The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1285
Then Callum hobbled towards the windowsill, leaning heavily on his cane.
“Take it easy. I've got you,” Evelyn said without further comment, helping Callum
to the windowsill where he could sit down.
She then turned and glared at Thalassa, “I've never seen you fuss over such
trivial matters
before.”
Thalassa’s lashes fluttered down, and she remained silent.
“Don't be too hard on Thalassa,” Callum chimed in, his voice as mellow as ever,
a picture of unflappable calm. “The lunch I brought for you is all freshly made, not
leftovers. Try it to see if you like it.”
His easygoing nature only fueled Evelyn's impression that Thalassa was taking
advantage
of him.
Her brows knit together, she scolded Thalassa again, “Look at him, you could
learn a thing or two about grace.”
“Yes, Mom, I will,” Thalassa quickly replied, eager to stave off another lecture.
She opened up the lunchbox, and the aroma of the food instantly wafted out as
the lid was lifted.
Both Thalassa and Evelyn were famished. The smell of the food made their
stomachs audibly rumble.
Evelyn felt a tad embarrassed, patting her belly and chuckled, “Look at me,
becoming as
much of a foodie as Elowen.”
She gave Callum an apologetic grin, but he maintained his genial smile. “You're
just hungry, Evelyn. Let's eat,” he said.
“Yeah,” Evelyn agreed, handing a lunchbox to Thalassa before grabbing one for
herself and starting to eat.
Thalassa sat on one bed while Evelyn on another.
Callum sat by the window, his eyes softening as he watched them tuck into their
food, a wave of melancholy and guilt washing over him. “Evelyn, I'm sorry, when
you fell into the water, I should have been the first to jump in after you, but I curse
my useless legs and hands... I'm not much use to anyone.”
Hearing his words, Thalassa looked up at him and quickly reassured him, “Mr.
Gordon, don't blame yourself. We're so grateful for what you've done. With your
condition, jumping in wouldn't have helped. Besides, you were the one who
called the fisherman to save my mother.”

Thalassa was truly grateful. Callum had been incredibly helpful in her eyes.
Yet she couldn't help but feel like a burden to him.
“After all, it was Lysander who pulled Evelyn ashore. You're probably more
grateful to him right now,” Callum said, his gaze dropping slightly, as if he had
missed his chance to be the hero.
At the mention of Lysander’s name, Thalassa felt a heaviness in her chest akin to
a stone weighing her down.
Her feelings towards Lysander were complex with resentment, wariness, a desire
to flee, yet her heart would race uncontrollably whenever he drew near, leaving
her unsure of her true feelings for him.
“If it hadn't been for my mom nearly drowning, doubt he would have jumped in,”
Thalassa muttered with a sullen tone.
