Chapter 830
Leopold’s eyes twinkled for a moment. Her laughter was like a bright sunlight, which pierced into the deepest
regrets he buried in his heart. That caused a throbbing pain inside him.
Yet, he didn’t let it show. A sunny smile was still on his lips as he said, “I know they are your treasures, the most
important consideration in your future decisions. Go peruse the books; you can’t just come in here for nothing.”
Saying this, he took the lead towards the bookshelves filled with various books.
He deeply understood that right now, the most important people in Thalassa’s life were her four kids, who occupied
her entire world.
That was why she endured the humiliation of staying by Lysander’s side.
Lysander used her four kids as leverage, forcing her to give up the right to choose the one she loved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe vowed to change the status quo and to help Thalassa and her kids escape from the torment of Lysander.
Thalassa picked up a book on secretarial case studies from the bookshelf and began flipping through it.
Halfway through, she felt a shadow loom over her.
Looking up, she saw Leopold standing before her and blocking the sunlight streaming in from the window with his
hand.
She was engrossed in her book while he watched her with an intense gaze.
Seeing him standing motionless, shielding her from the glaring sunlight, Thalassa asked in surprise, “What are you
doing?”
“Blocking the sun. Direct sunlight is not only blinding but can also cause tanning. I’m saving you some sunscreen
money,” Leopold said, a smile playing on his lips.
Thalassa was suddenly amused by his words, “I’ve already applied sunscreen; you blocking the sun won’t save me
any money.”
“Well, prevention is better than cure. Sunscreen doesn’t last forever,” Leopold countered.
Checking the time on her phone, Thalassa was taken aback to find it was already two in the afternoon.
“I have to get back to work; if Mr. Ethan finds out, he’ll accuse me of slacking off during work hours,” Thalassa said
as she put down her book and headed out.
Ethan had originally sent her to inspect Leossa Electronics for any irregularities, but she had ended up at Starhaven
College instead.
If Ethan found out, he would definitely scold her.
Thalassa was not the type to deliberately slack off at work; her sense of responsibility was strong and she was
already feeling guilty for taking so much time off.
Knowing Thalassa well, Leopold didn’t hold her back; instead, he offered to drop her back at the Crawley Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No need. You get going. I’ll just take a cab,” Thalassa declined.
Without hesitation, Leopold grabbed her wrist and led her to his car. His actions were assertive, giving her no
opportunity to hail a cab.
Thalassa had no choice but to go along.
As they drove up to the entrance of the Crawley Group, Thalassa opened the car door to get out, reminding
Leopold, “Drive safe.” Hearing her words of concern, his heart pounded and his gaze deepened as his grip on the
steering wheel tightened.
In the end, he clenched his teeth and drove off without responding to Thalassa’s words.
Watching his car drive away, Thalassa turned and headed towards the office building.
Ethan was in his office, looking out at the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows when he noticed Thalassa returning
in a silver car. Being a man of high society and a lover of luxury cars, Ethan immediately recognized the car’s value.
Who drove a silver car again?
It was Leopold!
It was him!
