The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 765

Sophia’s laughter spread across her face; it was radiant and beautiful, a true reflection of her inner joy.

“Well, Mom, I don’t have anything to give you, but I did get praised by my teacher today. We put on a play and apparently, I did pretty well.” Dorian scratched his head, trying to think of something that would impress his mom.

Thalassa caressed his cheek, her voice soft as she said, “Dorian, you’re amazing.”

Dorian beamed at her affirmation.

Thalassa then turned to Atticus and asked gently, “Atticus, do you have anything to share with mom today?”

“Mom, the teacher made me the group leader to guide the others in our studies,” Atticus replied; his eyes were shining with pride.

“Wow, that’s fantastic! Being a group leader shows that you have leadership skills, Atticus.” Thalassa gave him a soft smile while affirming him and ruffling his hair.

All four kids reveled in their mother’s praise, their faces bright with happiness. When they clustered around Thalassa, their hearts filled with a sense of safety and security as they no longer feared losing her.

Thalassa, hand in hand with Elowen, was hopping around in circles with her. As she turned around, she met Lysander’s deep gaze. His look was genial as he watched her play with Elowen, seemingly in a good mood.

Thalassa felt her heart skip a beat as she caught sight of him.

Playing with the kids had made her forget her worries temporarily, but the sight of Lysander’s deep gaze tightened her chest. His presence seemed to remind her that she was under his control; even her access to her kids would rely on his approval. She could only be free to see her own kids when he was in a good mood.

The oppression, coupled with the constant fear of losing her kids, prevented her from fully relaxing.

That night, Thalassa wanted to sleep with Elowen or Sophia.

Elowen, having had a great day, was not as clingy as usual. After her bath, she climbed into bed and told Thalassa, “Goodnight, Mommy. You go to sleep with Dad. I won’t fight him for you anymore.”

Thalassa was taken aback, wondering why Elowen was saying things like that. Maybe Lysander said something to Elowen?
