Chapter 1349
Thalassa had reached her breaking point. She felt suffocated by his domineering
attitude and his iron-fisted control. She refused to listen to him any longer.
Her hands trembling with urgency, Thalassa fumbled with her seat belt, trying to
push open the car door with all her might, but it wouldn't budge-it was locked
tight.
Turning, she glared at him, her breaths uneven with a mix of desperation and
helplessness, “Lysander, I don't want to marry you! Don't you hear me? I don't
want to marry you! Let me out, or I'll bite my tongue and end it all!”
With that, she stuck out her tongue, feigning a grim resolve to bite it off.
“What are you doing!” Lysander’s eyes narrowed as he slammed on the brakes,
bringing the car to an abrupt halt. His eyes were filled with a mix of tension and
severity.
“Unlock the door, I'm getting out!” Thalassa said, her voice quivering with threat.
Seeing the resolve in her eyes, the light in Lysander’s gaze seemed to shatter
into fragments, leaving him looking desolate and wounded.
“Stay put. I'll take you home.” He knew she would rather face death than be
forced into marriage with him.
If he pressured her further, it would only push her over the edge.
She had just lost her mother, a time of immense grief and vulnerability. Perhaps
when her heart healed, she might come to accept his proposal.
“There's no need for you to take me anywhere. You can leave. Evelyn and Bruce
had their history, and you hated her. Now she’s gone because of you, so let's call
it even. And that ridiculous “contract lover’ deal we talked about? Look, I've got
nobody in my heart now, nothing could be emptier. So consider that arrangement
over! From now on, let's just not see each other anymore!”
Not see each other anymore?
Those words pierced Lysander like thorns, thrumming painfully in his chest.
Unlike the dull irritation of the past, it was a deep, cutting pain this time.
She had always been like this, not wanting to stay with him.
Thalassa tried the door again.
After a couple of futile pushes, she turned back to him, her eyes filled with anger
and despair.
That look squeezed his heart with an agonizing grip.

Chapter 1349
Lysander’s breath came in ragged pulls. “Stay put,” he insisted, “I'll take you
home.”
With that, he restarted the car and made a U-turn.
Thalassa, unsecured by a seat belt, swayed slightly. She quickly steadied herself
with the grab handle, stabilizing her body and her tumultuous emotions.
She said nothing more, allowing him to divert their path from the one leading to
the city hall back to her home instead. It was the greatest concession Lysander
was willing to
make.
If she continued to resist, he might resort to extreme measures, forcing her into a
marriage registration.
She couldn't bear the thought of entering the Sinclair family’s estate again. It was
a cage to her.
Marriage was a shackle, and once it was locked around her, escaping would
become nearly impossible.
The short drive from the road to her house passed in silence, both Thalassa and
Lysander lost in their own thoughts.
The cramped space of the car was filled with tension, grief, and an air of
suffocation.
