The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1293
The car pulled to a gentle stop in the quiet neighborhood of Star Harbor Villa.
Thalassa and Evelyn stepped out, and with a soft purr, the Rolls-Royce sped
away into the night.
Back home, as darkness enveloped the sky, Thalassa busied herself with
unpacking, sorting through laundry that needed washing. “Mom, what are you in
the mood for?” she called out to Evelyn. They had only had lunch and dinner was
yet to be had.
“I'll whip up some spaghetti,” Evelyn replied, rising to head for the kitchen.
Thalassa didn't insist on helping. Having something to do was good for Evelyn's
spirits.
After the meal, Thalassa urged her mother to get a good night's sleep and to let
go of all worries.
A week later.
Ethan strolled into the office building, holding a bouquet of flowers. He caught
sight of Thalassa as he entered the lobby and greeted her with a smile, “Ready
to call it a day?”
“Time's up, and no overtime pay means no point in sticking around,” Thalassa
quipped back.
“How about you stay late today, and I'll throw in an extra drumstick tomorrow?”
Ethan teased, wagging his finger playfully.
“Keep the drumstick for your girlfriend. I wouldn't want to intrude on your date,”
Thalassa retorted, making to leave.
“Girlfriend? Why don’t I know if I had one?” Ethan looked genuinely puzzled.
Thalassa glanced at the vibrant roses in his hand, wrapped with precision and
dotted with. baby's breath — unmistakably a lover's bouquet.
“No girlfriend, Mr. Ethan? Then, what are these flowers for?” she asked.
“These,” Ethan said with a wink, “are to persuade you to stay late with me.”
Thalassa raised an eyebrow. “Are you planning to use me as a shield to fend off
family expectations?”
She said it half in jest.
Ethan laughed heartily, “You're way funnier than me. I wouldn't dare use you as a
decoy, not with Lysander around. Can you imagine what trouble I'd be in if I
irritate Lysander?”
Thalassa was speechless.

She didn’t appreciate being the subject of jests about her complicated
relationship with
Lysander.
The truth was, Thalassa and Lysander’s relationship was awkward, to say the
least. They weren't lovers or spouses, yet she was carrying Lysander’s child and
was often seen in his company. In a word, their relationship was clandestine.
Thalassa’s mood soured.
Noticing her reaction, Ethan dropped the teasing. “Il was hoping you'd come with
me to the hospital to visit Susan.”
“Why should I go see her?” Thalassa recoiled at the mention of Susan's name,
her entire being resisting the suggestion.

her.
