The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1218
At the outset, Callum had arranged to meet Thalassa at the Fortune Restaurant, ostensibly to chat about Leopold.
Now, sitting in the Fortune Restaurant for the second time, Leopold remained the unwelcome topic of their conversation.
Every mention of Leopold sent a pulse of pain through Thalassa’s heart.
Why was Leopold so stubborn and so foolish? Did he really believe that she insisted on breaking up with him because he wasn’t
influential enough?
If she cared about family background or wealth, she wouldn’t have been with him when she thought he was just an average
college guy, oblivious to the fact that he was from a top-tier family.
For Thalassa, it was never about lineage or power. If she chose someone, their pedigree meant nothing. And if she hadn’t made
up her mind about someone, not even a king could keep her by his side.
Her idea of happiness was simple: to love each other, be united, and strive for a shared
humble life.
She had decisively ended things with Leopold because she couldn’t bear the fact that he had been with another woman, and she
herself had been deceived, robbed of her
innocence.

She couldn’t erase the image of Leopold in bed with Isabella Everhart from her mind, nor could she ignore the despair that came
with her own violation.
That night had ensured she and Leopold could never be together again.
Later, she found out she was pregnant and gave birth to quadruplets.
With every passing day, the gap between her and Leopold grew wider.
The problems between them couldn’t be fixed with mere effort. Sadly, she hadn’t told him soon enough.
Thalassa clenched her hands in her lap, her body taut with discomfort, biting her lip to hold back the tears threatening to spill
from her eyes.
The regret she owed Leopold would haunt her for a lifetime.
Callum noticed her reddened eyes, the shimmer of unshed tears she fought to control.
Seeing her struggle tugged at his heartstrings.
Leopold’s passing was a wound that hadn’t healed for him either. Leopold was his good friend and his excellent business
partner.

He could still remember the thunderous shock, the grief that had enveloped him when he heard the news, as if the skies above
had turned black.
Each mention of Leopold was like a thorn in his side, throbbing with pain.
He believed Thalassa felt the same.
“I didn’t bring all this up to upset you, but to tell you that Debby loved Leopold just as much as he loved you. When Leopold died,
she lost a part of herself. She blames you for occupying his heart, believes that his heartbreak over not having you drove him to
his end, which is why she did what she did,” Callum explained with a heavy heart.
Thalassa looked up, pushing back the tears, her eyes red as she tried to steady her voice, determined not to let it crack.
“Do you want me to plead for Debby?” Thalassa asked, voice quivering despite her best efforts.
After speaking, she quickly grabbed a tissue to dab away the tears that escaped her control, apologizing hastily, “Sorry, I lost my
composure.”
“It’s okay. If you need to cry, just let it out,” Callum said, his expression solemn, devoid of any mockery, filled instead with
empathy.
If Thalassa showed no emotion when speaking of Leopold, that would have worried Callum more.
The last thing Thalassa wanted was to be the butt of Callum’s jokes. They had barely scratched the surface of any serious
topics, and there she was, choked up
and
distressed, fearful of being laughed at.
