The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1077

Evelyn gazed at Thalassa's smiling face with a mixture of affection and concern. With a heavy sigh, she brushed away a tear from the corner of her eye. "Oh, honey, you’re so strong for carrying another one. But sometimes, being strong isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's you who bears the brunt of it all."

The love in Evelyn's eyes was the kind that only a mother could have for her daughter - a love that ached with empathy for the hardships her child endured.

While others might rejoice at the prospect of a new addition to the family, only a mother could truly grasp the suffering and struggle that might come with it.

Thalassa was expecting again, unwed, with four little ones already at home and no formal commitment from Lysander. Now, being pregnant again, would he marry her out of obligation to the child she was carrying?

Evelyn hoped more than anything that Thalassa would secure her place and not be left vulnerable, subject to the whims of fate.

Thalassa recognized that her mother's concerns were rooted in profound love. She grasped Evelyn’s hand in hers, squeezing gently in reassurance. "Mom, let's set aside any other worries for now. Our primary focus should be on ensuring the baby’s health and safety. Regardless of everything else, this little one is my treasure. As a mother, my role is to love them fiercely. All other concerns don’t apply to them. They're innocent in all this."

She understood Evelyn's fears about her lacking status despite her growing family, as well as the risks involved in childbirth.

In that moment, a sense of comfort and happiness filled her. She, too, was someone's child, loved and cared for by a mother.

Thalassa was grateful that she had rushed home that fateful day to save Evelyn. Without that, she would have been motherless.

Evelyn knew her daughter's love for the children was boundless. No amount of talking would change Thalassa's mind; she would carry this child to term.

Evelyn playfully scolded her, "The baby isn't even born yet, and you're already spoiling them. Who knows how you'll dote on them once they're here!"
