The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 300

Thalassa and Evelyn headed out with four kids in tow, off to browse the nearby mall.

Usually, Evelyn didn't let Thalassa take the kids to places where they might splurge a lot.

But today, the kids had been waiting for Thalassa to return home, feeling a bit spooked and hard done by.

The kids were pretty savvy, not throwing tantrums even when they were scared, saving her from a headache. So, Evelyn figured that they deserved a treat for handling the situation calmly and off to the mall they went.

Inside the mall, Sophia instantly glued herself to a toy store and refused to budge.

Her eyes were fixed on a circular pendant that looked like it had been dug out of the dirt, with cracks filled with soil stains that wouldn't wash off, looking all grubby and worn.

Thalassa squatted down and asked her, "Sophia, do you want to buy a toy?"

Sophia, full of excitement, nodded, "Yeah."

Thalassa pointed at the plush toy area and asked her with a smile, "Which plush toy do you like? Just pick one and I'll buy it."

Sophia pointed her small hand towards that circular pendant in the corner, "I want this."

Thalassa followed Sophia's pointing finger, seeing an old circular pendant, she said, "This probably isn't for sale, right? Just some old junk?"

Feeling perplexed, thinking there was nothing fun about it, she suggested to Sophia, "How about you pick something else, okay?"

Sophia shook her head, her eyes full of stubbornness and disappointment. She just wanted that circular pendant.

Seeing Sophia's expression, Thalassa felt a pang in her heart. She didn't want to upset her daughter, so she walked into the toy store and asked the shopkeeper, "Excuse me, how much for that circular pendant?"
