The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 828

Thalassa’s hair was a little tousled under his touch. She attempted to dodge his hand but froze in place.

Because she seemed to see a shed of tears shimmering under the reflection of the glistening lake in his amber eyes.

His words made her heart sink heavily; a dull pain spreading from her chest inhibited his breath.

She understood very well the meaning of Leopold's words.

If it weren't for him visiting her house during that summer vacation, she wouldn't have been locked in the barn by Isabella, and Lysander wouldn't have taken advantage of her vulnerability.

And he wouldn't have been drugged by Isabella. That incident wouldn’t have happened as well.

If it weren't for that accident, they would have been together long ago.

She quickly came back to her senses. She stood up and said, "It's getting late and I need to get back to the office."

Leopold stood up with her, blocking her path with a smile on his face, "I was just joking with you. Don’t be scared."
