Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat. Just as feared, the inevitable happened.
Thankfully, the photo on the ID card was of her mom when she was young, and she and Evelyn looked
strikingly alike.
People always said she was the spitting image of a young Evelyn.
Awkwardly, she chuckled and said. “Well, I do a lot of cosmetic treatments, even had some facelift
surgeries, so I might look a bit younger than my age.”

The intensity of his gaze sent shivers down her spine. Holy crap, it was terrifying What had she done
wrong?

The thought of him touching her, even finding her skin soft and famuliar, sent chills down Lysander’s
spine.

today.”
David replied, “No problem. You should be thanking Mr. Sinclair.”

more heavily, which worked in Thalassa’s favor.

Thalassa blinked in confusion.
But, as long as the matter was resolved, she was glad.
