The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 83

"Alright." Elowen lowered her lashes. Her enthusiasm from just a moment ago had faded as her long lashes hid the disappointment in her eyes.

Thalassa was taken aback, "Mom, I'm about to head to work. Why are you setting me up on a blind date?"

"The place is a restaurant near the Sinclair Group. You can go there now, have a meal, and then head to work. Get moving."

Evelyn grabbed her purse for her and nudged her out the door.

Thalassa had no choice but to leave.

Atticus and Dorian returned to their room and closed the door.

Atticus, acting all grown-up, said to Dorian, "Grandma's trying to find a stepdad for us."

Dorian pouted, "I don't want a stepdad."

"But if Mom likes him, we have to respect her decision." Atticus was a total mama's boy.

"But what if Mom doesn't like him?" Dorian was worried about his mom getting hurt.

"We'll go and sneak a peek, so we can see if Mom likes him or not." Atticus's eyes, full of young wisdom, glittered in the dark.

"Uh huh, alright." Dorian nodded vigorously.

After lunch, Atticus and Dorian wanted Astrid to take them outside to play.

Evelyn objected and told them to play at home.

Dorian's large, beautiful eyes filled with tears as he looked pitifully at Evelyn, "Grandma, I want to go to the park. I haven't been outside for so long that I'm actually getting moldy."
