Leopold's eyes twinkled for a moment. Her laughter was like a bright sunlight, which pierced into the deepest regrets he buried in his heart. That caused a throbbing pain inside him.
Yet, he didn't let it show. A sunny smile was still on his lips as he said, “I know they are your treasures, the most important consideration in your future decisions. Go peruse the books; you can't just come in here for nothing.”
Saying this, he took the lead towards the bookshelves filled with various books.
He deeply understood that right now, the most important people in Thalassa's life were her four kids, who occupied her entire world.
That was why she endured the humiliation of staying by Lysander’s side.
Lysander used her four kids as leverage, forcing her to give up the right to choose the one she loved.
He vowed to change the status quo and to help Thalassa and her kids escape from the torment of Lysander.
Thalassa picked up a book on secretarial case studies from the bookshelf and began flipping through it.
Halfway through, she felt a shadow loom over her.
Looking up, she saw Leopold standing before her and blocking the sunlight streaming in from the window with his hand.
She was engrossed in her book while he watched her with an intense gaze.
Seeing him standing motionless, shielding her from the glaring sunlight, Thalassa asked in surprise, “What are you doing?”
“Blocking the sun. Direct sunlight is not only blinding but can also cause tanning. I'm saving you some sunscreen money,” Leopold said, a smile playing on his lips.
Thalassa was suddenly amused by his words, “I've already applied sunscreen; you blocking the sun won't save me any money.”
“Well, prevention is better than cure. Sunscreen doesn’t last forever,” Leopold countered.
Checking the time on her phone, Thalassa was taken aback to find it was already two in the afternoon.
