The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)
Chapter 1557

"Come on, dig in," Lysander said, wheeling himself to the dining table.

Thalassa had no excuse to refuse anymore. If the meal wasn't ready, she might have found a way to dodge the invitation, but now that everything was served, turning him down would seem downright rude. She moved to the dining table and, out of courtesy, sat opposite Lysander. She sat up straight, her posture stiff, not touching her fork.

Lysander raised an eyebrow at her. "What are you waiting for? Dig in."

"Aren't we waiting for Rosalind?" Thalassa asked.

Since she entered, Thalassa hadn't seen Rosalind around. She assumed Rosalind might be resting in her room.

She had already assumed that Rosalind lived here, especially since Fitch almost slipped and called her Ms. Whitman, confirming her residence at Royal Estates.

At Thalassa's question, Lysander's handsome face suddenly turned cold.

The chilling aura around him tensed Thalassa's nerves. "Did I say something wrong?"

As a guest at Royal Estates, it wasn't her place to start eating without waiting for the future lady of the house, was it?

Lysander didn't answer directly but picked up a shrimp, peeled it, and placed the meat in Thalassa's bowl.

This gesture surprised Thalassa. "Mr. Sinclair, this..."

It felt awkward! She remembered the last meal where Rosalind was the one peeling shrimp for Lysander, and all he had to do was eat.

And now, he was peeling shrimp for her!

What right did she have to have Lysander serve her in such a manner?

"After taking care of me for three years, why did you choose to leave Royal Estates on the day I woke up?" Lysander's deep voice suddenly asked. Hearing this, Thalassa's heart skipped a beat, surprised at his question. She wanted to blurt out, wasn't it you who sent me away?

NOW PLAY YOUR FAVOURITE GAMES ON PIOPLAY

She opened her mouth but didn't ask.

After thinking it over, she realized the convoluted situation.

It was Rosalind who had driven her away from Royal Estates!

How did Rosalind have the power to send her away? It was because she relied on Zephyr and the Reed family's arrangement with Lysander!

Rosalind had the authority as the future lady of Royal Estates to send an unrelated person away!

Thinking this way, whether it was Rosalind or Lysander who sent her away, it didn't seem to make much difference.

Deciding to exit gracefully, she didn't want to ruin the relationship between Lysander and Rosalind. It was better not to become a thorn in Rosalind's side, an annoyance that Lysander would be better off without.

Thalassa said, "Taking care of Mr. Sinclair was my way of repaying a debt. Three years ago, if you hadn't shielded me from that collapsing wall, I might have died. Seeking a doctor for you was also in repayment. It was because of me you ended up in this state, I couldn't just abandon you. But now that you're awake, my debt is repaid. We're even now, staying at Royal Estates is unnecessary." Thalassa spoke casually, seemingly indifferent.

As if she was just stating a fact of life.

Her words, and the nonchalant way she spoke them, deeply wounded Lysander's heart.

He paused in his shrimp peeling, lifting his gaze sharply to Thalassa.

Feeling the weight of his stare, Thalassa instinctively panicked, lowered her head, and took a bite of the shrimp in her bowl.

Lysander clenched his jaw, his heart burning with turmoil and disappointment.

He continued peeling the shrimp, finished it, dipped it in sauce, and placed it in Thalassa's bowl. "Rosalind doesn't live here."
