Chapter 121
“How did Lysander know her address?”
Thalassa was a bit puzzled but didn’t dwell on it, heading straight home.
Upon entering, the living room light was still on, and someone was sitting anxiously at the dining table.
Thalassa almost jumped out of her skin before realizing it was her mom. She let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest, “Mom, why are you still up? You scared the hell out of me.”
Seeing her return, Evelyn’s worried expression faded, only to scold her, “You, young lady, not even calling me when you get off work this late. And not picking up when I call you. Just because you earned some cash, you think you can ignore me?”
Evelyn tapped Thalassa’s forehead a few times, turning her prior worry into a loud scolding.
Thalassa defended herself, “Mom, I left my phone at work. I didn’t hear it ring. I was so swamped that I forgot to call you, and I’ll remember next time.”
When she was locked up, her phone was confiscated until she was released.
So she couldn’t call Evelyn or receive calls.
She was worried that Evelyn would worry, hence her rush to get Lysander to drive her home.
Though Evelyn was harsh with her words, she had a heart of gold, always expressing her worry through scolding.
Thank god Thalassa understood her, or she’d think her mom didn’t love her.
“You’re just a janitor. What’s with all the work? Working late into the night, are you dating someone? Evelyn questioned her seriously.
Thalassa was terrified by Evelyn’s piercing gaze, and she quickly said, “Mom, I’m not dating anyone who’d date me in this situation. If I were, I’d tell you right away. It’s late, let’s go to bed, I’m beat.”
Thalassa yawned.
Evelyn looked at her with her all-seeing eyes and said, “Don’t beat around the bush. Last time you refused Mr. Cooper, didn’t you say you had a boyfriend?”
“Mom, that was a misunderstanding. Didn’t I explain?” Thalassa was a bit annoyed that this was brought up again.
-Evelyn stared at her and asked, “Are there still buses this late? Who drove you home?”
“Our boss, Mr. Sinclair. I’m done talking and I need to sleep, I’m exhausted. As for the dating topic, Evelyn could talk till dawn.
Thalassa was too tired and sleepy to explain again.
She went to the bathroom, freshened up, returned to her room, and cuddled the child sleeping on the edge of the bed.
Thalassa relaxed quickly, feeling comfortable, and soon drifted off to sleep.
In the living room, Evelyn was still pondering.
Last time, Thalassa’s boss played the role of her boyfriend to refuse Mr. Cooper.
Today, Hertha said, the boss of the Sinclair group even came to visit.
At night, the boss personally drove Thalassa home.
These two seemed to have some special connection.
No, she had to visit the Sinclair group tomorrow to investigate.
If Thalassa was really dating the boss, that would be fantastic!
Thinking of this, Evelyn felt rejuvenated.
