Chapter 1290


    The oppressive aura in the room was palpable, making Thssa''s heart skip a beat. She shook her


    head resolutely, "No, it''s not that."


    Before Lysander could make a move, Thssa subtly shifted closer to him, her hip just grazing his


    side. The brief contact was like a spark between two live wires, sending a jolt of electricity through them


    both.


    Lysander''s arm casually draped over her waist, his hand firmly but gently encircling the slender curve


    of her midsection. Even with his light touch, the raw strength in his grasp was undeniable, and


    Thssa couldn''t help but feel a twinge of nervousness.


    She thought he would make a bold move right there on the train, in full view of the other passengers.


    But instead, his hand just began a gentle, circr motion over her belly, as if he were soothing a child


    within.

    Surprised by his tender action, Thssa realized that Lysander was trying tofort the baby inside


    her. She had mistaken his intent, assuming the worst—that he was beyond caring about propriety or


    her feelings.


    His warm hand continued its gentle caress, and the tension in Thssa''s body began to melt away.


    She could feel the steady, powerful beat of his heart through the thin fabric separating them, and it


    soothed her own frantic pulse gradually.


    Lysander watched her with a softened gaze, a rare departure from his usual icy demeanor. It was as if


    the first rays of morning sunlight had thawed the surface of a frozenke.


    He was silent, simply gazing at her with an intensity that spoke volumes.


    Evelyn was seated in an aisle seat behind them. With just a nce, she could see the intimate


    interactions unfolding between Thssa and Lysander. The way he held her, and the gentle light in his


    eyes, made him look like a man enraptured by love.


    Evelyn caught her breath. Could it be that Lysander was actually harboring feelings for Thssa?


    Otherwise, why would he look at her with such tenderness? But if that was the case, why hadn''t he


    married her?


    Lysander''s disdain likely extended to any woman associated with Bruce, especially Evelyn. After all,


    Bruce had pursued Lysander''s mother while still involved with Evelyn. If she were in Lysander''s shoes,


    she would resent such a woman for not keeping her man in check, allowing him to wreak havoc on


    another''s life. Co?tent оf Draмa?ovеls.cом
