The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 864

Thalassa didn't respond to Evelyn's words. She just clung to her.

"Are you even listening to me?" Evelyn pushed her back to an upright position, her face twisted in frustration.

Evelyn was truly desperate. Her own daughter had given birth to four children for Lysander, and in the end, she had not even received a proper title or recognition, let alone the possibility of losing her children.

No one could accept such a fate.

"Yes..." Thalassa replied.

Evelyn's words also gave Thalassa a hint. If she wanted to break free from Lysander's control and leave with her children, she had to win his trust first.

Only then would she have a chance to do what she needed to do.

....

At night, Lysander slept alone in the master bedroom. The thought of Thalassa wanting to leave him, to cut all ties, was like a thread, tightly wrapped around his nerves.

His mood was gloomy and cold.

Finally, he fell asleep, only to be haunted by nightmares.

He was a child again, on the night before his father's accident.

His parents had a blazing argument, his mother smashing all the porcelain she could find, leaving a mess all over the floor.

Eight-year-old Lysander stood in a corner of the room, witnessing his parents argue intensely, their voices clashing like thunder and lightning.

Their voices filled the house.

They were supposed to be a loving couple, but they looked more like sworn enemies, their faces twisted in anger. The scene cast a huge shadow on young Lysander's heart.

His home was never warm. All his memories were tinged with gray.
