The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 453

What was gone was gone. The future was still promising, and a different life could be just as exciting.

She now had four adorable little angels, the highlights of her life.

After shaking off her thoughts, she stepped out of the house.

Lysander had given her three days off, and coupled with the weekend, it was a total of five days.

These past few days, Thalassa had been spending time in the neighborhood where she used to live, taking some time off.

Lysander hadn't bothered her either.

Everything was peaceful.

On Sunday afternoon, Thalassa went out to buy groceries and got ready to prepare dinner.

Just as she left the building, she noticed a sleek black Bentley parked nearby. A man dressed in a black turtleneck and a blue suit embellished with golden threads was leaning against the car, puffing on a cigarette.

It was Leopold!

Thalassa thought about pretending not to see him and walking straight past him.

Her wrist was grabbed, and she turned around to find herself facing Leopold's handsome face. His usually sunny eyes were now shaded with darkness. Half of the scab on his face had fallen off, with the other half still clinging to his cheek, looking like a black spider.

Where the scab had fallen off, the skin was tender and slightly red.

Thalassa tried to wriggle her wrist free. "Leopold, let me go!"

Leopold's gaze was fixed on her wrist. She was wearing the bracelet he had given her. A flicker of excitement passed through his eyes. "You've been wearing it?"

Thalassa was taken aback, realizing that he was referring to the bracelet on her wrist.

She replied, "I was just wearing it for fun. I'll take it off now."

When she left Vibrant Oasis Residences that day, she had put it on and forgotten to take it off. She hadn't expected Leopold to spot it.

As she was about to take it off, Leopold held onto the bracelet, preventing her from doing so. "It's just a piece of jewelry. It’s meant to be worn for fun. Keep it on; it looks good on you."

His gaze shifted to the necklace around her neck. She was wearing that too.
