The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 530
Fitch finished his task and retreated back into the house, busying himself with his own affairs.
They were still reeling from the shock of Lysander suddenly becoming a father to four children.
It was definitely going to take time to digest it all..
Thalassa stared at the closing gates of the mansion as tears trickled down her cheeks. Her heart ached as if someone was
tearing it apart piece by piece, the pain was palpable.
Evelyn asked, “Thalassa, what do you think Lysander is up to? Does he only want the children and not you?”
While on the road, Evelyn was hopeful that upon learning he was the father of the children, Lysander would no longer look down
on Thalassa and might even propose to her.
However, when they arrived at Royal Estates, he directly took the children and left them outside the gate.
His attitude was clear; he wanted the children, not the mother of his children.
Wiping her tears, Thalassa turned to Evelyn and said, “Let’s go home.”
“You’re just giving up like that?” Evelyn was incredulous. Even though the children were with their father, it meant that from then
on, they would not need her for anything.
Evelyn had raised the four children and had already grown deep emotional ties with them. The sudden separation was
suffocating her.
“It’s not giving up. It’s just a temporary retreat,” Thalassa tried to reassure Evelyn.
How could she give up her own children?
But then, with Lysander shutting them out so decisively, she didn’t have the chance to negotiate with him face-to-face.
She had to retreat for the time being, gather her strength, and find a way to see her children again.
Evelyn’s gaze fell, and her disappointment was clear, “He’s being so heartless to you, the children’s own mother?”

“Let’s discuss this at home,” Thalassa didn’t want to discuss Lysander there.
If he heard them, it would have triggered another disaster.
“Ms. Everhart, let me drive you home,” a man dressed in a black suit said. His tone was courteous yet distant.
Thalassa recognized him. He was the regular driver for Royal Estates. It was always him who drove her away from the property.
Given that it was late, there wouldn’t be any taxis around in that affluent neighborhood..
Thalassa didn’t refuse and she and Evelyn got into the car.
Upon returning to their residence at Vibrant Oasis, everything was as they had left it.
The children’s toys were scattered around the room. There was a baby bottle on the table. Its nipple still stained with Elowen’s
leftover milk. It looked so soft, so cute as if the little one was
still there.
Thalassa’s heart ached, and her eyes welling up again.
Evelyn started to grumble, “When did you find out Lysander is the father of the children? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
On a regular day, Evelyn felt overwhelmed and tired of taking care of the four children alone.
But since they were suddenly taken away from her, she felt a void in her heart and home.
She was disoriented and distressed.
“During our last encounter in Hollowbrook, when the neighbor accused me of stealing that pendant, Lysander came to my
rescue. That’s when I found out that he was the owner of the pendant and the father of the children, Thalassa confessed. Her
voice was low and weary.
“What? You’ve known for that long that Lysander is the father? You hid it so well, even from me. And you’ve been dating him,
claiming it was all about love! I think you’ve lost your mind!” Evelyn, channeling her despair into anger, jabbed a finger at
Thalassa’s forehead,

Thalassa, already upset about the children being taken away and then accused by Evelyn, responded with a mix of sadness and
anger, her eyes filled with tears, “Do you think I wanted this? If I had a choice, do you think I would have run?”
Thalassa’s voice was not harsh but it was suppressed, restrained, and carried a hint of a sob.
