The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 382

Compared to the usual bustling atmosphere, filled with the comforting scent of freshly baked cookies and the excited chatter of children rushing to greet her, the house now seemed cold and eerily quiet.

Thalassa felt her heart sink, a subconscious worry and fear setting in.

After a moment of panic, she remembered. Elowen was on television, competing in the semi-finals of the gourmet competition.

Evelyn must still be out with the children, she reasoned.

A bit calmer, Thalassa quickly took her discharged cell phone to her room to charge.

Once the phone was plugged in, Thalassa noticed another oddity: The blankets in the room were neatly folded, just as she had left them. They were undisturbed.
