But she didn’t push Lysander away. 

Chapter 1279 

It wasn’t that she didn’t care about Callum’s feelings, but she wanted to make it clear to him that pining for her was meaningless. 

Thalassa was brooding when out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a pair of piercing, deep-set eyes. She tried to look away, but Lysander’s icy gaze pulled her back. 

Their eyes met. 

His eyes seemed to swirl with a blizzard, threatening to consume her very soul. 

Thalassa’s heart pounded like a drum inside her chest. What had she done now to upset

Locked in a stare with Lysander, her heart racing, she worried he might lose it on the boat. When he lost his cool, it was a disaster. 

“Look! There’s a bird diving for fish-it’s fascinating! It can swim and even dive underwater for several minutes without coming up,” Evelyn suddenly exclaimed, pointing excitedly at the surface of the lake. 

Evelyn’s voice broke through Thalassa’s tension and embarrassment. She quickly turned to Evelyn with a smile and said, “Indeed. There are so many wonders in the world that we’ve yet to see. We should really get out travelling more and explore the world.” 

“I’m not getting any younger, and there’s not much time left to wander,” Evelyn sighed softly.

Thalassa’s cheeks turned pale with concern. 

How she wished she could return to her mother’s side to hug her and ease her worries. 

But Lysander held her tightly, preventing her from escaping. 

“You can still wander the world at a hundred, let alone at fifty!” Lysander’s deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out. 

He was responding to Evelyn’s earlier lament, offering her reassurance. 

Thalassa was surprised. She turned to glance at him, his ruggedly handsome features sharp and resolute, exuding a potent masculine charm. 

His allure made Thalassa’s breath catch. Charming men always had a way of stirring

one’s soul. 

Moreover, his words were meant to comfort her mother.
