Chapter 2060


    ?


    Hertha was over the moon, and even in her joy, she couldn''t resist teasing Thssa.


    It was one of those blissful moments that made everything seem brighter and more fun.


    With augh, Thssa said, "Why should I save money for Lysander? He can definitely afford dinner, but we''ve got movie ns tonight. Let''s raincheck?"


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, aiming for some alone time, huh? Afraid we''ll crash your romantic date?" Hertha teased her with a grin.


    Her smile was unshakeable ever since she found out Thssa and Lysander had made it official. It was as if Thssa''s happiness brought her even more joy than her own milestones.


    "You didn''t exactly throw us a dinner party when you two eloped, did you? Kept it all hush-hush, only to spill the beans after enjoying your little love bubble for days," Thssa shot back, poking fun at Hertha and ric''s own secretive celebration.


    Her words were an admission of wanting that same kind of intimate world with Lysander, away from any potential third wheels.


    They hadn''t even been to the movies together yet, a ssic couple''s activity that Thssa didn''t want spoiled by Hertha and ric''s ring presence.

    On the other end, Hertha, holding the now silent phone, blinked herrge, curious eyes at ric, "Do you feel like Thssa seemed a bit off?"


    ric ruffled Hertha''s hair into a wild


    mess, "You''re overthinking it.


    Thssa just got officially together with Lysander; she should be on cloud nine. Why would she be upset?"


    Hertha pondered for a moment, realizing the truth in his words. Today was supposed to be one of Thssa''s happiest days, basking in her newfound happiness. How could she feel anything but joy?


    ric had barely settled back when Hertha yanked him upright, "Get up, sleepyhead! No morezing around!"


    With a groan, ric mumbled, "Mr. Ethan gave me the day off, why shouldn''t I enjoy azy morning?"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Because, my dear, I''m starving! Let''s whip up some breakfast," Hertha pushed him towards getting out of bed.


    Having stayed at ric''s ce the night before, they had the luxury of sleeping in without any interruptions for breakfast. "Ugh, let''s just order something," ric suggestedzily.
