The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 28

The other two kids, Atticus and Sophia, saw Dorian and Elowen being all cute in their mom's arms, but they just kept munching on their fries, not bothering to join in.

Out of the four adorable kids, Dorian and Elowen are the softies, always acting cute and cuddly.

Atticus and Sophia are more of the cold and distant type, not really the clingy ones.

Everyone's got their own personality, right?

Evelyn came out of the kitchen holding a plate of food, slammed it on the table, and said to Thalassa with a straight face, “Just now you're coming back? Did you get sacked again? We're flat broke. Can you work harder?”

Looking after four kids every day was no joke. The minute she took her eyes off them, they were gone! It scared the life out of her. If she had enough dough, she could hire a nanny to help her out, and she wouldn't be this worn out.

Sadly, her daughter hadn't really hit her stride yet and was still grinding at the bottom, barely making ends meet every month.

Evelyn was tired.

Thalassa, holding the hands of two kids, stood up and said to Evelyn, “Mom, I wasn't sacked. I just came to check in.”

“Thalassa’s back.” The bathroom door opened, and out came Hertha.

Thalassa, with a smile, said, “Hertha, you're here too.”

“Yep, came to help your mom watch the kids,” Hertha said.

To which Evelyn grumbled, “If it wasn’t for Hertha, we'd be starving today!”

After that, she shot Thalassa a disapproving look and headed back into the kitchen.

Thalassa scratched her head and kept silent.

She thought, if it weren't for that wad of cash her mom blew, they could've made it till payday.

“Hertha, thank you.” Thalassa expressed her gratitude.

Hertha waved it off and said, “We go way back, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. Plus, I’m their godmother, so it’s kind of my job too, right?”

Hertha’s words warmed Thalassa’s heart, and her eyes welled up.
