Chapter 357
Stowing their luggage in the trunk, Evelyn took the passenger seat, while the four children nestled in
the back. Thalassa instructed the children to behave and to listen to Evelyn’s words. She then shut the
car door.
Elowen immediately pressed herself against the car window, saying in a voice laden with reluctance,
“Mom, why aren’t you coming with us?”
With a smile, Thalassa placated her, “You guys go on ahead, I have to finish my work here first, then I’ll
come home, okay?”
“Ugh, I hate work and overtime,” Elowen grumbled, her lips pouting in disappointment at not being able
to accompany her mother.

She yearned to be with her little darlings, but she couldn’t. Having escaped from the hotel, Lysander
would undoubtedly be looking for her. If she were to be with the children when he found her, her
carefully guarded secret would be exposed in an instant. Considering Lysander’s power and
dominance, he would definitely take the children away.
Thalassa could barely stand the thought of being separated from her adorable children. As the car
disappeared from sight, she returned to her rented apartment, hastily packing her belongings into a
backpack. She had just finished packing a few clothes when a frantic knock sounded at the door.
The sound of the knocking felt like it was pounding against her heart, causing Thalassa to freeze in
place, her breathing becoming shallow.
It was as if she was facing a devil at her doorstep.
She remained rooted to the spot, unable to bring herself to answer the door. The knocking grew more
urgent, each knock louder than the last. Thalassa’s heart pounded like a drum, her body taut with
tension.
Knowing there was no escape, she slowly moved towards the door and finally opened it. It was a tall,
slim man in a silver-grey suit. His chestnut hair was neatly combed, and his handsome face was etched
with sadness. His bright eyes were filled with pain.
It was Leopold!
Relieved that it wasn’t Lysander, Thalassa felt her tension dissipate.
“Thalassa, why?” Leopold’s voice was heavy with sorrow and confusion.
He had spent most of the night pondering, but still couldn’t understand. Why was she dating Lysander?
Was it to seek revenge?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas she sleeping with Lysander as a way to mock him for sleeping with her cousin? If so, did that
mean she still had feelings for him?
Thalassa had been on high alert, anticipating Lysander’s arrival. She didn’t have the energy to discuss
their past, or to untangle a dead relationship that could never be resurrected.
She felt drained, the tension had made her sweat and she was out of energy. “Leopold, I told you, don’t
come looking for me anymore.”
“No, I won’t leave until you explain,” Leopold was stubborn. He strode into the apartment and seated
himself on the couch, determined.
Thalassa turned to him anxiously, “Leopold, you need to leave. I have to go. If you’re not leaving, then
you might as well stay here!”
With that, she turned and walked towards the door. Just as she was about to step out, the elevator
doors opened to reveal a man’s figure that made her blood run cold. The sight of him was so shocking
that she was left rooted to the spot.
