Chapter 210 After a second thought, Thalassa reckoned Lysander probably didn’t see it. Otherwise, Lysander would’ve gone straight to Atticus and Dorian, getting them to call their folks right away. He wouldn’t have waited until evening to have David call Hertha. It must’ve been David who checked the CCTV and came to the conclusion. Phew, what a false alarm! “It’s okay, mommy’s not mad at you guys, you just didn’t notice. But remember to be careful when playing games, don’t just run across the road, and definitely don’t carry sharp objects. You got it?” Thalassa gently told them off. Atticus gave a nod, showing he got the message. Dorian also nodded seriously “Mommy, I promise I won’t run across the road anymore.” “Good boy” Thalassa softly praised him, patting his head. Just then, Evelyn came out of the kitchen with a tray of food and put it in front of Hertha: “Hertha, breakfast.” “Thanks, Evelyn.” Hertha didn’t refuse. She came over first thing in the morning and hadn’t had breakfast yet. Last night, she figured Thalassa and the kids must’ve been in bed already, so she didn’t ring Thalassa, not wanting to disturb her Thalassa thought Evelyn would ask about the tire–slashing incident, but to her surprise, Evelyn quietly ate her breakfast, not saying a word. Curious Evelyn was always asking questions about anything she heard, why was she suddenly so quier That was really strange. However, Thalassa didn’t think much of it. Perhaps Evelyn didn’t hear their conversation since she was in the kitchen. After breakfast, Hertha offered to drive Thalassa to work because she drove here Thalassa accepted, and they left together. In the car, Hertha was driving and chatting with Thalassa ‘David asked me yesterday how the kids father died I said he jumped into the sea, but he said he jumped off a building What did we say before? Hertha was still puzzled She really couldn’t remember what she had said. Thalassa chuckled and shook her head. “I can’t recall ent “Really? So is the children’s father alive or dead? Who is he?” Hertha was really curious about which man had such strong fertility that he made Thalassa pregnant with quadruplets Thalassa didn’t hide anything from Hertha and said. “It’s Lysander” “Oh, it’s Lysander.” Hertha responded calmly at first, then suddenly gasped in surprise and shouted, “What?” She was so excited that she turned her head to look at Thalassa without paying attention to the road. “Car, we’re about to rear end, brake Thalassa screamed Hertha immediately hit the brakes. The car came to a sudden stop, and their bodies jerked forward and were then pulled back by the seat belts. Thalassa was so scared that her heart was pounding that she put her hand over her heart, gasping for air. “Oh my God, that scared the life out of me, I’m really worried about your driving skills. You rear–ended last time, didn’t you learn your lesson?” “It was Alaric Falconer who rear–ended me last time, okay?” Hertha was also scared out of her wits. “So, how did the conversation with Alaric go?” Thalassa recalled the previous car accident when Hertha successfully got Alaric’s contact information. Hertha’s face darkened, looking very gloomy: “Don’t even mention it, he just paid for the repair costs and then ignored me.” She sent him two messages, but he didn’t reply. She couldn’t very well shamelessly keep following him and chatting with him, could sh

Chapter 209 Looking at their soft, cute little faces, still sleepy–eyed, it’s hard not to fall in love with them. Thalassa, holding Elowen’s chubby, soft little body, planted a warm kiss on her chubby cheek, then moved on to kiss Sophia, Dorian, and Atticus. After smooching the four little ones, she found herself panting and feeling a bit addicted. Her breath smelled of warm, sweet milk, an aroma one could never get enough of. “Mama, I want some milk.” Elowen’s soft voice rang out. The kids were four years old now, and they still had some formula with their meals. Elowen was particularly fond of milk. As for Atticus and Dorian, they hardly drank milk anymore, except for the occasional cup, and mostly ate solid food. Elowen and Sophia needed a bottle of milk every morning to satiate their cravings. “Alright, mama will make some for you now,” Thalassa said as she got up. She picked out clothes for them, tossed them over, and let them dress themselves. Then she left the room to make the milk. Evelyn was up even earlier, preparing breakfast. “Smells good, mom, what’s cooking?” Thalassa asked, sniffing the air. Evelyn chuckled at her daughter’s ravenous expression: “Egg pudding for the kids, and your favorite cheesy pasta.” “I just love pasta, thanks mom!” Thalassa grinned widely. “You silly girl!” Evelyn laughed, shaking her head. Thalassa prepared four bottles of milk and returned to the room where the kids had already dressed and were waiting. the She started handing out the milk, one bottle each: “Sophia’s, Elowen’s, Dorian’s, Atticus’s.” Atticus turned his face away, saying coldly, “I’m not drinking. Only babies drink milk, and I’m not a baby.” Seeing him act all grown up, Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright, you’re a big boy now, not a baby. Can Mama have your milk?” “Mm, Mama can have it,” Atticus replied, then left the room. He preferred eating to drinking milk. Rather than wasting it, Thalassa drank the milk Atticus didn’t want. As their family of six was having breakfast, someone knocked on the door. Thalassa opened the door to find Hertha standing there, looking rather surprised. “Hertha, what are you doing here so early?” “Thalassa, something big’s happened,” Hertha said, looking very anxious as she came in. This got Thalassa worried. She had Hertha sit down and poured her a glass of water. Evelyn served Hertha a plate of pasta from … Read More “The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa Chapter 209” »
Chapter 208 As soon as they checked the surveillance, they found the relevant information. Seeing the parent’s name and contact number on the child’s information, David found it oddly familiar. He dialed the number, and before he could even finish, a call history popped up. Sure enough, it was someone he knew. Once the call was connected, David went straight to the point: “Ms. Kensington, I’m contacting you like this again, you really ought to reflect on yourself a bit.” Hertha was totally lost, she asked curiously, “David, what do you want?” Previously, David contacted Hertha because of Thalassa’s kids. After that, she made a note of his contact information. She thought this number would be forgotten in her address book, but she didn’t expect to receive his call so soon. “Your two kids left an pump needle on the street and punctured our CEO’s tire, you need to compensate.” David didn’t beat around the bush. Last time, her kids ran into Mr. Sinclair’s office and damaged the expensive sofa, this time, they punctured the CEO’s tire. Her kids seemed to always have a beef with Mr. Sinclair. Holding the phone, Hertha was shocked. “What? My kids? They punctured your CEO’s tire, what’s going on? I didn’t.” She’s not even married, where would she get kids from? Just as she was about to say it, something dawned on her, and she quickly shut her mouth. That was a close call. “What didn’t you do?” David asked. “I’m not married.” Hertha quickly corrected herself. As soon as she said it, she realized it didn’t make sense. How could she have kids if she’s not married? Even though she’s indeed single, it’s not something she could admit. She did have four kids under her name, they were all Thalassa’s. She couldn’t register them under Thalassa’s name, so she had them registered as her own through her father’s connections. She couldn’t bring trouble to Thalassa, so she nervously prepared to explain. On the other end of the phone, David’s words were heavy with implications: “Oh right, your husband passed away. How did he die again?” Hertha was tongue–tied, it took her a while to recall that last time when David asked for compensation, Thalassa was making gestures next to her, telling her to say that the children’s father had passed away. Hertha immediately started to cry, saying,“Yes, my husband committed suicide. I’m raising the kids on my own and working, it’s really hard.” “Hold on. Did he commit suicide by jumping into the sea? I remember it was jumping off a building.” David no longer sympathized with her. Hertha immediately stopped crying and said, “He jumped into the sea.” She remembered Thalassa making a jumping gesture at the time; she said he jumped into the sea, not off a building, right? She even forgot how he “died“. David rubbed his forehead and temple and said, “Regardless of how he died, I hope you’re coping well. The fact that your kids punctured our CEO’s tire is indisputable. To replace a tire on a Rolls–Royce, it’s nearly six thousand dollars. Considering you’re a single mom, we’ll give you a discount. You just need to pay five thousand.” “What?” Hertha was dumbstruck. How did it suddenly become five thousand? Thalassa really had it tough, the hard–earned money had to be used not only to raise the kids but also to solve various problems. She wondered when they could finally live a relaxed life. “Please transfer the money to my account by tomorrow afternoon.” David hung up after saying that. The next day, Thalassa woke up at seven in the morning. Chapter 208 Ever since she had kids, she hadn’t had … Read More “The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa Chapter 208” »
Chapter 207 The two of them were playing alone in the amusement park, and it wasn’t their first rodeo. They knew their way home and how to avoid being scammed. They were going to be just fine. Lysander returned to his office, recalling what Thalassa had said in the car. He was in a foul mood. He had given Thalassa a chance to take back that heartless declaration, but she said it was a no–go. What the hell had his grandfather said to her? Why was she so stubbornly rejecting him? From a young age, Lysander had been under strict military discipline and training. He had always been on point, and his self–control was shockingly strong. After he took over the Sinclair Group, he grew it into a world–renowned company in just two short years. He was ruthless, cold, and decisive, never leaving room for criticism. The only time he screwed up was five years ago. In a fight with business and military rivals, he was hit by a poisoned arrow and fell into a barn in Hollowbrook. He was feverish, uncomfortable, and seriously injured. If he hadn’t gotten the antidote in time, he would’ve been toast. Back then, he had taken a woman’s innocence in desperation. Over the years, he not only missed the woman’s gentleness but also felt guilty for what he had done to her. He finally found that woman, and it was Thalassa. He wanted to take responsibility and make up for the harm he had caused her. But his grandfather had stuck his nose in, causing Thalassa to reject him. Thinking about this, Lysander’s mood got even worse. He called his grandfather: “Grandpa, what did you say to Thalassa this morning? She’s giving me the cold shoulder now.” Zephyr was originally dissatisfied with Lysander’s growing lack of self–control and emotional decision–making. Hearing his last words, filled with a hint of loss, Zephyr was even more pissed and said coldly, “Lysander, I just told her to step up her game and stop being a cleaner. If she goes cold on you because of this, she lacks ambition. I don’t know what you see in her.” Lysander frowned: “She could have gotten a better job after graduating from college, but something held her back.” “Did she tell you that? What could have possibly held her back from going to college? You went through tough training and still managed to get a master’s and a PhD, didn’t you? There’s no excuse for a lack of ambition. Lysander, you’ve undergone military training, and I believe you’re not like your nephew, always acting on emotion. I have to take care of your grandmother, let’s hang up.” Zephyr hung up after he spoke. Lysander’s eyes turned cold. He was already in a bad mood, and after the call with his grandfather, he felt even worse, annoyed. In his piss–poor mood, he remembered that his car tire had been punctured. He called David: “Tow the car back to the company garage, find the kid who punctured the tire, contact his parents, and make them pay.” He said it in a cold tone and hung up. He made this call because he was somewhat annoyed and ended up dragging innocent people into it. But, to be fair, randomly throwing sharp objects on the road posed a threat to passing vehicles and can even cause traffic accidents. This was unacceptable behavior and needed to be held accountable. Lysander was feeling down before and didn’t have the energy to dig deeper. Now, he was starting to feel annoyed, and his temper was getting shorter. David had called a tow truck and was taking the Rolls–Royce to the 4S shop for repairs. Suddenly, he received a call from the CEO. He immediately had the driver turn around and head back to the vicinity of the amusement park to check the surveillance footage and see which brat had thrown a nail on the road and punctured his boss’s tire.
Chapter 206 Thalassa didn’t want to talk about these things in front of the kids, believing it wasn’t good for them or their development. However, Evelyn always liked to get to the bottom of things. Thalassa sighed and said, “Mom, we can’t control other people’s decisions. I think we’re doing just fine and our family living together in harmony, it’s pretty sweet.” Sweet? You’re 27, and you still don’t have a boyfriend. Look at Isabella, she’s got a loaded boyfriend, and I heard from her mom that she’s getting hitched soon. Then she’ll have someone to dote on her, to love her, while you will be left to deal with all the family stuff on your own.” Evelyn just loved to beat this dead horse. “I do have people who dote on me, who love me–my dear mom, and my four little munchkins, you all love me dearly.” Thalassa said with a smile, planting a soft kiss on Elowen’s tender cheek. Elowen squirmed in her arms and cooed sweetly, “I love mom the most.” Sophia also toddled over hugging Thalassa’s leg and rubbing her face against it. Her babyish voice would melt anyone’s heart: “Right, we love mom the most.” Sophia, the youngest daughter, still had a babyish lisp. Thalassa gently corrected her with a laugh. Seeing this tender mother–daughter scene, Evelyn was angry but couldn’t lash out. No matter how mad she was, the cuteness of the little ones just melted her heart. She sighed in resignation and said, “You should learn more from Isabella and plan more for your future.” “Mom, everyone’s life is different, there’s no need for comparison. Why should I learn from Isabella? Everyone is unique. I don’t want to be someone else.” Thalassa discussed the issue with her. Evelyn was clueless about Isabella’s shady tactics. If she were to learn from her, wouldn’t that mean she’d turn into a bad person? “Fine, fine, you’re unique; I can’t get through to you so I’ll go talk to your boss.” Evelyn waved her off, deciding not to argue anymore. The problem wasn’t with Thalassa, it was with her boss. Instead of arguing with her, it’d be better to go straight to her boss and give him. a piece of her mind. Hearing Evelyn’s words, Thalassa was taken aback. She said, “Mom, don’t do anything rash or you’ve got it all wrong.” Evelyn scoffed: “I know what I’m doing and you go on with your chips.” Thalassa’s boss gifted her a villa! And Thalassa thought she could fool her? There’s no way that man would be so kind to Thalassa without any strings attached, he must be taking her for a ride and looking down on her at the same time. He must be trying to toy with her daughter using money and not taking any responsibility. She was determined to have a word with him. Thalassa turned around, mid–chip, when a thought struck her. She turned back to Evelyn and asked: “Where are Atticus and Dorian?” Evelyn slapped her thigh and said, “Damn, I left them downstairs.” With that, Evelyn rushed out to find them. Elowen’s big eyes were bright and childlike, she looked at Thalassa, blinked twice, and said in her babyish voice, “What a forgetful grandma.” “Haha. Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh. Elowen’s words were both cute and funny. Thalassa quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth, then gently patted her little head, saying, “Don’t worry, your two brothers will be just fine.” Atticus and Dorian had always been very independent, and their maturity was beyond their years compared to other kids.
Chapter 205 In the car Leopold was driving, he took a glance at Lysander in the rearview mirror. Lysander was leaning back in his seat, eyes closed, trying to catch some z’s. Out of curiosity, Leopold couldn’t help but ask, “Lysander, what brought you to this neck of the woods? Something up?” This place was far from bustling and it was mainly a haunt for the strugglers heading out to make a living. Normally, Lysander wouldn’t be caught dead in a place like this. His lifestyle was more high end, and his usual haunts were business hubs or bustling areas. “Hmm, Lysander responded with a monosyllabic grunt. “Work stuff?” Leopold asked again. “Hmm.” Lysander responded again. He looked beat and not in the mood for chit–chat. Leopold got the hint, and he didn’t bother him anymore. After dropping him off at the company, Leopold was about to take off when Lysander suddenly asked, “What are you heading over there for?” Leopold was taken aback, realized what he meant, laughed it off, and said, “Work stuff too.” Lysander encouraged him to win back Thalassa, but he ended up getting the cold shoulder from her. And boy, did Thalassa shut him down, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If he spilled the beans to Lysander, he’d probably think Leopold was a total screw–up. Nonetheless, he was still after Thalassa, he can tell Lysander once he’s won her over. Lysander didn’t say another word, he just walked into the elevator. Leopold turned around and left the Sinclair group. Thalassa’s place. Evelyn stormed in with Elowen and Sophia. She’d expected to see two people when she opened the door. But instead, she found Thalassa alone, sitting at the dining table, munching on chips. “Hey, you’re back.” Thalassa turned her head, greeted them with a gentle smile, then went back to her chips. Seeing Thalassa act as if nothing happened, Evelyn got ticked off. She let go of Elowen and Sophia and stormed through every room, but didn’t find anyone. She stormed up to Thalassa, hands on her hips, demanding, “Where the hell is he?” “Who?” Thalassa was clueless. “The dude!” Evelyn stated it bluntly. “Elowen saw a guy dropping you off.” Evelyn stared her down, not letting her dodge the question. Thalassa finally realized, so Elowen did see her. 6 ? F F F Z SEPT Thankfully, she didn’t call her mom at the time, or the cat would’ve been out of the bag and Lysander would’ve found out that she was his daughter. Instead of answering Evelyn’s question right away, Thalassa picked up Elowen and gently stroked her little face. “Our Elowen saw mommy, huh?” “Mm–hmm, Mommy, I love you the most, I knew it was you right away,” Elowen replied in her sweet baby voice. “Thalassa, tell me, was that guy your boss?” Evelyn was adamant. Thalassa had already experienced her mom’s interrogations and knew she wouldn’t let it go easily. She replied, “Mom, that’s all water under the bridge; it’s over.” “What do you mean it’s over? He tells you you’re not good enough for him, then drives you home. What’s he really after? Is he trying to dodge responsibility?” Evelyn was getting angrier the more she thought about it
Chapter 204 Around a comer, a black Rolls–Royce pulled to a sudden stop. Just now, Lysander had heard the explosion, and he instantly knew something was off. He killed the engine, got out of the car, and saw a thick, silver pin sticking out of his front tire, puncturing it. His tire was noticeably deflated. From the look of that pin, it must be an inflation needle. Probably some kid playing with a pump, and the needle dropped on the road, puncturing his tire. What a little hellion! Lysander’s gaze was icy, he coldly looked towards the playground on the side of the road. Seeing Lysander’s eyes sweep over him, Atticus quickly reached out and pushed Dorian’s head down. He quickly turned his back to Lysander, using a basketball to cover Dorian’s head and spinning the ball, pretending to be playing with Dorian. Dorian was confused, he was suddenly pushed down, and his head was used as a backboard for his brother’s ball play. He said helplessly, “Atticus, what’s up?” “Shush.” Atticus quickly made a gesture for silence and said to Dorian seriously, “If I’m not mistaken, our needle punctured someone’s tire. You’re holding it, if someone sees, you’re going to get in trouble.” Dorian was taken aback. He immediately shut up. His needle that was accidentally dropped on the road punctured someone’s tire? Um, he didn’t do it on purpose. The pump in his hand was still exposed. Although it was blocked by Atticus, what if someone still saw it? Dorian quietly hid the pump in his arms, carefully concealed it to avoid being discovered by others. In this way, it wouldn’t be seen. Seeing Dorian quiet down, Atticus continued whispering, “I think the man who got out of the car just now was Lysander.” “What, Lysander?” Dorian asked in surprise. His voice unconsciously raised a bit. Realizing he might be overheard, he hurriedly lowered his voice and whispered, “The Lysander we suspect is our dad?” “Uh–huh, him.” Atticus whispered back. “Mom came home crying this morning, didn’t she? I suspect he upset her.” Atticus analyzed. Even though he was young, he was very bright. Although mom didn’t say who it was, he could guess from what she said that it must be him. Did Lysander, mom’s boss, say that mom wasn’t good enough for him? Dorian also thought of mom’s pitiful look this morning. With a basketball on his head and lying on the ground, his little brows furrowed into a knot. He whispered, sounding indignant, “He actually upset mom, serves him right for getting his tire punctured, hmph!” Lysander’s deep gaze swept over the playground through the fence. There were many kids playing inside, mostly little girls in the toy area playing on slides. In the basketball area, a group of little boys were clumsily playing basketball. Nothing special caught his eye, but two boys playing basketball in a unique way caught his eye. One boy was lying motionless on the ground, and the other boy had a basketball on the back of his head, turning the ball with both hands. Lysander glanced at them, then turned his gaze away. He called David to tow the car and pick him up. At this time, a silver Porsche pulled up, and Leopold got out. 2 3 2 2 3 4 “Lysander, car trouble?” Leopold asked as he approached. Lysander glanced at him and said to David, “Just tow the car and no need to pick me up.” After hanging up, he got into the Porsche.
Chapter 203 Evelyn reckoned the hottest dude she’s ever laid eyes on was that Mr. Sinclair she bumped into last time in Hollowbrook. At first, she thought he was Isabella’s boyfriend, but then Thalassa told her he was actually her boss, not Isabella’s squeeze. Then, out of nowhere, Mr. Sinclair built a mansion for Thalassa. This started to smell funny to Evelyn, and she started suspecting that Mr. Sinclair might be Thalassa’s boyfriend. Last night. Thalassa didn’t come home all night, and when she came back in the morning, she was crying her eyes out, saying she wasn’t good enough for someone. This got Evelyn thinking: maybe Thalassa’s boyfriend was her boss, Mr. Sinclair. She figured maybe the person who looked down on Thalassa was also Mr. Sinclair. Oddly enough Mr. Sinclair dropped Thalassa off at home again today. Was he toying with her, not wanting to marry Thalassa but also not letting her go? These rich kids, all of them playing the field! What did they think her daughter was? If they were sincerely in love with her daughter, she won’t object, but if they were just messing around, she won’t hold back. She, Evelyn, ain’t scared of nobody. If anyone dared to hurt her daughter, she would give them hell! Evelyn, with Elowen and Sophia’s hands in hers, was high–tailing it home. She was going to have a chat with Mr. Sinclair, and this time, she won’t let him off easy! “Grandma, I’m tired, I can’t keep up.” Little Elowen, with her short legs, was struggling to keep up with Evelyn. “Little one, hurry up, don’t keep your grandma from finding your dad!” Evelyn, impatient and unable to wait, scooped up Elowen in one arm and, with Sophia in the other, made a beeline for home. She was worried that if she was there a moment later, Mr. Sinclair would be gone. He made her daughter cry last night, and she needed to have a word with him. Just as she bent down to pick up Elowen and her gaze shifted towards the road, a black Rolls Royce zoomed past her. By the time she came to, the car had already passed her, and she was still holding Elowen, hurrying home. Meanwhile, at the playground’s basketball court, two cute little boys were studying their basketball and pump. Those were Atticus and Dorian, They also came to the playground with their grandma, and while Elowen and Sophia enjoyed the slide, Evelyn kept them company. She was in such a hurry to get Elowen and Sophia home that she forgot that Atticus and Dorian were still there. Atticus and Dorian loved basketball, so they were messing around on the court. But their basketball had a small hole and deflated quickly. Evelyn didn’t want to buy them a new ball, so she told them to bring the pump and inflate it whenever it deflated. They’d already pumped it twice, and the ball was flat again. Just as they were about to pump it up again, they realized the needle for the pump was gone. Atticus asked Dorian, “Weren’t you the one holding the pump? Where’s the needle?” Scratching his head, Dorian pouted and said quietly, “The ball rolled onto the road earlier, and when I went to fetch it with the pump, the needle might have fallen on the road.” “Let’s go find it then,” Atticus suggested. “Uh–huh Dorian quickly nodded in agreement. The two kids, one holding the ball and the other holding the mini pump, walked through the playground with the slide, heading towards the road. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from around the corner. Someone’s tire had blown out, and the sound was deafening. Terrified, Atticus and Dorian immediately stopped in their track
Chapter 202 Thalassa’s words reached the tip of her tongue, but suddenly she paused, unable to continue. What’s the point in telling him all this? She had been forced into losing her virginity and ended up pregnant because of it. For the past five years, she was busy taking care of her child, with absolutely no time or energy to date. She already had four kids, which was more than enough for her. Did she really need to bring him up to speed with all this? Over the years, all her thoughts had been on her kids, with no time to dwell on the past. She no longer gave a damn about whether he betrayed her or not. To Thalassa, Leopold was just a passerby in her life, with no connection left now. Seeing her stop mid–sentence, Leopold urgently urged her, “Why? Tell me.” Thalassa took a deep breath, not wanting to continue. She averted her gaze, whispering, “Just drop it, don’t waste your time on me anymore. We broke up five years ago, just stop trying to find me.” He cheated, and that’s that, no excuses needed. Besides, she’s now a mother of four. There’s no room for Leopold in her life. It’s better to cut him off for good, letting him start anew, than to give him false hope and keep him waiting. Waiting for something that’s never going to happen was just wasting prime years. With that, she turned and headed towards the staircase, not looking back. Leopold didn’t go after her. He watched her retreating figure with loss, his hopes crushed once again. Seeing her resolute figure, his heart ached even more. He gritted his teeth and said, “Thalassa, I won’t give up! You’re my first love and the one I’ll love for life. I won’t ever give up on you!” By now, Thalassa had turned the corner, out of Leopold’s sight downstairs. Her strength drained away in an instant, and she leaned against the wall. Her heart was trembling in pain, and tears were flowing without warning. Her mind was filled with memories of her days with Leopold at school, their youthful days, and their innocent love. He was her first love, and she was his too. If it weren’t for what happened five years ago, she and Leopold might be married now, living a peaceful and happy life. The past was so beautiful, and the present was so cruel. What had happened in the past can’t be changed. The issue at hand wasn’t something an apology, explanation, or compensation from him can solve. From the moment she got pregnant and had the child, it was destined that she and Leopold would be like parallel lines, never crossing paths. Leopold waited downstairs for a while, but Thalassa didn’t come back. He hung his head, got back in his car, and drove off. There’s plenty of time. One day, he will make Thalassa face her feelings and be with him again. At the playground in the neighborhood. Elowen and Sophia were having fun on the slide. Elowen suddenly tugged at Evelyn’s hand, saying, “Mom’s back, let’s go home.” Curious, Evelyn asked, “How do you know Mom’s back?” Elowen replied, “I saw her in a black car. A very handsome man was dropping her off.” Elowen’s voice was soft and clear and very sincere. Evelyn heard every word clearly. Thalassa was in a black car, dropped off by a very handsome man. Elowen didn’t just call anyone handsome. Only really good–looking guys, like Atticus and Dorian, would earn that praise.
Chapter 201 For real? He’s actually going to give her a ride home? Was he pulling her leg? Chapter 201 At that moment, inside the car, Lysander’s deep voice echoed, “Thalassa, I’m giving you a chance, take back what you said this afternoon. Those heartless statements–she must’ve blurted them out in anger. He was giving her a chance to take them back but all Thalassa could think about right now was, her daughter can’t see her, the window needed to close quickly! She was in the midst of a fierce mental tug–of–war. She totally missed what Lysander said. Her head was practically buried in her knees, thinking they can’t take her children away! “That’s not happening!” She muttered angrily without realizing it. Lysander’s face turned gloomy in an instant, as cold as a winter night’s sky. He had never seen such an ungrateful woman! Lysander was filled with rage, driving the car at breakneck speed. In less than two minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the old residential area. Furning, he didn’t bother to escort her inside, he stopped the car and said coldly, “Get out!” Thalassa was surprised. Hearing the anger in his words, she shrank her neck, obediently opened the car door, and got out. Then Lysander reversed the car abruptly, stepped on the gas, and sped off. The exhaust from the car wafted into Thalassa’s face. She fanned away the exhaust with her hand, scoffing at his exhaust fumes and saying, “What a weirdo!” He insisted on driving her home, but he ended up getting angry. How absurd! She didn’t provoke him. But it was better that he didn’t escort her inside, so she didn’t have to be on tenterhooks. What if she ran into other problems? Seeing Lysander leave, Thalassa let out a sigh of relief and walked towards home. Arriving at the downstairs of her building, Thalassa noticed a silver Porsche parked there. The car looked familiar. She didn’t think much of it and headed straight for her building. “Thalassa!” Behind her, a warm voice with a youthful vibe called out. Reacting instinctively, Thalassa turned around to see the tall, chestnut–haired Leopold approaching. Seeing his usual optimistic and handsome face, her heart ached slightly. Her expression, however, turned cold. “How do you know where I live?” It’s understandable that Lysander knew that, as he’s her boss, finding an employee’s address wouldn’t be difficult. But why would Leopold know her address? Seeing her defensive stance, Leopold’s smile faded, and he apologized, “Thalassa, don’t be like this, it hurts me too. I came back to the country specifically to find you.” As he spoke, he took a step toward her. As he approached. Thalassa felt threatened, she stepped back, looking at him warily, and said, “Stay away! Leopold, I made it clear to you five years ago: there’s no chance for us.” Noticing her resistance and stopping him from getting closer, Leopold stopped in fear of frightening her, maintaining a step’s distance.
