The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1032

Thalassa understood Callum's intentions all too well now.

She’d never have imagined that Callum would deflect all the credit onto Lysander just to help her escape.

In the past, Thalassa might have questioned Callum's motives, but ever since she found out that Callum was not only a close friend of Leopold's but also a righteous journalist, her trust in him was unwavering.

"Alright. I'll get the kids and leave Royal Estates immediately." Thalassa said calmly, steeling her resolve.

"I'll wait for you at the house Lysander bought for your mother." Callum said before hanging up.

The house Lysander bought for her mother? Was he referring to the house that was exchanged from the estate Leopold left behind?

Thalassa was about to step out of the bathroom when she paused.

No, rushing out like this would raise suspicions among the Royal Estates' staff. It would be odd to enter the bathroom and not take a bath.

To maintain appearances, Thalassa quickly showered, headed to Atticus' room, and found Evelyn cheerfully recounting ancient tales to Atticus and Dorian.

Thalassa whispered something into Evelyn's ear.

Evelyn's expression flickered with surprise then settled into a look of resolve. She turned to Thalassa and said, "Okay, I got it."

Then, Evelyn turned to Atticus and Dorian. "It's getting late; Grandma needs to head back."

"Grandma, why don't you just stay over? My bed is big enough for you." Dorian pouted, unhappy at the prospect of his grandmother leaving.

"I'll go change." Thalassa said, quickly leaving the room.

Once everyone was ready, Thalassa, Evelyn, and the kids made their way to the foyer.

Fitch, noticing their unusual behavior — not ready for bed, but instead preparing to leave — approached with concern.

"Ms. Everhart, are you heading out?" Fitch inquired.

Thalassa replied, "Fitch, I was just about to look for you. Here's the thing: My mom isn't settling in well here, and she's worried that Lysander will be upset if he finds an extra person upon returning. She wants to go back, and the kids are insisting on going to their grandma's house. I'm thinking of taking all of them back now, and we'll go straight to school tomorrow. You can pick them up there in the afternoon."

Fitch was not in a position to make a decision. He looked at the children, visibly torn.
