Chapter 170
Lysander’s gaze dropped to Thalassa’s chest as his mind wandered back to the moment at Sapphire
Skyline when she poured him a drink and bent over to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of her beauty.
He swallowed hard, and his voice dropped low. “Stand straight and don’t bend over, that way you won’t
show anything.”
Thalassa quickly nodded, “Mhm.”
She turned her face toward the window, hiding her blush from him.
The car pulled up to a hilltop mansion.
It was a cluster of mansions built around the hill, surrounded by lush greenery, with beautiful views and
fresh air.
Thalassa sat in the car, watching mansion after mansion recede, each one as grand and noble as a
castle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe car stopped at the top of the hill.
There was a castle–like mansion on the hilltop. It was much grander, more imposing, and luxurious
than the others around the hill.
Thalassa was amazed to see such a luxurious mansion for the first time.
Ever since becoming a mother, she thought of her children in everything she saw.
She couldn’t help but imagine how much happier her four kids would be living in such a grand mansion
than crammed into her rental.
Here there was plenty of space, lush green grass, and fragrant flowers.
They could run freely and play to their hearts‘ content instead of being stuck in a cramped room playing
with toys all day.
But Lysander didn’t like kids. He would just find them annoying.
What the kids needed more than a big house was love and companionship.
Lysander couldn’t give them love, which would only make them feel more defeated and lost. Maybe
even inferior.
Those were her four precious babies, and she would never allow anyone to hurt them.
So, it was best for the kids to be with her.
She would never tell him about her kids unless she was sure Lysander would like them.
They walked through a garden, up the stone steps, and into the mansion,
The mansion was decorated lavishly, with an opulent crystal chandelier that shone brilliantly and a
cashmere carpet on the floor that looked and felt luxurious and cozy.
Thalassa and Lysander walked into the hall together.
Two elderly people were seated on the sofa.
Sybil sat there with her cane and a benevolent smile on her face.
Zephyr sat next to Sybil, his posture was straight, and his face wore a kind expression.
Thalassa felt a sense of familiarity when she saw Grandpa Zephyr.

Soon she remembered. She had seen Grandpa Zephyr before in the president’s office of the Sinclair
Group.
Zephyr’s welcoming smile vanished when he saw Thalassa, and his sharp eyes turned serious.
Sybil, who had been waiting, greeted Thalassa with an even warmer smile, “Hello dear, you’re so
pretty. Come here, let me have a look.” Sybil and Zephyr bad always been puzzled about Lysander’s
reluctance to get married, suspecting that he might not be interested in
women.
Now that he had finally brought a woman home, Sybil was overjoyed.
Thalassa could feel Sybil’s warmth. She smiled but was reserved, glancing questioningly at Lysander.
Lysander introduced them, “These are my grandparents.”
He introduced them to Thalassa, then turned to his grandparents, “This is Thalassa.”
“Very good. I like her very much. Come sit next to me.” Sybil beckoned her.
Thalassa glanced at Lysander again, and he nodded at her.
Thalassa walked over with a smile.
However, her dress was too long, and as she walked forward, she accidentally stepped on it and fell
forward, landing on her knees She ended up kneeling right between Zephyr and Sybil.
