The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 652

There was only one umbrella. Ethan held it up, Thalassa walked in the middle, and Leopold huddled close to her, pressing in to avoid the rain.

Since Thalassa and Leopold walked shoulder-to-shoulder, their bodies brushed against each other.

Thalassa's breath hitched, and her gaze involuntarily slid to the side, meeting Leopold's hopeful yet depressed eyes. She felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart stuttered.

She quickly averted her gaze. She was too scared to look again.

“What did you see?” Leopold’s voice was as smooth as velvet. Creating a melancholic sweetness in the damp, rainy air.

“I didn’t see anything.” Thalassa replied quietly, still looking straight ahead.

“Leopold, come over here. I have an extra umbrella. It’s ridiculous for all three of us to be crammed under one.” Zephyr came over and handed Leopold an umbrella as his hawk-like gaze sternly scrutinized Thalassa.

The look he gave her was filled with hostility, making Thalassa’s heart skip and jump in fear. She understood that Zephyr wasn't fond of her.

She didn't say anything and just continued walking with Ethan.

Leopold reluctantly took the umbrella from Zephyr and watched Thalassa walk away with a lost and saddened expression on his face.

The rain was falling lightly, wetting his thick eyebrows. The raindrops slid down his lashes, finally landing in his eyes and sliding down his cheeks, making it hard to tell where the tears began and the rain ended.

Ethan led Thalassa to his car and opened the door for her. Just as she was about to get in, a hand suddenly pressed against the door, closing it and blocking her from entering.

As she looked up in surprise, Thalassa saw Lysander's icy expression, and her breath involuntarily hitched.

"My car is over there. Get in." Lysander's voice was low and brooding, leaving her no room for discussion.

There were many people attending the funeral who hadn't left yet, and many eyes were watching them from the parking lot. Thalassa didn't want to get into his car.
