The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

As soon as Hertha finished speaking, she could feel her parents' gaze sharpen, their expressions a mix of shock and disappointment, as if they were thinking, "Why can't she be more responsible?"

Before they could launch into a lecture, Hertha quickly said, “Dad, Mom, my boss is waiting for me at the restaurant to go over some work stuff. I was just worried about him finding out I brought the kids—no company wants their employees turning the workplace into a daycare. Could you watch them for a bit? And please, don't come by the restaurant; we can't let my boss see you with the kids or I might lose my job."

Kimberly opened her mouth, about to say something, but Hertha cut her off before she could get the words out.

"Just take the kids back home. I'll head there as soon as I finish work."

After reassuring Julian and Helena to listen to their grandparents, Hertha watched as her parents, with a kid in each arm, walked away from the restaurant. She let out a sigh of relief.

She had been worrying about who would watch the kids, and then, as if by some miracle, her parents showed up. It was like the universe was on her side.
