Chapter 1283


    Yesterday, the hotel staff werepliant when Lysander rang them up, requesting a change of bed


    sheets.


    So why was it that today she got the cold shoulder when she made the call?


    “It was different yesterday,” the front desk clerk replied in a tone that was as dry as overcooked turkey.


    "How is it any different?" Thssa pressed on, her frustration simmering.


    “Because yesterday…” the clerk started before biting her tongue, letting out a sigh that could dete a


    parade balloon, “Alright, fine. We’ll change the sheets for you this time. But do us a favor and try not to


    douse them then, okay?”


    “This is lousy service! We’re checking out. We won’t stay at this ce any longer,” Thssa fumed,


    feeling the tant disparity in treatment.


    The front desk had some kind of favoritism going on. Yesterday, Lysander called and the clerk was all


    over it like white on rice, with the staff showing up to change the sheets in a heartbeat.


    But today, they treated her like she was asking for the moon when she called.


    “You’re wee to check out. A gentleman has been eager to move in,” the clerk said with a tone that


    suggested they had been waiting for them to leave.


    Thssa was stunned. Were they really waiting for them to vacate the room?


    Was this mysterious gentleman Lysander?


    After all, he had stayed in this room just the day before, and she had asked him to leave today.


    Was Lysander trying to push her out so he could book the room and have a reason to kick Evelyn out?


    Thssa felt a bitter sting in her chest, as if her heart was being brined in saltwater.


    She wanted to protect her mother, yet Lysander seemed intent on rubbing salt in her wounds, wanting


    to drive her mother away.


    And to think she had believed Lysander was trying to help her reason with Evelyn?


    She realized he didn’t care about her feelings or her mother’s at all.


    He was all about iming territory and possession!


    With a heavy heart, Thssa snapped at the phone, “We’re checking out right now!”


    She mmed the phone down.


    Her mother had had an ident, and she was already shaken to her core, longing to take a nap with


    her to recuperate.


    But instead, she faced this heartburn-inducing debacle.


    Having heard Thssa’s phone ordeal, Evelyn suggested, “Let’s just make do and get some sleep,


    honey. There aren’t many hotels around, and who knows how long it’ll take to find another.”


    Thssa’s eyes welled up, looking at Evelyn, “Mom, I’m sorry…”


    “Silly girl, there’s no need for apologies between mother and daughter,” Evelyn chided gently, patting


    her daughter’s head.


    She really should take her mother away and find another hotel.

    Yet her mother was right. There weren''t many options nearby.


    That could easily waste an extra hour or two.


    Better to rest now and give their tired bodies and souls a respite first. New ch?pter av?ble o?

    Thssa caved, “Mom, let’s just sleep on the other bed. The one with the wet sheets won’t do.”


    Back at the hotel front desk.


    Callum handed her a card, “Good job.”
