The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1317

Thalassa blinked back her tears, revealing a smile tinged with relief. “Yeah, it’s just better with Mom around.”

“Why are you home so early?” Evelyn asked, her brows knitting with concern. Typically, it was Evelyn who went to pick up the kids before Thalassa got off work.

“Are you worried they gave me the boot?” Thalassa chuckled, her eyes crinkling at the

corners.

In the past five years, Evelyn’s greatest fear had been Thalassa losing her job. If that happened, they’d be up a creek without a paddle.

“No, darling, I’m just scared you ran into some trouble,” Evelyn said, her gaze soft and full of maternal love.

Back in the day, they pinched pennies, but now they were sitting pretty-no need to panic, right?

“I’m fine, Mom. Everything’s peachy as long as you’re by my side,” Thalassa said, hugging Evelyn tightly.

After all, a kid with their mom is a blessed thing indeed.

“Alright, sweetie, you’re carrying a little one now. Go rest in your room,” Evelyn suggested. With an obedient smile, Thalassa let go of her mother and headed to her bedroom.
