The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 779

David acknowledged and took the lead.

Thalassa's eyes widened with a mix of shock and realization as she looked at Lysander.

That’s right. Her necklace had a GPS tracker. Just because she couldn't find it, didn't mean Lysander couldn't.

In her panic, fearing Lysander’s wrath for losing the necklace, she had completely forgotten about the tracker. Lysander could easily locate the necklace.

"It's just a missing necklace. There’s no need to hide it from me. I'm not going to eat you alive," Lysander said as he shifted his gaze to her.

Thalassa quickly replied, "I understand."

But inside, she was grumbling, 'If anyone's going to 'eat me alive', it would be you! Every time you lose your temper, it's hell for me.'

"Have you been avoiding me by not going to the Royal Estates these past few days?" Lysander asked, lifting her chin with his index finger to face him.

If he wasn't seeking her out, she'd probably keep hiding.

Did she really think hiding would solve everything?

Thalassa hesitated before explaining, "Not at all. My mom hasn't been well lately. I went home to comfort her. I miss our kids and want to visit the Royal Estates, but I can't ignore my mom."

Thalassa's absence from the Royal Estates was partly to avoid Lysander and to allow her worn-out body to recover. Plus, her work schedule had been hectic that week so she simply didn't have the energy to deal with Lysander.

But another part of it was truly about accompanying and comforting her mother, Evelyn.

Last time, she had accidentally injured Bruce's head. Bruce's wife, who was caring for him in the hospital, somehow found out about Bruce's relationship with Evelyn.

Bruce's wife had confronted Evelyn several times, hurling insults at her. It took a call to the police to resolve the situation.

As Lysander stared into her clear eyes. Her gaze was a bit rattled but honest. She wasn't lying.
