The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1037

Elowen gazed into Thalassa's eyes. Her question was piercing to the very core of her mother's soul.

Thalassa was taken aback, words failing her.

Was the lack of love between her and Lysander his fault, or hers?

Elowen's question about why she didn't have feelings for Lysander left Thalassa's mind in a whirl.

Why didn't she harbor affection for Lysander? Or was it that she never had the right to cherish such feelings? Did she even like him at all?

"Elowen, let's not make this any harder on Mom. I'm ready to leave with her." piped up Atticus, who had been standing by silently but now stepped forward with a solemn tone.

Though young, Atticus could read the distress and loss written all over Thalassa's face. He knew there had to be a compelling reason for their mother to take them away from their father. And if it came down to choosing between his parents, Atticus would not hesitate to chose his mother.

"I'm sticking with Mom too," declared Dorian, raising his hand and shuffling closer to Thalassa.

Elowen exchanged a puzzled and tender glance with Sophia. After a brief moment, Sophia snapped back to reality and told Thalassa, "I'm going with Mom, too."

"Yeah, let's get on the plane! I love flying," Elowen chimed in, nodding enthusiastically and making her way to the aircraft.

Within just two minutes, the children had unanimously decided, leaving Thalassa with a bitter-sweet feeling in her heart. Her eyes were moist with gratitude for their unwavering loyalty to her.

Suddenly, Thalassa noticed that Elowen was struggling to climb into the plane, her chubby hands grappling with the edge but her legs too short to hoist herself up. The sight was so endearingly comical that Thalassa couldn't help but laugh. She quickly stepped forward and lifted Elowen into the plane.
