The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 536

The little ones were eager and overjoyed at the prospect of seeing their mother soon. They scurried towards the exit with lightning-fast steps.

But as they neared the door, the path was blocked by two towering figures.

Sophia, who was leading the pack, could not halt her steps in time. She crashed into one of the bodyguards, who managed to catch her in time, reducing the impact so that she did not fall.

The other three tumbled into the mix, creating a pile of excited children. It was a near-disaster, but the brawny bodyguards were able to prevent any serious mishaps by each catching two children in their arms.

"Let go! Our mom is waiting for us outside. She'll be upset if she has to wait too long," pleaded Dorian, struggling in the arms of the bodyguard. His young, sweet voice was full of longing and concern.

The bodyguards did not release the children but instead turned to Lysander for guidance.

Lysander did not respond immediately. So, the bodyguards stayed their course. Atticus furrowed in frustration. He also looked to Lysander, awaiting his decision.

Just as Lysander was about to speak, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Zephyr.

As soon as he answered the call, Zephyr's voice, deep and filled with suppressed irritation, came through. "Lysander, the three months we agreed on are up. What are you planning to do about your relationship with Thalassa?"

During the observance of Lysander's parents' memorial, Zephyr and Lysander had agreed to allow Lysander three months to understand Thalassa better. If Thalassa proved to be a good match for Lysander, Zephyr would support their union fully.

But if Thalassa turned out to be a manipulative gold-digger, Lysander was to sever all ties with her.

That day marked the end of those three months.

Upon hearing that, Lysander's calm demeanor darkened considerably. "I will handle it," he assured Zephyr.
