The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1559

Before he slipped into unconsciousness, he made a promise to her, swearing on his life to protect her. After that, they would be even, no debts between them.

Hertha returned to her parents' house.

Kimberly and Ashton were busy playing with the kids.

"Julian, Helena, are you guys hidden yet? Grandma's done counting and coming to find you," Kimberly said with a voice full of tenderness and warmth.

"We're hidden."

"We're hidden."

The two little ones replied with their soft, cute voices.

Hertha looked towards the source of the voices and saw one little tyke trying to squeeze under the sofa, failing miserably with his little bottom sticking out.

Another was hiding behind the curtains, shoes peeking out, thinking he was completely invisible by pressing further into the drapes—a classic case of 'if I can't see you, you can't see me.'

Only kids could be so innocently clueless.

Of course, Kimberly immediately saw through their amateurish hide-and-seek tactics, barely containing her laughter.

Just as she was about to seek them, she caught sight of Hertha walking in. Instead of continuing the game, she said, "Oh my, Julian and Helena are so well hidden, Grandma can't find you anywhere."

While saying this, she gestured to Ashton, whispering, "Keep an eye on the kids."
