The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 384

Thalassa gently gripped the hand that Evelyn had used to smack her arm. Though Evelyn's intentions seemed violent, the hit did not hurt.

Thalassa knew that Evelyn was venting her intense worry in this way.

Looking at Evelyn, Thalassa comforted her, “Mom, it's fine, I’m good. I was just dealing with some work stuff. You don't need to worry.”

Knowing her mother's concern, Thalassa couldn't reveal what she had been going through in front of her four children. They were young but understood more than one might think.

She couldn't let them worry about her at such a tender age.

Evelyn wiped away her tears, trying to maintain her composure, “Alright, let's eat. You look thin.”

She knew Thalassa's reservations. As the children's grandmother, she deeply cared for them and didn't want them to understand the harsh realities of life at such a young age.

On the table, there was a plate of spaghetti.

Evelyn served some into Thalassa's bowl.

Thalassa smiled at Evelyn. It was a smile of reassurance to affirm her mother that she was fine.

Not wanting to disappoint her mother, she picked up her fork to eat the spaghetti.

However, the oiliness, coupled with the strong taste of the seasonings, was too much.

Upon tasting it, Thalassa felt a wave of nausea. She quickly stifled the feeling and spit out the mouthful. She wiped her mouth and took a sip of warm water to settle her stomach.

Her actions made Evelyn frown. “What's wrong? You don't like what I made?”

Thalassa quickly shook her head, “No, I had something to eat before I got here. I'm too full, I can't eat anymore.”

This was the truth.
