Chapter 1833
Lysander gently pulled Thalassa onto the bed, looking somewhat exhausted. “Let’s catch some sleep, recharge our batteries before we tackle anything else,” he said with a weary smile.
Seeing Lysander so affectionate and genuinely tired, Thalassa’s heart softened. With a warm smile, she caressed his hand, saying, “Alright, let’s rest for a bit.”
She had planned to catch up on the news, especially after the morning’s jewelry design contest had turned into such a spectacle. She was sure the news would be buzzing with stories about her and Zoey by now.
What those stories might say, Thalassa couldn’t be sure until she saw them for herself. But seeing Lysander in such a state, she couldn’t bear to leave him just to check the news.
The day had been eventful, starting with the plagiarism fiasco at the jewelry contest, followed by the unexpected arrival of big-shot investor Atticus, which had thrilled her. Then, there was the interrogation of Susan and the shocking revelation that Joshua was the mastermind behind it all!
It had been an emotional rollercoaster for Thalassa, and her heart felt like it could barely keep up.
Lying in bed together, Thalassa and Lysander soon fell asleep in each other’s arms.

“You’ll see,” Lysander replied with a smile, sparking Thalassa’s curiosity further. It was unlike Lysander to be so mysterious.
Without further questions, they set off. Their car came to a stop outside a children’s home.
Getting out of the car, Thalassa’s heart sank at the sight of the orphanage sign, a wave of melancholy washing over her.
“Why are we here?” she asked Lysander, a hint of unease in her voice.
Lysander, pushing his wheelchair, simply said, “Let’s go inside and see.”
Despite her apprehensions, Thalassa followed.
Their arrival seemed unannounced, as the staff barely acknowledged them, adding to Thalassa’s unease.

were eventually met by a tall,

Thalassa inferred that this man was coordinating with Lysander, likely arranged by their mutual contact, Payne.
Following the man down a long
corridor lined with rooms, they stopped outside a particular door.

BUT
A woman was tenderly feeding a toddler boy milk. The woman, her neck in a cast, was cradling the child, a look of love and patience her face as she said, “Caden, sweetie, this is premium formula mommy got just for you. Mommy didn’t abandon you; I just couldn’t protect myself, let alone you. But once mommy makes it big, you’ll be the first I come for…” Content

The woman hadn’t noticed them yet, absorbed in her moment with the child.
Hearing her words, Thalassa was stunned.
This woman was Susan, and the toddler she claimed as her son was over two years old.
