Big Novel

The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1339
The little tykes were using Astrid as a maypole dancing around her in the open
field, their joyful giggles and laughter echoing around.
Thalassa’s heart, which had been strung tight with worry, finally settled.
Thank goodness, the children were still here.
She had been struck by panic when she couldn't find them in their rooms earlier
— her heart had nearly leapt from her chest.
Especially after Lysander’s uninvited visit last night, she feared he might have
snatched the children away too.
“Mommy, you're up!” Sophia stood in the vegetable patch, clutching two heads of
lettuce in her little hands.
Her big round eyes sparkled with delight upon seeing Thalassa, and she
announced her happiness with glee.
At her words, the other three munchkins looked up too, casting their tender,
trusting gazes toward Thalassa.
Four pairs of eyes were filled with love and reliance, shining even brighter than
the morning sun.
“Yep, I'm coming! I'll help you all pick some veggies,” Thalassa said, coming out
of her daze and moving towards them.
“Thalassa, come and take the kids back to wash up. We've nearly got enough for
a meal. I'll start cooking, and we'll be ready to eat in no time,” Astrid called out,
swinging open the garden gate, herding the kids out.
“Mommy, look at the potatoes I helped Astrid dig up! Aren't they huge?” Elowen
trotted over, her pigtails bouncing, and presented two big potatoes in her small
hands to Thalassa,
“Wow, Elowen, you're digging up potatoes now? That's amazing. Do you like
eating potatoes, too?” Thalassa gently wiped a smudge of dirt from Elowen’s
cheek with her thumb.
“Yes, I love them! Potatoes are the best. You can make fries, chips, braised
potatoes, steamed potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes... so many
yummy dishes!”
Food was Elowen’s forte. If she had tasted something once, she knew exactly
what went into making it. And now, she tilted her head with utmost seriousness
as she spoke about her favorite food.
“How about we ask Astrid to make some potato chips for you later?” Thalassa
offered tenderly.
Having the children by her side was a comforting balm to the ache of losing her
own mother.
“Yeah!” Elowen nodded excitedly.
In no time, Astrid and Thalassa had whipped up breakfast, and the family sat
down to eat in the living room.
That's when an uninvited guest arrived.
Arms crossed and a smirk playing on her lips, Isabella said, “Having breakfast, I
see. You were crying your eyes out yesterday, and now you're all cozy and
happy. It seems Evelyn was expendable for you, after all.”

Her mother had passed away, leaving the entire family in excruciating pain.
Did their grief mean they were not allowed a semblance of normal life anymore?
Were they expected to wallow in despair, unable to eat, and follow Evelyn to the
grave?
Isabella’s tongue was as sharp as ever, spewing whatever she pleased without a
care for others’ feelings.
“Thalassa, don't spout on me. You'll get what's coming to you sooner or later!”
Isabella huffed and stormed off.
