Chapter 1267


    Callum snapped back to reality and noticed Evelyn''s furrowed brow, her face etched with worry and


    guilt. His smile returned, easing the tension in the air, "Hey, what are you talking about? You don''t owe


    me an apology. This kind of stuff happens all the time, no biggie."


    "That''s a relief," Evelyn replied, her voice trembling slightly with the weight of her concern.


    No sooner had the words left her mouth than the door burst open. A gust of formidable energy charged


    into the room, tugging at everyone''s nerves.


    Evelyn turned to see Lysander carrying Thssa into the room, his stern face tight with displeasure.


    Evelyn''s heart sank, her voiceced with panic and worry as she uttered, "Thssa..."


    Callum''s gaze darkened upon seeing Lysander''s hold on Thssa, his fist clenching at his side.


    Under the watchful eyes of her mother and Callum, Thssa felt her difort grow, twisting in


    Lysander''s arms. His sharp nce sent a clear message, and she stilled, as if doused in icy water.


    The mere thought of being seen in such apromising position was bearable when it only involved


    strangers, but this was different. Here she was, in front of her mother and Callum, held close by


    Lysander in a manner that was far too intimate.


    Her dignity felt trampled, as if Lysander had ground it into the dirt beneath his leather boots, a burning


    humiliation.


    Lysander''s piercing gaze swept over Evelyn and Callum, his voice low and icy as hemanded, "If


    you know what''s good for you, leave us!"


    His blunt, domineering words left Thssa breathless, her eyes wide with disbelief and fear.


    What was he saying?


    Was he suggesting they leave so he could...? And say it right in front of her mother and Callum?


    Evelyn, cowed by Lysander''s presence, turned pale but managed a weak smile. "Of course, we''ll just


    be going now."


    With her head bowed, Evelyn left the room.


    Lysander''s words had struck a chord in Callum, his breathing bing heavy. Despite the challenging


    re, Callum slowly rose, leaning on his cane, and made his exit.


    Once Callum was out, Evelyn, still under Lysander''s intimidating gaze, shut the door behind her.


    She turned to Callum, her face ashen, "Mr. Gordon, let''s get out of here."

    After all, who would want to stick around and hear the intensity of what might transpire behind that


    door?


    Without another word, she walked away.


    Callum cast onest, lingering nce at the closed door, his eyes clouded with sorrow, before he


    turned away and followed Evelyn.


    He strode over to the nightstand and picked up the phone, dialing the front desk, "Send someone up to


    change the sheets." Read at NovelDrama.Org


    The moment the words left her mouth, Lysander''s icy gaze froze her in ce.


    His eyes burned with anger as they fixed on her. What he heard and what hetched onto was herst


    sentence.
