The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

After dinner, Joshua and Rosalind took their leave. David went to settle the bill, and the bodyguards dispersed. In the private room, only Thalassa and Lysander were left.

Thalassa didn't rush off; instead, she sat back down and extended her hand toward Lysander.

Lysander glanced at her outstretched hand, his voice low and resonant with a hint of curiosity, "Hmm?"

It was a tone of inquiry.

"Let me keep our marriage certificate," Thalassa said. "So no one can flaunt it in front of others again."

There was a hint of teasing in her last remark.

During the meal with Joshua, Thalassa had resisted asking Lysander why, having only gotten their marriage license that morning, Joshua and Rosalind already knew about their marriage by the afternoon. And why had Lysander even invited them over for a celebratory drink?

It must be because Lysander hadn't kept the marriage certificate at home and ended up showing it to Joshua and Rosalind.

Alaric and Hertha had waited a couple of days after getting their license to tell her, their best friend.

Yet Lysander, more impatient than Hertha, had informed Joshua on the very first day and even hosted a celebration!
