The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1050

Evelyn could feel the ice in Lysander's aura, and she scrambled to smooth things over.

"Look, Thalassa didn’t mean anything bad. She just took us out for a trip. Once the trip is over, we’ll head back. The kids were even asking why their dad didn’t come along for the vacation." she said, her voice tinged with panic, uncertain if Lysander would believe that Thalassa wasn’t attempting to flee.

Lysander was an intense man. His presence was dominating, and his style of action was swift and unforgiving. He didn’t hold back when he beat Callum.

Evelyn was terrified Lysander might harm Thalassa. She rambled on in desperation, hoping to defuse the tension.

But Lysander seemed not to hear her as if she were invisible. His deep eyes locked onto Thalassa as a silent pressure.

The air grew thick, almost suffocating. Thalassa felt a chill run down her spine, her body tensing uncomfortably.

Her anger at Lysander, which had erupted just moments before, was now retreating under his intense gaze.

Though she was in the right, she felt forced to bow her head in front of Lysander.

Her indignation wilted under his cold, penetrating stare. Her eyes dropped, and she nervously twisted her hands together. She had wanted to confront Lysander, demand an explanation, but instead, she found herself subdued, like a child caught misbehaving.

Lysander remained silent, but his oppressive silence and menacing gaze were more intimidating than any words, evoking dread.

...

Meanwhile, at Moon Retreat, Callum lay on the ground with his broken leg. He gasped in pain and sweat beaded on his forehead.
