The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 925

After a moment of thought, Thalassa decided to give Lysander a call.

She shouldn't take the fifty million.

The phone rang for a while before being picked up.

Lysander didn't utter a word, but the heavy silence on the other end was almost palpable, sending a wave of anxiety through her.

"Lysander, I have received the fifty million but I think I should give it back to you," Thalassa blurted out, urgency lacing her voice.

"The necklace was a gift to you, so it's yours," Lysander's deep, resonant voice finally broke the silence.

"But..."

Before Thalassa could say another word, the line went dead.

Thalassa pulled the phone away from her ear, staring at the screen, which now displayed the call had ended. She took a deep breath.

Since Lysander had said so, she decided to keep it.

Descending the stairs, Thalassa found Evelyn cleaning up after dinner.

"Thalassa, are you going to eat? If not, I'll start doing the dishes," Evelyn called out upon seeing her coming down.

"I'll have a little. Your cooking is always too good to pass up," Thalassa said, a warm smile playing on her lips, her words sweet as honey.

Evelyn chuckled, "You always know just what to say."

Pleased, Evelyn piled more food into Thalassa's plate.

"I mean it; the meals you made are genuinely delicious," Thalassa added, seated at the dining table, eating heartily.

She wanted Evelyn to feel appreciated and needed; it always lifted her spirits.

"Eat up, then," Evelyn encouraged.

"Sure. Oh, and I'll bring the kids over on Saturday. They've been asking about you, but they've got school this week and we can't have them up late and sleepy," Thalassa suggested.

"That would be lovely, dear. The house is spacious enough now for them to run around. They'll have fun," Evelyn replied with enthusiasm.
