Chapter 380

Elowen had started searching for her mother on the show.

She said her mom had been missing for four days. Wasn’t she referring to her?

Through the TV, Elowen’s sweet and serious voice could be heard..

“My mom’s name’s easy to remember, it’s sweet, it’s warm.”

Thalassa was taken aback, her heart pounding in her chest.

In her ears was the sound of Elowen on the brink of saying her name.

Before her, Lysander’s body radiated a cold aura. His slender fingers gripping her chin, his handsome face exuding a chilling pressure.

It was the tension of being surrounded by predators, nerves strung tight, ready to snap at any moment.

“My mom’s name is,”

Suddenly, as Elowen was about to say her mother’s name, the sound abruptly stopped. The TV screen went black, and the lights in the living room went out as well. Thalassa breathed a sigh of relief. Her hair and her back were drenched in sweat.

was afternoon, at dusk, the natural light was weak, and with the lights off, the brightness of the surroundings decreased a notch.

But this did not prevent Lysander from seeing every expression on Thalassa’s face. He said he wouldn’t grant her wish, and she was so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

He held her face, drawing her closer to him. It was so close that he could feel her slightly ragged breaths.

He gritted his teeth slightly, his cold breath blowing on her face. “Want to have a child with me, huh?”

Thalassa’s nerves, which had just relaxed a bit, tensed up instantly. In her clear eyes, panic emerged which she couldn’t control. She hurriedly said, “I’ve taken the contraceptive pill. Don’t worry, I won’t get pregnant. I know you don’t like children, and I won’t delude myself.”

Just now he had asked her if she liked children.

She said yes.

He said he wouldn’t grant her wish.

She hadn’t had time to digest what he meant by that.

But now, hearing his icy and angry words, she understood everything.

He meant he wouldn’t let her carry his child, much less let her give birth to his child.

He didn’t like children, and she certainly wasn’t qualified to bear his child.

Thalassa understood his meaning deeply, but her heart ached involuntarily. The pain lingered, a dull discomfort.

She felt sorry for her four babies.

And she also mourned her own situation.

Hearing her say such ‘sensible” words, Lysander was slightly satisfied, letting go of her chin with a cold snort.

At this moment, the lights in the living room came back on, and the TV screen lit up again.

But it was no longer the show page, but the TV’s main page.

Fitch rushed in, nervously explaining, “Mr. Sinclair, the circuit breaker tripped just now, causing a temporary power outage. It’s fixed now.”

Lysander waved his hand dismissively.

Fitch nodded and withdrew.

Thalassa, on the other hand, was incredibly relieved. Thankfully, the circuit breaker tripped at the crucial moment, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thalassa cautiously glanced at Lysander next to her. His cold face seemed to have softened a bit.

It must have been what she said earlier that pleased him.

So, he really didn’t want her to bear his child.

Thalassa felt a heavy sadness in her heart, but she didn’t get discouraged. She took the opportunity to ask, “Mr. Sinclair, can I go home today? My mom hasn’t seen me for a few days and must be worried about me. What if she can’t find me and calls the cops?”

Lysander turned his head, his frosty eyes filled with oppression, staring at her, “Let her call the cops then. It will show her what a good daughter she has, and how many antiquities you have destroyed.”

Upon hearing antiquities. Thalassa’s heart sank, feeling guilty and at a loss for what to do.

Her gaze flitted around nervously, she gave a forced laugh and said, “I’m really sorry. I was poisoned at the time, and all I saw were carrots and cabbages. I didn’t realize they were antiques. Fitch told me those things were worth 100 million.”

Upon mentioning 100 million, Thalassa felt her breatir hitched.
