The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1179

Her voice was soft and tender as she called out weakly.

Thalassa squatted down, arms wide open, ready to catch her children as they raced towards her. Suddenly, a towering figure loomed over her, and before she knew it, Lysander had stepped in front of her, scooping up the four little ones headed her way.

Like ducklings in a row, the children's round bodies were instantly cradled in Lysander's long arms.

"Hey, Dad, let go, I want Mom!" Dorian protested, struggling in Lysander's embrace, his little hands pushing against his father's sturdy chest, trying to wriggle free and jump into his mother's arms.

Elowen wasn't happy either. "I want a hug from Mom."

Atticus complained, "I helped you find Mom yesterday, and you promised we could play with her."

Sophia chimed in softly, "Mommy, I want Mommy."

Thalassa was puzzled; Lysander had never stopped the kids from running to her before. Why was he suddenly preventing their affectionate reunion?

As her confusion grew, Lysander's calm voice broke through, "What did I tell you last time? Have you forgotten already? Mommy has a baby brother or sister in her belly, and we need to be gentle, remember?"

Lysander was teaching the little ones a lesson.

Thalassa's heart skipped a beat at his words, and she suddenly realized why Lysander had acted this way. She, too, had just remembered the new life growing inside her.

She had the instinct to protect the baby, but faced with her four children, her love for them made her eager to embrace them, temporarily forgetting the delicate one in her womb.

Lysander, however, was always mindful of it.

The children were very understanding; they couldn't grasp Lysander's actions at first, but upon hearing his explanation, they immediately understood his intentions.

Dorian calmed down and said obediently, "I understand, I'll be very careful not to bump into Mommy and protect the little baby in her tummy."

"Good," Lysander said, ruffling Dorian's hair in approval.
