The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 663
She didn’t want to see him back down because of this and give up on the venture he had so strenuously prepared to embark on.
“Do you think I should continue?” Leopold asked Thalassa. His eyes were serious and solemn as he sought her advice.
Thalassa nodded. “Of course. This is the beginning of your new life. Just as I hope you and Debby will have a happy future
together.”
Leopold suddenly gripped her hand as his voice began to tremble with emotion. “Thalassa, there’s nothing between me and
Debby. We just had dinner together.”
He had contemplated giving up on Thalassa so he could find someone else and start anew.
He had given Debby a chance, hoping that by spending time with her, he could forget Thalassa and that fall for Debby.
Even when he saw Thalassa having dinner with Lysander, he deliberately stayed close to Debby, trying to show Thalassa that he
was capable of moving on.
But he found out that he couldn’t.
He couldn’t forget Thalassa. He couldn’t let her go, and he definitely couldn’t fall for Debby. He couldn’t even pretend to do so.
Giving up on Thalassa was as painful as carving out his own heart.
But if he didn’t give up, at least there would still be hope.
Thalassa felt his agitation and depth of feeling in his grip. Her heart nearly stopped as she quickly withdrew her hand from his,
avoiding his gaze. “Leopold, don’t do this. Debby’s great, and you should cherish her. I’m leaving.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
As she turned, a glimpse of a love bite on her neck was revealed under the movement of her skin.
Leopold’s eyes stung at the sight, and his heart felt like it had broken into a thousand pieces.
His fists clenched, and his entire body trembled as his eyes reddened in sorrow.

“Thalassa, where were you just now? I couldn’t find you.” Betty asked in a low voice as she noticed Thalassa’s quickened pace.
Thalassa answered, “I went to the restroom.”
“Oh, we’re about to have lunch soon. You should book a restaurant. Keep the receipt, so the company can reimburse you.”
“Sure.” Thalassa turned and walked out of the factory.
She glanced back at the machine where Leopold had been, but he was no longer there. She scanned the entire factory but didn’t
see him anywhere.
He must have left.
Thalassa lowered her gaze and exited the factory.
She was living a new life now, so she sincerely hoped that Leopold could let go of the past and start anew.
That would be best for both of them.
If Lysander found out she had seen Leopold, he would be furious.
Lysander’s anger was not something she or Leopold wanted to face.
She didn’t want Lysander to destroy Leopold’s new venture, nor did she want to see Lysander’s terrifying cruelty towards her.
Thalassa booked a restaurant near the factory, and at noon, she, Ethan, the factory manager, and a few other responsible
personnel had lunch.
Afterwards, Ethan took Thalassa and Betty back to the office.
In the afternoon, as Thalassa was about to report to Ethan in his office, a small figure suddenly burst from the office, crashing
into her legs with a childish “Ouch.”
