The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1285

Then Callum hobbled towards the windowsill, leaning heavily on his cane.

"Take it easy. I've got you," Evelyn said without further comment, helping Callum to the windowsill where he could sit down.

She then turned and glared at Thalassa, "I've never seen you fuss over such trivial matters before."

Thalassa's lashes fluttered down, and she remained silent.

"Don't be too hard on Thalassa," Callum chimed in, his voice as mellow as ever, a picture of unflappable calm. "The lunch I brought for you is all freshly made, not leftovers. Try it to see if you like it."

His easygoing nature only fueled Evelyn's impression that Thalassa was taking advantage of him.

Her brows knit together, she scolded Thalassa again, "Look at him, you could learn a thing or two about grace."

"Yes, Mom, I will," Thalassa quickly replied, eager to stave off another lecture.

She opened up the lunchbox, and the aroma of the food instantly wafted out as the lid was lifted.

Both Thalassa and Evelyn were famished. The smell of the food made their stomachs audibly rumble.

Evelyn felt a tad embarrassed, patting her belly and chuckled, "Look at me, becoming as much of a foodie as Elowen."

She gave Callum an apologetic grin, but he maintained his genial smile. "You're just hungry, Evelyn. Let's eat," he said.

"Yeah," Evelyn agreed, handing a lunchbox to Thalassa before grabbing one for herself and starting to eat.
