The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 33

Thalassa felt heaviness in her chest, like a wad of cotton was stuck in her throat, it was suffocating, even making it difficult to breathe.

In regards to their father, she had explained to the children that they didn't have one.

She alone had carried them all.

She had always thought that they were too young to understand, they would believe her words.

But it never occurred to her that the children actually missed their father in secret, even teamed up to find him.

That was why they went to the Sinclair group.

Thalassa couldn't blame them, and couldn't bear to either.

This was her problem. She deprived her four children of a father's love at a young age.

But every time she thought of the man who forced his way into her life five years ago, Thalassa was filled with anger and hatred.

She wanted to find that man and settle the score, but where could she find him?

When she saw Lysander, she noticed he had some similarities with Atticus and Dorian. Atticus' eyes and temperament were similar to Lysander's, and Dorian's lips and nose also looked like him.

But their father couldn't possibly be him.

He is the CEO of the Sinclair group. His whereabouts would either be in business places or high-end venues.

How could he possibly go to a remote and poor place like Hollowbrook?

That man had fallen from a helicopter, with his body covered in wounds.

Thalassa speculated that the man might be a criminal or a soldier.

And Lysander was just a businessman, he wouldn't be fighting in the air, get injured and then fall from the sky right next to her.

The resemblance between Atticus and Dorian and him could just be a coincidence.

Thalassa gently smiled, stroking Dorian's head, under his hopeful gaze, she said to him, "Dorian, Lysander is not your father. I don't know who your father is now, but once I do, I'll tell you right away, okay?"

Dorian choked up, his head lowered, tears slid from his innocent eyes, his face filled with disappointment.

So, Lysander really wasn't their father.

He was heartbroken.

Atticus had held back his tears until now, but hearing Thalassa say Lysander wasn't their father, his eyes instantly became red, tears swirling, he bit his lip, it quivered a little.

He tried to hold back the tears, but they fell anyway.

Atticus was the oldest, who was usually the most sensible, and rarely cried, but now he couldn't help it.

The action to find their father was organized by him, taking his siblings together. He had even searched a lot about Lysander online, always thought that he was their father.

However, hearing Thalassa deny it, Atticus's belief collapsed in an instant.

Thalassa turned her head, seeing Atticus crying surprised her, she cautiously asked him, "Atticus, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Atticus said, leaving his mother's embrace, walked into his room, and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, his tears instantly burst out, he even started to sob, but he tried hard not to make a crying noise.

Atticus was acting out of character, Thalassa was worried, Hertha also noticed Atticus's abnormality, exchanged a glance with Thalassa, seeing the worry in her eyes.

She gestured towards the door, indicating whether she needed to check on him.

Thalassa shook her head, indicating that it wasn't needed, Atticus had always been a sensible child, more mature than children his age, him quickly entering his room surely didn't want anyone to see him cry.
