The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 836

"Mom, what did you eat that made you allergic? Was it sneaky mango bites?" Elowen looked up at her with big, innocent eyes full of concern.

Thalassa forced a dry smile, covering her embarrassment as she replied, "Yeah, it was mango."

Fitch, being an experienced man, felt it inappropriate to linger in the room during such a conversation. So, he bowed his head and busied himself in the kitchen.

Lysander, standing beside Thalassa, cast a towering shadow over her with his imposing stature. His presence was so overwhelming that she found it hard to ignore.

"Elowen, take your mom to the playroom," Lysander gently ruffled Elowen's soft hair, his touch tender and loving.

Obeying her father's command, Elowen grabbed Thalassa's hand and led her towards the playroom.

The other three kids followed up. They were soothed by their mother's presence so they didn't fuss about wanting to find their grandmother to make toys for them as they had earlier.

Once in the playroom, Thalassa joined them on the foam mat. The kids, stretching their little bodies, took out their new toys from the cabinet to share with Thalassa.

"Mom, look at this new doll Daddy bought me. Isn't she pretty?" Elowen asked; her sweet smile lit up her face as she held up the doll with golden hair.

Thalassa smiled and nodded, "She's beautiful just like you."

"Mom, look at my jewelry-fixing tools. They're all new and I love them, but I'm hesitant to use them," Sophia lugged a small toolbox over and plopped it onto the floor. She opened it with a huff, revealing a set of shiny new tools.

She looked up and gazed at Thalassa with her innocent and glistering eyes; they were showing off her joyous feelings.

Thalassa gently touched Sophia's small head, "If Daddy bought them for you, you should use them. Under your hands, these tools will be of the greatest value. Don't you think?"

"Daddy!" The kids looked up at the sound, their young voices calling out in unison.

Lysander responded with a grunt, acknowledging their greeting. As he approached, the kids stepped back to make room for him to go to Thalassa.

Thalassa had been intentionally avoiding looking at Lysander. But when his shadow drew near, she instinctively looked up just in time to see him sit in front of her and hold a white gauze with something the size of an egg wrapped inside.

Before she could make out what was in the gauze, Lysander reached out and pressed it to her lips.

"Um..." Thalassa instinctively leaned back, trying to avoid the unknown object.

"Stay still." Lysander's large hand held the back of her head, preventing her from moving away.
