The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 380

Elowen had started searching for her mother on the show.

She said her mom had been missing for four days. Wasn't she referring to her?

Through the TV, Elowen's sweet and serious voice could be heard.

"My mom's name's easy to remember, it's sweet, it's warm."

Thalassa was taken aback, her heart pounding in her chest.

In her ears was the sound of Elowen on the brink of saying her name.

Before her, Lysander's body radiated a cold aura. His slender fingers gripping her chin, his handsome face exuding a chilling pressure.

It was the tension of being surrounded by predators, nerves strung tight, ready to snap at any moment.

"My mom's name is,"

Suddenly, as Elowen was about to say her mother's name, the sound abruptly stopped. The TV screen went black, and the lights in the living room went out as well.

Thalassa breathed a sigh of relief. Her hair and her back were drenched in sweat.

It was afternoon, at dusk, the natural light was weak, and with the lights off, the brightness of the surroundings decreased a notch.

But this did not prevent Lysander from seeing every expression on Thalassa's face. He said he wouldn't grant her wish, and she was so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

He held her face, drawing her closer to him. It was so close that he could feel her slightly ragged breaths.

He gritted his teeth slightly, his cold breath blowing on her face. "Want to have a child with me, huh?"

Thalassa's nerves, which had just relaxed a bit, tensed up instantly. In her clear eyes, panic emerged which she couldn't control. She hurriedly said, "I've taken the contraceptive pill. Don't worry, I won't get pregnant. I know you don't like children, and I won't delude myself."

Just now he had asked her if she liked children.

She said yes.

He said he wouldn't grant her wish.

She hadn't had time to digest what he meant by that.
