The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 8

Thalassa was making a beeline for the two kids, but the little rascals beat her to the elevator. The doors were just about to close.

“Hold up!” Thalassa called out hastily

She bolted into the elevator, frantically hitting the close door button, not even having time to press the floor number. She saw the man coming and was worried he might cause a scene with her

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Thalassa caught sight of Lysander approaching from the gap, his icy gaze fixed on her. Her heart pounded faster as she locked eyes with him, her breath hitched

Luckily, it was a brief exchange of looks. The elevator doors quickly closed completely, blocking her from the man.

Thalassa’s tense shoulders finally relaxed. Turning around, she saw the curious eyes of the two kids.

“Mom, why are you here?” Her younger son, Dorian, blinked his big eyes, asking in a childish voice.

He had long eyelashes, fluttery like butterfly wings. His skin was delicate and smooth, and though he was a boy, people often mistook him for a girl. Some even thought he was prettier than girls.

Where’s your grandmother?” Her face turned serious, worried about what might happen if they got lost without an adult. Normally she was lenient with their mischief, but when it came to safety, she had to be strict

Dorian felt guilty under his mom’s stern gaze. He hung his head, not knowing how to explain. He knew better than to lie to his mom.

Atticus piped up. “Mom, we came to find Lysander. You offended him yesterday, so we wanted to apologize and ask for his forgiveness.”
