The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1817

Lysander said, "Let's head back to Royal Estates."

"Actually, could you drop me off at the military academy first?" Atticus Sinclair spoke up.

As soon as he said this, both Thalassa and Lysander turned to look at him, their eyes filled with reluctance. They had only just reunited, and now Atticus Sinclair was going back to the academy?

After Atticus spoke, he saw his parents looking at him with eyes full of longing, making his heart ache. He too didn't want to part with them so soon. But, rules were rules.

Atticus said, "I got a half-day leave from the drill sergeant, and it's almost over. I have to go back. Can't break my word."

Lysander felt proud of his words: "That's my boy, a soldier through and through."

"How are your siblings adjusting to their studies?" Thalassa knew they couldn't keep Atticus any longer, but she still couldn't help feeling sad. Kids grow up, find their own place in the world, and need to spread their wings. Her love couldn't be the chain that held them back. The best kind of love was letting go when it's time, allowing them to soar freely.

Thalassa was still worried about Dorian, Elowen, and Sophia. This time, she only saw Atticus. She hadn't seen the other three, and it weighed on her heart.

Atticus said, "They're doing great. Especially Dorian. He's like a fish in water, getting along with everyone. He's the center of attention, and even the instructors like him."

"And Elowen, ever since she joined the academy, the cafeteria's menu got a major upgrade. She could probably eat the place out of house and home."
