The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 278

Evelyn wouldn't let Thalassa go out to buy fried chicken, and Thalassa knew it was going to be a hard sell to convince her.

But when she saw Elowen's cute little face, with her eyes filled with anticipation, then the immediate look of disappointment, Thalassa’s heart ached.

Cradling Elowen, Thalassa whispered in her ear, "Mom ordered fried chicken legs and fries for delivery. When they get here, we'll enjoy the surprise together, okay?”

Elowen immediately burst into laughter. "Yes.”

Realizing she might have been a tad too loud and could spill the beans on their little secret, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Still, the joy on her face was unmistakable.

After leaving work early in the afternoon, Lysander went to the cemetery.

Zephyr and Sybil were already waiting for him there.

In front of them were two gravestones, one for Lysander's father, Barnett Sinclair, and the other for his mother, Belinda Sinclair.

The setting sun cast a glow on the two gravestones, illuminating the pictures on them and giving off a deep sense of sorrow.

The shadows of the surrounding trees swayed in the wind, adding to the melancholic atmosphere.

Holding two bouquets, Lysander approached the graves. One bouquet of carnations he placed in front of Belinda's grave, and a bouquet of marigolds in front of Barnett's.

Lysander's parents died when he was very young.

His memories of them had become blurry.

Even looking at their photos, he couldn't recall the times he spent with them as a child.

His memories of his parents were very few, mainly of them fighting, with their things smashed all over the house.
