best interests at heart.


    Callum turned to look at her and noticed a green bug had fallen onto her head.


    They were sitting under arge tree, and it wasn''t unusual for a bug or two to drop down from the


    branches.


    "Don''t move, you''ve got a green bug on your head. Let me get it off for you," Callum said.


    "A bug?" Thssa eximed, her expression tensing up. She was terrified of bugs.


    Though she hadn''t actually seen the bug, the mere mention of its color was enough to conjure up an


    image in her mind of the creature crawling around her head, making her skin crawl with revulsion.


    "Please, get it off," Thssa implored, leaning her head towards Callum, desperate to get rid of the


    unwanted guest atop her head.


    As Callum leaned in, carefully removing the bug that was trailing a fine silk thread from its mouth,


    Thssa tilted her head down slightly, bringing her face closer to his.


    From a distance, it looked as if Callum was nting a kiss on Thssa''s forehead, and she had


    willingly moved her face towards his.


    Lysander emerged from the bar just in time to witness this scene.


    In an instant, his demeanor turned icy, and his piercing gaze frosted over as he strode towards


    Thssa.


    Callum had just plucked the bug off when Thssa was about to pull away, but she suddenly felt a


    chilling presence enveloping her, the air growing thin and hard to breathe.


    With a start, Thssa turned around and saw the imposing, frosty figure of Lysander approaching.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
