The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 2060

Hertha was over the moon, and even in her joy, she couldn't resist teasing Thalassa.

It was one of those blissful moments that made everything seem brighter and more fun.

With a laugh, Thalassa said, "Why should I save money for Lysander? He can definitely afford dinner, but we've got movie plans tonight. Let's raincheck?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, aiming for some alone time, huh? Afraid we'll crash your romantic date?" Hertha teased her with a grin.

Her smile was unshakeable ever since she found out Thalassa and Lysander had made it official. It was as if Thalassa's happiness brought her even more joy than her own milestones.

"You didn't exactly throw us a dinner party when you two eloped, did you? Kept it all hush-hush, only to spill the beans after enjoying your little love bubble for days," Thalassa shot back, poking fun at Hertha and Alaric's own secretive celebration.

Her words were an admission of wanting that same kind of intimate world with Lysander, away from any potential third wheels.

They hadn't even been to the movies together yet, a classic couple's activity that Thalassa didn't want spoiled by Hertha and Alaric's glaring presence.

"Ha, Thalassa, since when did you get so eager to foster a deeper bond with Lysander? What's up, worried that your connection isn't solid as a rock yet?" Hertha noticed Thalassa's unabashed longing to strengthen her relationship, teasing her further.

Her comment made Thalassa's heart skip a beat, gripping her phone a tad tighter.

For some reason, Hertha's words struck a nerve, poking at a tender spot deep within.

Was she really worried about the strength of her relationship with Lysander?
