Chapter 1111
When Lysander received the apologies from his two boys, the dark clouds that had been hanging over
his face parted like curtains, and a warm smile broke through like sunlight after a storm. His lips
twitched in a near imperceptible smile, he wasn’t even aware he was doing it.
“It’s late, time for bed,” he said, his voice carrying a natural tone with an undertone of authority not to
be questioned.
The children, overjoyed by the news from their mother about the upcoming addition to the family, felt a
deep sense of security. They obediently headed to their bedrooms for the night.
Though Thalassa had initially intended to tuck them in, to her tender heart’s surprise, they insisted she
rest early instead. They made promises to look after their future sibling and reassured her that they
could sleep on their own.
After seeing her children to their rooms and softly closing each door, Thalassa turned and nearly
collided with the tall, shadowy figure of Lysander standing silently behind her. She caught her breath

“What are you doing standing there? You scared me,” she said.
Lysander naturally took her hand, “Time for bed,” and led her upstairs.
Thalassa was surprised; he had waited in the living room all this time just to take her to bed?
She didn’t resist, but as they reached the door of the master bedroom, she paused. Lysander looked
back, “Something else on your mind?”
Despite the deception she had played on him and the lingering irritation he felt, he had seen the
genuine motherly love she radiated towards their children today. Even with their issues, she upheld his
image as a good father, refraining from speaking ill of him to the kids.
This softened Lysander’s anger considerably, and his gaze upon her became gentler.
“No, nothing,” she said. “I’m pregnant, and the pregnancy is delicate. I need peace. I’ll rest in the guest
room next door, to avoid complications.” Without waiting for a response, Thalassa headed to the next
room.
Her expression calm, her gaze detached, as if her decision was truly for the sake of the child and not a
reluctance to share a room with him.
Lysander watched her enter the guest room and close the door without a word.
Inside, Thalassa leaned against the door, inhaling deeply to dispel the heaviness in her heart.

After meeting with Susan and learning she had been intimate with Lysander, Thalassa couldn’t face
him as before, and she certainly didn’t want him close.
The next day, Thalassa went to work and was complimented by her boss, Ethan.
“The advertisers are thrilled with yesterday’s shoot; it’s all set for a successful campaign launch. I heard
you were directing on-site, Ms. Everhart. Looks like there’s a bonus in it for you this month,” Ethan said
with a smile.

“Thank you, Mr. Ethan. If I get a bonus every month, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams,” Thalassa
joked.
“Keep up the good work and you just might. I’m not stingy when it comes to rewarding good work,”
Ethan encouraged.
“Will do, I’ll give it my all,” Thalassa replied, not one to downplay her ambitions.
“Oh, and this afternoon we have a meeting with a stock market client. We’re scheduled to hit the golf
course together. You’ll come along, Ethan added, assigning her the next task.
“Why does it always have to be in the afternoon? Can’t we schedule these things during
business hours?” Thalassa quipped.
“The client is only available after their work hours. They’re considering investing two hundred thousand
in Crawley Electronics but are worried about the volatility of the stock market and prefer a direct
investment,” Ethan explained.
Thalassa nodded, “Got it. Do I need to prepare any documents?”
“Have all our company’s product information on hand,” Ethan instructed.
“Understood, Mr. Ethan,” Thalassa affirmed, ready to tackle the day’s challenges.
