Chapter 1494Lysander’s gaze was heavy and penetrating, locking onto Thalassa with an intensity that felt almost
tangible. The moment Thalassa caught those piercing eyes, her heart sank, and she couldn’t help
but feel cornered.
“Oh, right, shrimp tastes better with sauce,” Callum suddenly chimed in, his fork smoothly swooping
into Thalassa’s plate to pick up a shrimp. He dipped it into the sauce bowl with a practiced motion
and brought it up to Thalassa’s lips.
“Here, try this. It’s much better now.”
Thalassa snapped back to reality, immediately backing her head away at the sight of the shrimp so
close to her mouth, nervously mumbling, “I can do it myself.”
She took up her fork, taking the shrimp from Callum, whose eyes were soft and smiling at her.
He was the same as ever, his eyes always twinkling with kindness, exuding an approachability that
was hard to deny. Even his gestures of goodwill were difficult to reject outright.

Under Callum’s watchful gaze, Thalassa, feeling too embarrassed to refuse, tasted the sauce-
dipped shrimp.
“Is it good?” Callum asked warmly.
Thalassa tugged at her lip awkwardly, replying, “Yeah, it’s delicious.”
novelbinThe smile in Callum’s eyes deepened, radiating warmth. “Let me peel another one for you…”
“I’ve got it,” Thalassa hurriedly picked up another shrimp, starting to peel it herself to prevent Callum
from doing it again.As she focused on her task, she dared not even glance at Lysander across the table.
Despite looking down, she could feel his oppressive gaze on her, making her feel as if she were on
pins and needles.

She hadn’t expected Callum to peel shrimp for her, especially since Callum and Reginald were her
clients. She couldn’t afford to offend them, fearing it would jeopardize Hertha’s project and
potentially cost Hertha her job.
Yet, Lysander’s overwhelming presence was equally hard to ignore.
“Look at me, all clumsy,” Rosalind said with a gentle, knowing smile. “Mr. Gordon is so attentive to
Thalassa, I should take note. Shrimp dipped in sauce is indeed tastier. Lysander, hold on, let me
peel one for you.”
With a soft and slightly coquettish tone, Rosalind reached out with elegant fingers, taking a shrimp
from Lysander’s plate. Mimicking Callum, she peeled it awkwardly, dipped it in sauce, and offered it
to Lysander, saying, “Here, Lysander, open up.”
Hearing Rosalind’s tender voice made Thalassa stiffen, instinctively raising her head only to meet
Lysander’s deep, cold gaze, sending a shiver through her heart.
In that moment, as she looked up, Lysander accepted the shrimp from Rosalind, breaking contact
with Thalassa to turn his attention to Rosalind. His icy demeanor softened for the first time with a
smile. “You certainly know my taste well; the seasoning is just perfect.”
Rosalind, seeing Lysander not only eating the shrimp she offered but also complimenting her
understanding of his taste, was overjoyed. Her smile lit up her face, and dimples added to her
charm.
“Of course, I’ve been following you around since we were kids; I know your tastes.”Watching Lysander and Rosalind exchange looks filled with unspoken emotions, Thalassa felt as if
her heart was being squeezed tight.
Was this why Lysander was so eager to push her out of Royal Estates? To clear the way for
Rosalind?
So be it. Three years of care could be seen as repaying his life-saving grace. From now on, she and
Lysander would be strangers.
