The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1836

"What do we do now?" Thalassa turned to Lysander, seeking his opinion.

Realizing that Joshua had been helping Susan because they shared a child together, and Susan was using the child to manipulate Joshua, everything started to make sense.

Joshua was in the dark about the child's whereabouts, but they had stumbled upon that information.

Given Susan's long list of offenses, they could apprehend her now.

However, the complication was that she had the child with her.

Susan's frantic demeanor earlier suggested she wouldn't hesitate to use the child as leverage if backed into a corner.

The fate of that child was uncertain under those circumstances.

Lysander met Thalassa's gaze, his eyes drilling into hers as he spoke in a low, magnetic tone, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Thalassa was taken aback.

"What should we do now?" Lysander clarified.

Thalassa quickly caught on—Lysander was leaving the decision up to her, considering Joshua was her father and the little boy, her half-brother.

Hating Joshua was her right, just as disregarding the child's safety was within her freedom to choose.

Of course, opting to help Joshua find the child, to place her trust in him once more, was also her prerogative.

Hesitating, Thalassa lowered her gaze, her eyelashes concealing the emotions swirling in her eyes.

Lysander's gaze remained deep and patient, waiting for her.

He knew she was torn, wrestling with her thoughts, and he didn't rush her, giving her time to contemplate.

Looking down at her feet, Thalassa pondered for a moment before looking up again, her eyes clear and determined.
