The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 468

Thalassa's heart pounded within her chest and her hands were tugging at her shirt as if they were tearing the fabric apart. That’s when a familiar voice rang out.

"Alright, get back to work. Sophia needs to get ready for school, so I'll talk to you later. Bye."

With that, the call ended.

Thalassa heaved a sigh of relief, turning her gaze towards Lysander. His deep, penetrating gaze met hers, filling her with unease.

"Next time, don't use such sweet words with others." Lysander's voice was icy as he handed her back her phone.

Thalassa was puzzled, "But that was just a four-year-old kid."

"I said no, and I mean it!" Lysander's tone was assertive, his eyes piercing.

"I understand." Thalassa lowered her gaze in acquiescence.

But inside, she was grumbling. People would think he’s even jealous of a child; but the truth is, this super domineering man is controlling me in every way possible. She thought.

He didn't want her getting too close to other men.

He didn't want her to express any affection toward others.

He was trying to mold her entire being to his liking.

This realization left Thalassa feeling suffocated.

With a final, piercing glance, Lysander turned and left the room.

The air was not as tense as before, so Thalassa breathed a sigh of relief.

She tidied up and descended the stairs, but found Lysander was nowhere to be seen.

She asked Fitch, "Where did Lysander go?"

"He's working in the study. Ms. Everhart, breakfast is ready. Please eat." Fitch was as respectful and polite as always.

Despite the previous day's events, Fitch's attitude towards Thalassa hadn't changed.
