Chapter 468
Thalassa’s heart pounded within her chest and her hands were tugging at her shirt as if they were
tearing the fabric apart. That’s when a familiar voice rang out.
“Alright, get back to work. Sophia needs to get ready for school, so I’ll talk to you later. Bye.”
With that, the call ended.
Thalassa heaved a sigh of relief, turning her gaze towards Lysander. His deep, penetrating gaze met
hers, filling her with unease.
“Next time, don’t use such sweet words with others.” Lysander’s voice was icy as he handed her back
her phone.
Thalassa was puzzled, “But that was just a four-year-old kid.”
“I said no, and I mean it!” Lysander’s tone was assertive, his eyes piercing.
“I understand.” Thalassa lowered her gaze in acquiescence.
But inside, she was grumbling. People would think he’s even jealous of a child; but the truth is, this

He didn’t want her to express any affection toward others.

“He’s working in the study. Ms. Everhart, breakfast is ready. Please eat.” Fitch was as respectful and
polite as always.
Despite the previous day’s events, Fitch’s attitude towards Thalassa hadn’t changed.
She was the first woman Lysander had brought home, and even after learning she had sold the circular
pendant, he had not asked her to leave.
Clearly, she held a special place in Lysander’s heart.
As the butler, Fitch continued to treat her with respect.
“Actually, I’ll wait for Lysander and eat with him. It doesn’t feel right to eat alone,” Thalassa said.
Fitch didn’t object.
Thalassa glanced around the living room, then said, “You can get back to your work. I’ll just wander
around a bit.”
Fitch nodded and returned to the kitchen.
She walked around the hall and checked every corner. With no one watching, Thalassa pushed open
the back door and stepped into the backyard.
The backyard was a riot of color, filled with blooming flowers and lush greenery. The scent of flowers
hung in the air.
The spring breeze, laden with the fragrance of flowers, was intoxicating.

She peered inside, noting that the display table, once crowded with a variety of porcelain and jade, now
held only a few pieces.
Perhaps the items she had broken had not yet been restored.
Thalassa scanned the room, her gaze sweeping across every corner in search of the circular pendant.
But after a thorough search, there was no sign of it.
“Looking for another one?” A cold, magnetic voice sounded from behind her.
Thalassa jumped, her heart pounding as she turned to face the pair of dangerous eyes. She stuttered,
“No, not at all. I was just looking for the circular pendant…
“Do you like it that much?” Lysander moved closer, his cold, dangerous aura enveloping her.
His towering figure cast a long shadow over Thalassa. She shuddered, stepping back without giving
much thought.
