The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 982

The little munchkins hurled themselves into Thalassa’s embrace, their cuddly little bodies melting into her arms. She nuzzled them affectionately with her cheek, her voice tender and soothing.

“Mommy’s here, sweethearts. Don't worry, no more tears.” Thalassa’s voice hitched, her eyes brimming with emotion.

“Mommy.” Sophia’s tiny hand reached up, dabbing at her tears.

“Mommy, we were so scared when you disappeared yesterday,” Dorian murmured, his little head burrowing into Thalassa’s chest, his voice laced with fear and vulnerability.

“Didn’t Daddy bring me back? You’ve got to believe, your dad is like a superhero—there’s nothing he can’t do,” Thalassa reassured them, her words wrapping them in comfort.

No sooner had she spoken than a chilly presence seemed to emanate from the staircase, the cold draft weaving through the air and tugging at nerves. Thalassa instinctively turned, meeting Lysander’s deep, inscrutable gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away, feigning composure.

Lysander remained silent, taking his seat at the dining table.

“Yeah, Daddy is like Superman, he’s so cool,” Dorian nodded, his wide, admiring eyes reflecting pure adoration.

Atticus pouted slightly, chiming in, “I’m super cool, too. I tracked Mommy’s phone yesterday.”

Dorian had always looked up to Atticus, his eyes filled with nothing but admiration for his older brother. But now, with Dorian starting to idolize someone else, Atticus felt a twinge of jealousy. Despite his usual aversion to bragging, he couldn’t help but mention his own contribution.

Dorian gazed at Atticus, nodding vigorously, “Yeah, Atticus is awesome! He used his computer to find Mommy’s phone and sent the location to Dad. Atticus is my hero!”

Atticus’ face broke into a smile at Dorian’s words of admiration.

Thalassa was stunned and overwhelmed as she turned towards Atticus; a realization suddenly dawned her.
