The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 864
Thalassa didn’t respond to Evelyn’s words. She just clung to her.
“Are you even listening to me?” Evelyn pushed her back to an upright position, her face twisted in frustration.
Evelyn was truly desperate. Her own daughter had given birth to four children for Lysander, and in the end, she had not even
received a proper title or recognition, let alone the possibility of losing her children.
No one could accept such a fate.
“Yes...” Thalassa replied.
Evelyn’s words also gave Thalassa a hint. If she wanted to break free from Lysander’s control and leave with her children, she
had to win his trust first.

Only then would she have a chance to do what she needed to do.
At night, Lysander slept alone in the master bedroom. The thought of Thalassa wanting to leave him, to cut all ties, was like a
thread, tightly wrapped around his nerves.
His mood was gloomy and cold.
Finally, he fell asleep, only to be haunted by nightmares.
He was a child again, on the night before his father’s accident.
His parents had a blazing argument, his mother smashing all the porcelain she could find, leaving a mess all over the floor.
Eight-year-old Lysander stood in a corner of the room, witnessing his parents argue intensely, their voices clashing like thunder
and lightning.
Their voices filled the house.
They were supposed to be a loving couple, but they looked more like sworn enemies, their faces twisted in anger. The scene
cast a huge shadow on young Lysander’s heart.

His home was never warm. All his memories were tinged with gray.
After their fight, his mother stormed out, slamming the door behind her. His father noticed him in the corner, squatted in front of
him, his large hand resting on his shoulder and said in a broken voice, “Lysander, remember, never marry a woman who doesn’t
love you, or you’ll end up like me...”
His father’s eyes were filled with sadness and bitterness.
At that time, Lysander didn’t understand what his father meant by “ending up like me”.
Until the next day, when his parents both died in a car accident.
His mother, in her attempt to elope with another man, had driven away recklessly despite his father’s pleas. His father had
chased after her, desperate to bring her back.
But not only did he not bring her back, he also lost his life in a tragic car accident.
Lysander could never forget the image of his father, whose face covered in blood, being rushed into the operating room, only for
the doctor to declare him dead after a futile attempt to save him.
Only then did Lysander understand what his father meant by “ending up like me”.
That end was too tragic.
In the middle of the night, Lysander suddenly opened his eyes. The initial moment of pain and fear was quickly replaced by
coldness and aloofness.
He sat up, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
These days, Thalassa kept to a normal work routine, returning to her apartment in Vibrant Oasis Residences after work.
For four days, Lysander didn’t contact her, and she didn’t message him either.
In these four days, her world was quiet, as if Lysander didn’t exist.
But the children were also quiet. There was no news from them at all.
Four days without seeing her children, Thalassa felt a void in her heart, she missed them terribly.

She didn’t know what they were doing now, whether they were eating well, sleeping wall, or if they were missing her...
