The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 983
Thalassa stood awkwardly for a moment before regaining her composure and meeting Lysander’s deep gaze.
He looked at her intently, his silence as commanding as any spoken order.
Under the weight of his daunting stare, Thalassa felt an immense pressure. She dared not hesitate any longer. Silently, she took
her seat next to him, picked up her utensils, and began to eat her breakfast.
“Mommy, I want you to drive us to school today,” Elowen declared, her cheeks puffed out with food, her words muffled as she
spoke, resembling a little goldfish..
“Me too!” Sophia chimed in, raising her spoon enthusiastically.
“I want Mommy to take us too,” Dorian added with a pleading expression, his large glossy eyes blinking innocently.
Thalassa glanced at Lysander, who was calmly eating his breakfast without any sign of intervention.
Understanding his silent approval, she responded to her children, “Alright, after breakfast, Mommy will take you to school.”
“Mommy, you have to come pick us up later, okay? I don’t want Fitch to do it. I miss you and feel like crying when I don’t see
you,” Elowen said, her little nose beginning to turn red as tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her chubby little hand to wipe
them away. Thalassa’s heart ached at the sight of their adorable, plaintive expressions. How could she possibly say no to such a
request?
“Okay, Mommy will come pick you up after school. Eat up now, you need a full belly to have energy for the day.” Thalassa added
a plump strawberry to each of their bowls.
“Yeah, I gotta eat fast so I can grow tall and protect Mommy,” Elowen said, her chubby hand struggling to scoop up the
strawberry with her spoon before popping it into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a fish’s as she chewed.
She was just too cute for words.
Thalassa watched them with a smile brimming with maternal love, a warmth that seemed to radiate from her very eyes.
Lysander glanced back unintentionally and caught Thalassa’s tender gaze, filled with laughter and warmth.

A ripple stirred in his deep eyes, and his hand paused momentarily as he held his utensil.
After a brief pause, he resumed his breakfast with composed elegance.
After finishing breakfast, Lysander left for the office.
Thalassa called the children to pack their backpacks and prepared to leave.
Fitch offered to drive them, but Thalassa intervened, “Fitch, I’ll drive the kids to school myself. The sedan is just the right size for
the five of us, and it’s less conspicuous than the big nanny van.”
“You can drive?” Fitch inquired.
“Yes, I’ve driven before, and it’ll be fine,” Thalassa assured.
Seeing her determination, Fitch relented.
Thalassa drove the sleek black sedan from Royal Estates, with the four children in tow.
Atticus sat in the front passenger seat, while the other three little ones were secured in the back with their child seats.
The drive to Starhaven International Kindergarten would take them past a park, and Thalassa decided to stop there, parking the
car neatly.
“Let’s sit by the lake for a bit before we head to school, Thalassa suggested to the children.
“Yeah, I love going to the park with Mommy,” Elowen beamed, her bright eyes sparkling, dimples showing with her smile.
The children were always well-behaved with Thalassa.
Sitting beside Atticus, Thalassa inquired, “Atticus, if you were to use your hacking skills to get into a phone or a computer, could
you delete specific files from it?”
