The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 622

Looking at Evelyn's panic and tears, Thalassa felt a heart-wrenching helplessness.

Why would Evelyn think that talking to Grandma Sybil or Grandpa Zephyr could change Lysander's decision not to marry her?

Thalassa swallowed, weakly saying to Evelyn, "Mom, do you think Lysander's refusal to marry me is simply because he looks down on me?"

"What else could it be? It's because you don't have power or status or a good family background. That's why the Sinclairs look down on you. I thought that if I could convince the elders of the Sinclair family, at least I could fight for your chance to marry Lysander. You are my daughter; how could I bear to see you being bullied like this?” Evelyn’s hand, gripping Thalassa's, trembled slightly.

She didn't want to see Thalassa spend her life alone and miserable. She had given birth to four children, all fathered by Lysander.

If Lysander didn't marry her, no one else would.

Evelyn, who had been single all her life and struggled alone, knew all too well the bitterness of the situation.

She didn't want her daughter to suffer the same fate.

Thalassa held Evelyn's hand in return, her eyes wet with understanding. She knew she had caused her mother to worry.

In despair, she confessed, "Mom, I've always kept this from you, afraid you'd blame yourself. Lysander's refusal to marry me isn't because he looks down on me. It's because Bruce is my father. You don't know that Lysander's parents died because of Bruce. He hates me to the bone. How could he possibly marry me?”

So, Evelyn's attempt to plead with Lysander's grandparents for her to marry him was doomed to fail.

She had always kept that from Evelyn, afraid that she would blame herself for Lysander's prejudice against her.

She hadn't expected this to happen.

"What?" Evelyn's tear-filled eyes widened in shock.

After a second of stunned silence, she burst into tears, gripping Thalassa's hand tightly, her voice filled with regret, "Thalassa, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault!”
