"What do we do now?" Thalassa turned to Lysander, seeking his opinion.
Realizing that Joshua had been helping Susan because they shared a child together, and Susan was using the child to manipulate Joshua, everything started to make sense. Joshua was in the dark about the child's whereabouts, but they had stumbled upon that information.
Given Susan's long list of offenses, they could apprehend her now.
However, the complication was that she had the child with her.

Lysander met Thalassa's gaze, his eyes drilling into hers as he spoke in a low, magnetic tone, "What do you think?" "Me?" Thalassa was taken aback.
"What should we do now?" Lysander clarified.
Thalassa quickly caught on-Lysander was leaving the decision up to her, considering Joshua was her father and the little boy, her half-brother.
Hating Joshua was her right, just as disregarding the child's safety was within her freedom to choose.
Of course, opting to help Joshua find the child, to place her trust in him once more, was also her prerogative. Hesitating, Thalassa lowered her gaze, her eyelashes concealing the emotions swirling in her eyes.
Lysander's gaze remained deep and patient, waiting for her.

"Let's give them stto sort this out themselves," she suggested, her voice carrying a hint of plea. After all, the decision not to arrest Susan right away wasn't hers to make-Payne was the lead on this case.
If he decided to proceed with the arrest, they would have to follow through.
Lysander met Thalassa's earnest gaze, unsurprised, almost as if he had anticipated her choice. He uttered a low, affirmative grunt in response.
With Lysander's acknowledgment, a smile tugged at Thalassa's lips. "Let's head home." She nudged Lysander towards the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore uncovering the child's existence between Susan and Joshua, Thalassa had felt conflicted and frustrated, wondering why she always seemed to be the one left behind. Joshua had chosen to support Rosalind over her without a second thought, disregarding Thalassa's feelings in the process.
Between her and Rosalind, Joshua's choice was understandable-after all, Rosalind was his cherished youngest daughter, the apple of his eye who had grown up by his side. en.swhovelsThalassa, on the other hand, was just an unexpected result of a fleeting encounter, someone who had never really shared a bond with him, let alone any father-daughter affection.
His decision to side with Rosalind was comprehensible.
But what was Susan to him? Why would he choose to help Susan at her expense? Was she really inferior even to an outsider?
Understanding the existence of a child between Susan and Joshua shed light on her situation. Among his children, she was the one readily forsaken.
Yet, even with this realization, Thalassa found no room in her heart for hatred.
After everything she had been.
through, she had cto terms with her situation. Hatred would only breed more pain. She couldn't control the choices of
others, but she could manage her own emotions. Keeping herself m open-minded and happy was the biggest responsibility she owed to herself. Peter Gril CH/F-PSE X
