Chapter 284
Charlotte was spooked by his sudden aloofness and strong vibe. She didn’t dare to stick around and
wanted to bolt right there and then.
Feeling a tad guilty, she slowly put her phone back and chuckled awkwardly, “Lysander, since you’re
swamped, let’s do dinner some other time. I just remembered I’ve got unfinished work. I gotta head
back to the office.”
Then she stood up and hightailed it out of there.
Once she was out of Lysander’s office and out from under his intense pressure, Charlotte broke into a
smug grin.
She deliberately let Lysander see that picture.
Once Lysander knew that Thalassa had been involved with other men and was pretty touchy-feely with
them, no matter how gorgeous Thalassa was, Lysander would probably get grossed out.
After all, how could Lysander stomach his woman being involved with other men?
Charlotte achieved her goal and trotted off joyfully..
Back in the office, Lysander was icy and his eyes were frosty.

Thalassa spent the day in the secretary’s office. Lysander didn’t call for her, neither did David.
When the workday was over, she had only familiarized herself with the materials, and it was time to
clock out.
She quickly packed up and got ready to leave.
Regardless of whether Lysander had left or not, it was quitting time and she didn’t have anything else
to do. Was she supposed to just sit in the office twiddling her thumbs?
Even if Lysander found out she left before him, what was the worst he could do, fire her?
She wouldn’t mind that at all.
Thalassa hopped in her blue-purple BMW and hit the road.
Even though her driving skills were still a bit rusty, she wasn’t as scared anymore thanks to the
morning’s driving experience.
Back home, Evelyn and the kids hadn’t returned yet, so she poured herself a glass of juice and sat by
the dining table, sipping and waiting.
About ten minutes later, Evelyn returned with the four kids.
As soon as the four kids saw her, they excitedly rushed over and dove into her arms.
Thalassa hugged these little darlings and kissed each one. The sweet milky scent on them was
absolutely irresistible.
“Tomorrow’s Saturday. You don’t have to work, right? After dinner, take care of the kids, and I have to
run an errand.” Evelyn said while carrying the groceries she just bought and closing the door.
Thalassa asked curiously, “Mom, where are you off to this late?”
“I haven’t played poker in a while and I’m thinking of getting a few rounds in.” Evelyn didn’t beat around
the bush this time.
Thalassa immediately frowned, “Mom, you know our financial situation better than anyone. Why would
you want to gamble?”
“I have a plan this time. I’m only bringing 200 dollars. If I win, great. If I lose, I quit.” Evelyn was
resolute, “I spend every day taking care of your kids. I hardly have any time for myself. What’s wrong
with playing a bit of poker once in a while?”
“You could go dancing at a party, or plan a trip with some friends,” Thalassa suggested.
Gambling was just a waste of time and didn’t do any good.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvelyn said impatiently, “I don’t like dancing, nor do I have any interest in travelling, I just want to play
poker. You don’t need to talk me out of it.”
Then Evelyn shot Thalassa a sideways glance. She walked into the kitchen and shut the door,
preventing Thalassa from trying to talk her out of it.
The sound of the kitchen door closing was so loud that Thalassa blinked in surprise.
She was only trying to talk her out of gambling. Why would Evelyn get so mad?
In the evening, after dinner, Evelyn left.
Thalassa knew that once she left, she might be out all night.
She couldn’t do anything about it, and all she could do was take care of the kids.
Kids that went to kindergarten fell asleep easier, probably because they used up their energy playing,
so they fell asleep pretty quickly.
Thalassa soon got the four little ones to sleep.
Then, she went to take a shower.
After showering and changing into her pajamas, Thalassa, who was drying her hair, noticed her phone
on the couch was ringing.
Seeing the name on the screen, Thalassa didn’t feel like picking up.
