Chapter 280

Zephyr was thinking that maybe now was the right time to strike while the iron was hot, while Lysander’s feelings for Thalassa were still in the shallow end. On top of that, Charlotte had been doing some sneaky detective work on Thalassa in her pursuit of Lysander.

Three months should be enough for Lysander to see Thalassa’s true colors.

Charlotte, the golden girl of the Ravensong Group, had been polished by a high-class education and upbringing in high society.

Sure, she had a boyfriend when she was abroad, but according to Charlotte, their relationship lasted only three months and was purely platonic. Nothing sketchy went down.

But a misunderstanding led people to believe she had been through a string of boyfriends, which was not the case.

Yeah, she had a lot of suitors which caused her a ton of trouble.

From the moment she was lucky enough to meet Lysander and found out about their arranged marriage, she kept her distance from all other men and definitely didn’t give any hope to her suitors.

Those dudes just wouldn’t back off. Her gentle refusals didn’t seem to work.

She didn’t want to crush their ego, so she didn’t outright reject them.

Outsiders saw a bunch of guys always hanging around her, and rumors started swirling that she had a string of boyfriends, even going as far as saying she was dating multiple guys at the same time.

In reality, she only had one boyfriend, and it was a brief three-month period of getting to know each other. Nothing inappropriate happened.

This was all straight from the horse’s mouth, Charlotte herself.

A woman of Charlotte’s caliber and virtue was the right match for Lysander.

Snapping back to reality, Lysander looked at Zephyr. His deep eyes scanned his serious face with sincerity and gravity.

He understood his grandpa’s worries.

He still remembered his parents’ squabbles from his childhood, which had left a deep impression on him.

Lysander replied, “Alright, I promise, Grandpa.”

Zephyr’s tight brow finally relaxed a bit. “In three months, if you find any undesirable behavior in her, cut all ties with her and marry Charlotte.”

Lysander frowned, “Grandpa, the moment Charlotte had a boyfriend, our arranged marriage was off.

Plus, you guys were just kidding when you arranged this marriage.” There was no proof, and Charlotte’s family had never acknowledged the arrangement.

“Lysander, Charlotte wasn’t aware of her arranged marriage to you. Once she found out, she kept her distance from other men and only had eyes for you. You should give both her and yourself a chance,”

Zephyr relayed what Charlotte had told him.

He hoped for a happy ending between Lysander and Charlotte.

“Let’s revisit this in three months.” Lysander dodged the topic, not giving Zephyr a direct response.

Marriage was a big deal. He couldn’t rush into a decision. He couldn’t marry a woman he had no feelings for and had no interest in.

Zephyr was satisfied. He had convinced Lysander to give Thalassa three months to show her true colors, and if he saw through her, he would cut all ties.

This was the biggest concession Lysander could make. He couldn’t ask for more.

Only by accepting reality could he handle this situation more securely.

As for whether Lysander would marry Charlotte in three months, that depended on fate.

Zephyr didn’t pressure him, He just nodded and said, “It’s getting late, let’s head back.”

Grandma Sybil had heard their conversation clearly, and she knew they were discussing Thalassa.

When Lysander brought Thalassa home before, Grandma Sybil was thrilled, hoping that Lysander would settle down and start a family.

But when Grandpa Zephyr reminded her of Thalassa’s family background, her position in the Sinclair Group, and some past incidents, Grandma Sybil started to get wary.

Because Thalassa’s identity and behavior were almost identical to Belinda’s.

She couldn’t help but worry if the Sinclair family would see a second Belinda.

She had already lost her precious son. If something happened to her grandson, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

So when Grandpa Zephyr proposed giving Lysander three months to get to know Thalassa better, Grandma Sybil didn’t voice any objections. She simply accepted his proposal. Lysander’s safety was more important than him settling down and having kids.
