The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 189

But now, she felt like she was being blatantly disrespected and even slandered for supposedly climbing up the ladder through sneaky means.

This pure and unadulterated disdain hurt her to the core.

Just yesterday, she was full of hopes, wanting to create a complete family for her kids.

But today, life slapped her hard in the face.

Seeing her cry, Evelyn felt even more heartbroken. She quickly supported Thalassa's shoulders, making her lift her head, anxiously asking, "What on earth happened? Don't just cry. Tell me who's been messing with you; I'll make them pay!"

Thalassa was always the optimistic and cheerful type, like a forever invincible superhero, rarely shedding tears.

Evelyn remembered that Thalassa cried five years ago when she had to give up school because of her unstable pregnancy.

However, in the past five years, no matter how hard things were, she didn't shed a tear.

So what happened today?

"Mummy, what's wrong?" A soft voice rang out from her feet, and Thalassa's skirt was gently tugged.

Looking down through her teary and blurry vision, she saw a little girl with two braids, her big eyes filled with worry and concern, and her chubby little face looking up at her.

That was her daughter, Elowen.

Seeing the little girl, Thalassa's pain dissipated instantly. She quickly wiped her tears, forced a smile, and said, "Mummy's fine, just a bit tired. Just like how you guys come to mummy for a cuddle when you're tired, mummy's tired too and wanted a little cuddle."

"Mummy, if you're tired, I'll give you a hug." Dorian walked over urgently with his short legs and hugged Thalassa's legs. Even though his chest wasn't as wide as Thalassa's two legs, he still tried his best to embrace her.

"Mummy, stop crying; come sit on the couch then I'll give you a back rub." Atticus also came over, guiding her to the couch. He climbed up and started giving her a back rub in a very professional manner.
