The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 327
She didn’t quite figure out why Lysander was asking for her opinion on whether to sign the contract for the gourmet competition.
Had Faye helped him make such decisions before? Thalassa pondered for a long time but still couldn’t figure out Lysander’s
intentions. Lysander was a strange one, with his unpredictable mood swings and incomprehensible character.
With a heavy heart, she finally survived the workday. Lysander didn’t look for her again, which eased her anxiety a bit. When it
was time to clock out, she left the secretary’s office straight away, not bothering to wait for Lysander to leave the office like she
did the first time.
She headed to the mall to pick up her tailor-made suit and then took the bus home. On the bus, she inspected the suit and was
very satisfied with its quality. It was almost identical to the one Leopold had given her before. The best part was that the suit only
cost her a few dozen of bucks. If she had gone for a suit from a global brand, that would have set her back a whopping twenty
grand!
Solving a twenty-grand problem with just a few dozen bucks, Thalassa felt a sense of accomplishment.
It just went to show, the more skills one had, the better. It never hurt, right?
When she reached her neighborhood, Thalassa saw two little girls playing with a puppy from a distance. The puppy was
standing a meter away from the girls, yapping loudly, trying to show off its toughness. The girls, both around four years old, were
Sophia, with short hair and wearing overalls, and Elowen, with two braids and chubby cheeks. Elowen held onto the back of
Sophia’s clothes, looking a bit scared. Sophia was trying to protect Elowen with her little hand and said in her childish voice,
“Don’t be scared, Elowen. I’ll protect you,” After that, Sophia yapped at the puppy, trying to show that she was tougher and was
trying to scare it away. It was a heart-melting scene.
The puppy, scared by Sophia’s voice, stopped barking. It whimpered a few times before running off to a big dog nearby. It was
the puppy’s mother. The puppy snuggled into the mother’s arms, seeking comfort. The mother dog gently licked the puppy’s
head. Seeing that, Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh. She walked over to the girls.
Sophia, who had just scared the puppy away, turned around and gently patted Elowen’s back, saying, “Don’t be scared, I’ll
protect you.”
“Elowen, Sophia, why are you two playing downstairs? Where’s your grandma?” Thalassa asked as she approached them; she
was concerned about their safety. Hearing a familiar voice, the two girls turned, and their eyes lit up with excitement. They ran

towards Thalassa, shouting, “Mommy!”
The two girls threw themselves into Thalassa’s arms. Thalassa bent down and hugged them, kissing their little faces. Their
softness and the smell of milk made her heart flutter. Coming home to kiss her kids every day was pure bliss.
“Mommy, Sophia and I were taking out the trash. Grandma is cooking delicious food,” Elowen happily informed Thalassa.
“Alright, let’s go have some of that delicious food,” Thalassa said, leading them back home.
As soon as they walked in, the aroma of food filled the air. Thalassa hadn’t eaten lunch and was starving. The smell of the food
made her mouth water. She was famished. She quickly washed her hands, grabbed some utensils, and started eating.
Evelyn, seeing Thalassa devouring the food like she hadn’t eaten in days, frowned and said, “Look at you, eating like you haven’t
eaten in ages.”
“I didn’t eat lunch. That’s why I’m starving,” Thalassa explained her situation with her mouth full.
“Eat up, then go pick up Isabella and her mother from the hospital. They’re being discharged today,” Evelyn said.
“Why do I have to pick them up?” Thalassa asked, puzzled.
“Didn’t your company assign you a car? Go pick them up in that fancy car of yours. Show Isabella and her mother that you can
also drive a luxury car. We won’t let them look down on us!” Evelyn remembered how Isabella had shown off her luxury car and
belittled Thalassa’s family for taking the train the last time they visited their hometown.
