Chapter 423
Leopold grabbed her hand, holding it firmly. He placed a bracelet on her wrist, his voice adamant, “Put
this on. It’s a gift. Don’t take it off.”
Not only was Leopold holding her hand, but he was also holding the bracelet on her wrist, preventing
her from removing it.
The gesture seemed intimate, like a couple sharing a tender moment.
Thalassa was about to object when there was a sudden flash of light. She looked up to see a woman
with a smartphone pointed at them.
The woman, clad in glittering designer outfits, had just snapped a picture of them before lowering her
phone. It was Charlotte!
Thalassa immediately stood up and walked towards Charlotte, saying sternly, “Delete the picture!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlotte hid her phone behind her, feigning ignorance, “What picture? I don’t know what you’re talking
about.”
Thalassa tried to grab the phone, “The picture you just took of us, delete it!”
Charlotte scoffed and dodged Thalassa, “You’re desperate, trying to snatch my phone in public. I told
you, I didn’t take any picture.”
Suddenly, her phone was snatched from behind. She turned around only to see Leopold holding her
phone. She tried to grab it back, but Leopold, being taller, kept it out of her reach.
“Leopold, what’s this about?” Charlotte fumed, “Are you and Thalassa an item? Are you afraid people
will find out?”
“Shut up!” Leopold snapped.
Charlotte might not fear Thalassa, but she definitely didn’t dare to mess with Leopold, a member of the
Sinclair family.
Leopold deleted the picture and tossed the phone back to Charlotte, warning her, “Stay out of my
business. If I find out you’re causing trouble behind my back, you won’t get away with it.”
Charlotte caught her phone, her lips curled in anger, “I don’t get what’s so special about Thalassa,
everyone’s protecting her!”
Then she stomped off in a huff.
Thalassa exhaled in relief, turning to Leopold, “I’m going home. I need to rest.”
Knowing she had a concussion, Leopold didn’t insist, “I’ll take you home.”
“No need, I’ll take a taxi.” As she was about to remove the bracelet to return it, Leopold’s sharp voice
stopped her, “Keep the bracelet on. Don’t take it off. Or else, I’ll take you home.”
Thalassa paused. “You should go eat. I’m leaving.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe gave up on removing the bracelet and walked out briskly.
Everyone seemed to like threatening her.
They found her weakness and used it against her.
Thalassa was exhausted.
She hailed a taxi and returned to Vibrant Oasis Residences. Stepping inside, she let out a sigh of relief.
Opening the door to the nursery, she was greeted with the sweet smell of baby powder. Her tired heart
instantly filled with energy.
As she was about to enter, her phone rang again. Irritated, she expected it to be Leopold again and
was about to hang up when she saw it was Lysander calling!
Just seeing his name made her heart race.
She nervously slid her finger to answer, “Hello?”
“Come down.” The deep male voice on the other end commanded.
Come down? Was he at her old apartment building?
Thalassa felt a knot of anxiety in her stomach.
