Chapter 1274


    Her face was pressed against Lysander''s chest, his shirt still on from the day before, carrying the


    rugged scent of his masculinity and the warmth of his body.


    As Thssa breathed in, the scent filled her nostrils and her heart fluttered back to wakefulness.


    She held her breath, gently pushing away the arms Lysander had wrapped around her, and carefully


    got out of bed, trying not to wake him.


    After freshening up in the bathroom with a quick brush of her teeth and a ssh of water on her face,


    Thssa was ready to slip out of the room quietly. But when she looked back at the bed, she saw


    Lysander''s eyes wide open, observing her.


    Caught off guard, she offered a coy smile. "You''re up early."


    "Not as early as you," Lysander replied, sitting up and stretching his long legs as he walked towards


    her.


    His intense presence drew nearer, and Thssa stepped back instinctively.


    "What''s for breakfast?" he asked, stopping half a step away from her, his gaze lowered towards her.


    "No idea," she shrugged.


    "What do you feel like eating?" his voice was a low rumble.


    "I haven''t decided yet. I was thinking of checking in on my mom first to see what she''s up for," Thssa


    lifted her eyes to meet his gaze.

    Lysander held her stare silently.


    Her heart pounded as if it were trying to escape her chest, and just when she thought he might object,


    his deep voice granted permission, "Go ahead."


    Thssa''s eyes lit up with surprise. She nced at his handsome face, certain he meant it, and quickly


    turned to leave.


    As she watched her retreat, Lysander headed to the bathroom to freshen up himself.


    Stepping out of the room, Thssa realized she had no idea where Evelyn was staying.


    Her intention had been to find her mother the night before, but Lysander''s embrace had lulled her to


    sleep before she could.


    She had slept right through to the morning, oblivious to where Evelyn had ended upst night.


    Pulling out her phone, Thssa dialed Evelyn''s number.


    It was picked up quickly, and Evelyn''s voice came through, "Thssa, finally remembering your


    mother, huh?"


    The words made Thssa feel a twinge of guilt.


    "Mom, where are you?" she asked, concerncing her voice.


    "I''m down in the hotel diner. Come on down for breakfast and refuel yourself," Evelyn said before


    hanging up.


    With a flushed face, Thssa pocketed her phone and took the elevator to the ground floor, not giving


    another thought to Lysander.


    He probably didn''t need her to fuss over him. If he wanted breakfast, he''d have a hundred ways to sort


    it out without her worrying.


    As she approached, both Evelyn and Callum looked up at her. Content of Drаm??ovels.cоm


    Callum''s usual gentle smile and easygoing demeanor were a wee sight.


    "What brings you here alone? Where''s him?" Evelyn nced behind Thssa, curious.


    "He didn''te," Thssa replied.
