Chapter 1267
Callum snapped back to reality and noticed Evelyn's furrowed brow, her face
etched with worry and guilt. His smile returned, easing the tension in the air,
“Hey, what are you talking about? You don’t owe me an apology. This kind of stuff
happens all the time, no biggie.”
“That's a relief,” Evelyn replied, her voice trembling slightly with the weight of her
concern. No sooner had the words left her mouth than the door burst open. A
gust of formidable energy charged into the room, tugging at everyone's nerves.
Evelyn turned to see Lysander carrying Thalassa into the room, his stern face
tight with displeasure.
Evelyn's heart sank, her voice laced with panic and worry as she uttered,
“Thalassa...”
Callum’s gaze darkened upon seeing Lysander’s hold on Thalassa, his fist
clenching at his side.
Under the watchful eyes of her mother and Callum, Thalassa felt her discomfort
grow, twisting in Lysander’s arms. His sharp glance sent a clear message, and
she stilled, as if doused in icy water.
The mere thought of being seen in such a compromising position was bearable
when it only involved strangers, but this was different. Here she was, in front of
her mother and Callum, held close by Lysander in a manner that was far too
intimate.
Her dignity felt trampled, as if Lysander had ground it into the dirt beneath his
leather boots, a burning humiliation.
Lysander’s piercing gaze swept over Evelyn and Callum, his voice low and icy as
he commanded, “If you know what's good for you leave us!”
His blunt, domineering words left Thalassa breathless, her eyes wide with
disbelief and
fear.
What was he saying?
Was he suggesting they leave so he could...? And say it right in front of her
mother and Callum?
Evelyn, cowed by Lysander’s presence, turned pale but managed a weak smile.
“Of course, we'll just be going now.”
With her head bowed, Evelyn left the room.
Lysander’s words had struck a chord in Callum, his breathing becoming heavy.
Despite the challenging glare, Callum slowly rose, leaning on his cane, and made
his exit.
Once Callum was out, Evelyn, still under Lysander’s intimidating gaze, shut the
door behind her.

She turned to Callum, her face ashen, “Mr. Gordon, let's get out of here.”
After all, who would want to stick around and hear the intensity of what might
transpire behind that door?
Without another word, she walked away.
Callum cast one last, lingering glance at the closed door, his eyes clouded with
sorrow, before he turned away and followed Evelyn.

The moment the words left her mouth, Lysander’s icy gaze froze her in place.
His eyes burned with anger as they fixed on her. What he heard and what he
latched onto was her last sentence.
