Originally planning to share the bed, Lysander couldn’t sleep. He underestimated Thalassa’s influence
on him.
Her breath was sweet, light, and fragrant. The faint floral scent on her kept teasing his nostrils, flowing
into his blood, and arousing his desire for her.
While just lying together, without even touching, Lysander began to lose control of himself again.

Lysander took a deep breath, doing his best to keep his cool.
He closed his eyes, trying to drift off to sleep.
Just as he was about to enter dreamland, Thalassa next to him suddenly stirred. She reached out, both
arms and legs sprawled over him, murmuring in her sleep. “Baby, my baby…”
Her hand rested on his belly, and her leg draped over his, half turning to cuddle him.
Thalassa’s body was soft and warm, and her sweet scent and touch vividly lingered around him.
This was the familiar scent he had been missing for five years.
Lysander swallowed hard, his throat was parched.

scare her off.
He carefully disentangled himself from her limbs.
The familiar warmth and sweetness slightly retreated. Lysander sighed in relief, turning his back to her,
thinking he could finally fall asleep.
But her steady breath, her sweet scent, and her mumbling in her sleep were like a kitten scratching at
his heart.
Enough was enough!
If he wasn’t worried about scaring her, he would have jumped her bones right then and there.
After reminiscing about that night five years ago, Lysander gritted his teeth. While suppressing his
desires, he got up, put on his clothes, and headed to the study.
Tonight, sleep was the last thing he needed. He might as well get some work done.
The sky gradually lightened. The moonlight was replaced by the rays of sunlight. Dawn arrived, and a
new day began.
Thalassa was sleeping soundly on the incredibly soft and comfortable bed..
Suddenly, the ringing from her phone in her pocket wouldn’t stop.
Thalassa was jolted awake. Somewhat annoyed, she rubbed her eyes as the phone continued ringing
relentlessly. The ringtone was all too familiar.
Her mind was still a bit fuzzy, but then it hit her like a ton of bricks, and she sat up straight.
After taking in her surroundings, she gasped in surprise.
She clearly fell asleep on the couch last night; how did she end up in bed?
She quickly threw off the covers and checked herself.
Thankfully, she was still fully dressed.
She hurriedly got out of bed, grabbed her coat from the coat rack, pulled out her phone, and fumbled to
answer the call.
“Hello, Mom.”
“You little rascal, if I hadn’t gotten up early today. I wouldn’t have known that you didn’t come home all
night! You’ve got guts! Why did you spend the night out? Evelyn’s scolding voice, mixed with worry,

Thalassa’s ears were about to go deaf from the scolding, so she held the phone a bit further from her
ear.
Waiting for the scolding to subside, she finally brought the phone back to her ear, saying, “I’ll be back
soon; I’ll explain when I get back; I gotta go.”
With that, Thalassa quickly hung up the phone.
If she didn’t hang up now, she would get another earful from Evelyn.
Thalassa forgot to call Evelyn last night, telling her she was going to have dinner at Lysander’s.
Who knew Sybil would ask her to stay over, and with all the things that happened after, she completely
forgot to call Evelyn.
When she got back, she’ll tell Evelyn in detail that she had found the kids‘ father. He was ready to take
responsibility, but he didn’t like children.
She’ll have to discuss this issue with Evelyn and see what they should do.
Thalassa quickly threw on some clothes.
