The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 819

"Ah, it's out of my hands," Evelyn sighed abruptly. She'd just had a brief visit with her grandchildren and it tugged at her heartstrings to see them leave so soon. But she couldn’t do anything about it.

Times have changed.

The kids used to be hers and Thalassa's; their meals, their playtime, their bedtime, everything revolved around them. They were free to take the kids wherever they pleased.

Now, the kids were taken away by their father. Everything depended on his whims.

Knowing that Thalassa had fought hard for this opportunity to spend time with the kids, Evelyn cherished these moments of playing with them.

By 10 p.m., Evelyn said, "It's getting late and you all should head home to bed. You can come over to grandma's again during the holidays."

"Grandma, I want to sleep with you," Elowen said.

"Me too, I want to sleep with grandma," Sophia raised her hand.

"Me too!" Dorian chimed in.

"Same here," Atticus surprisingly didn't mind sharing a bed with the others.

Seeing the kids’ eager faces, Evelyn couldn't help but smile; her eyes were welling up with tears as she said, "My dears, if only grandma and your mom had a place of our own. This place is too small; we only have two rooms and the beds are small too. Plus, this is a rented place so you never know when we'll be kicked out. You kids will have a more stable life with your dad, with an independent room for each of you. It’s much more spacious."

Evelyn knew it was best for the kids to stay with their father, Lysander, as he could provide better living conditions and better futures for them.

The kids had already gone through tough times with them for four years; it was enough to break Evelyn's heart.

Hearing Evelyn's words, Thalassa felt a pang in her heart. That was right. She still didn't have a place of her own.
