Chapter 21
Faye, a career woman, couldn’t help but feel frightened and uneasy when Lysander lost his temper. She quiltily and cautiously replied, “Mr. Sinclair, four kids just barged into the office and made a huge mess”
As she responded, she dared not meet Lysander’s gaze, her heart pounding in fear that he would probe into the matter of the four children More than the office being messed up, what Faye feared most was Mr. Sinclair finding out that the four kids came looking for him, asking if he was their father.
Upon hearing Faye’s words, Thalassa next to her held her breath in shock. Not only did Dorian come, but the other three kids too? They were the ones who messed up Lysander’s office? If Lysander caught them, would they be punished?
Thalassa bowed her head, trying to make herself unnoticeable, daring not to make a sound.
Lysander rubbed his forehead, too angry for words. His stern face was even gloomier than the outside sky. “I don’t care how you do it. Find those pesky kids, notify their parents. These damages must be compensated!” Lysander was already annoyed because Thalassa had just seduced him, and he had uncontrollably kissed her.
The chaos in the office only added fuel to his anger, making him irritable.
What? Those pesky kids? Hearing Lysander describe her adorable four children that way, Thalassa, their mother, felt upset. Her four children were sensible and wouldn’t mess up his office for no reason. There must have been something that scared them, causing them to run around and accidentally make a mess.
Although she was uncomfortable, Thalassa still kept her head down, not daring to utter a word. Lysander was angry and demanding compensation from the parents. As a parent, she felt distressed. She only hoped Lysander couldn’t find the children and wouldn’t make her compensate. She was already living hand to mouth, struggling to afford three meals a day, let alone compensation.
Faye glared at Thalassa with anger and hostility. Just now, Lysander had ordered her to find those kids and notify their parents to compensate. She was worried that Thalassa would step forward and claim to be the children’s mother. If she brought the children to apologize to Lysander, then Lysander would know he was the children’s father, and the truth would be out. Lysander would also know that Thalassa was the woman he had been looking for and that she was not dead.
However, Thalassa didn’t step forward but kept her head down pretending to be uninvolved. It seemed that Thalassa didn’t know that Mr. Sinclair was the father of her children. Otherwise, she would have spoken the truth in front of Lysander long ago, instead of keeping her head down in such a timid
manner.
After quickly analyzing the situation, Faye, feeling guilty and uneasy, nodded and responded, “Alright, Mr. Sinclair, I’ll find a way to locate those kids.” Lysander, who was a stickler for cleanliness, could not tolerate the mess in his office. He shot Thalassa a cold glance and strode out of the room.
Faye followed closely, and Thalassa also prepared to follow.
Faye stopped and stared at Thalassa with a strict and disgusted gaze, “Where do you think you’re going? Clean up the office!”
“But I…” Thalassa attempted to speak.
