The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 661

"What are the benefits besides giving the kids a complete home?" Lysander's deep voice broke the silence.

Thalassa, her heart aflutter from his gaze, managed to reply. "You wouldn't need to find a wife anymore, and I wouldn't be homeless. It's a win-win situation. Isn't it just like being roommates?"

Roommates?

A cold glint flashed in Lysander's deep-set eyes.

The air around him turned icy, and his facial features tightened.

"You still haven't grasped your position. Any woman can covet the position of Mrs. Sinclair, except you." He coldly retorted.

Thalassa's hopeful gaze collapsed in an instant. Her heart felt heavy, as if it were weighed down by a stone.

After a brief moment of disappointment, she laughed it off. "I see. Forgive me for not understanding your mind, Mr. Sinclair. I can't seem to please you. Let's sleep; I have work tomorrow."

No sooner had she lain down than she was pulled towards him. Thalassa couldn’t help but yelp in surprise.

The next moment, Lysander flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.

"You're wrong. You can please me."

"Wha... Mmm..." Thalassa, startled, was silenced by a sudden kiss. Her breath was completely stolen away.

The shadows of the trees outside their windows danced in the flickering room light.

In the morning, sunlight streamed in through the curtains, illuminating Thalassa's face and making her fair, oval face glow like a peeled egg.

The warmth of the sunlight roused Thalassa. She raised her hand to shield her eyes as her beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She then opened and closed her eyes to adjust to the light.

When she fully adjusted, she turned to see the other side of the bed empty.

Lysander had already gotten up.
