The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1558

Lysander suddenly spoke.

Thalassa paused, processing Lysander's response to her earlier query. Was it meant as an explanation?

Rosalind didn't live in the Royal Estates, so what did Lysander mean by saying there were other women there besides her?

It wasn't until she noticed a maid waiting quietly to the side that Thalassa realized what Lysander meant by 'other women'—he was probably referring to the maids.

She was genuinely surprised to learn that Rosalind didn't share a residence with Lysander.

"Oh." Thalassa murmured, her voice trailing off as she continued to eat the shrimp Lysander had peeled and dipped in sauce for her, placing it into her bowl.

Lysander remained silent, diligently peeling shrimp after shrimp, all of which he placed in Thalassa's bowl.

To mask the tense and awkward atmosphere of dining with Lysander, Thalassa kept stuffing shrimp into her mouth.

She ate as many as Lysander peeled.

Soon, the table was cluttered with shrimp shells, and the plate was emptied.

Feeling overwhelmingly full and unable to take another bite, Thalassa suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Sinclair, I'm stuffed. Thank you for the meal, but I... I should be heading out..."

"Uh-huh." Lysander's voice was a low murmur, not making any attempt to stop Thalassa from leaving.

With his permission, Thalassa hurried out.

She felt like she would burst if she ate any more.

Was Lysander doing this on purpose? Peeling a whole table's worth of shrimp for her alone to eat, without touching any himself—was this his way of getting back at her?

After Susan failed to eliminate her, was Lysander now trying to stuff her to death to remove the thorn in Rosalind's side?
