The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1389

"It was me," a familiar voice called from behind.

Thalassa spun around and found herself looking up at Joshua's tall frame. He was a striking figure, ruggedly handsome with a touch of distinguished intellectuality. Silver streaked his temples, and although wrinkles creased his face, they couldn't mar the youthful elegance that still clung to his features.

His gaze softened as it met Thalassa's, a hint of tenderness flickering in his eyes.

Caught off guard by his presence, Thalassa's eyes dropped to the document he was holding—the test report.

She had yet to learn its contents.

But Joshua had read it.

So, what did it say?

Was she really Joshua's daughter?

She didn't particularly care who was her biological father, but she found herself yearning for a 99% match in that moment. It would mean she could care for Lysander.

If not, looking after Lysander would be as challenging as scaling Mount Everest.

Thalassa's hands, clenched involuntarily, anxiety bubbling within her.

Seeing her fixated on the report and wearing a look of concern, Joshua chuckled, "Finally, I see you care about our connection."

Her indifferent demeanor the day before had stung him a bit.

Lifting her gaze, Thalassa was in no mood for banter. "What does it say?" she demanded, all business.

"Join me for a trip to Starhaven tomorrow. I'll take you to the Sinclair estate," Joshua didn’t give a direct answer, leaving her with these words before turning to leave.

Thalassa watched his retreating figure, her heart a whirlwind of emotions.

Was Joshua's invitation to visit the Sinclair estate a sign that he would fulfill her request?

She had traveled the road from Hollowbrook to Starhaven countless times, but now it felt endless, her nerves frayed.

Even with Joshua by her side, she couldn't be sure if Zephyr would grant her the favor of caring for Lysander.

Lost in thought, the car came to a stop in the Sinclair's driveway.

Joshua exited first, not rushing inside but instead walking around to the passenger side like a true gentleman, opening the door for Thalassa with an inviting gesture.

"Let's go in together," he said with a warm smile.

Thalassa hesitated, unused to such warmth from him, but she stepped out of the car. He tactfully didn't offer his hand or ask her to link arms. They walked side by side toward the house.

"Ah, Joshua, you've arrived," Zephyr called out from the doorway.

His face held a polite smile, but it vanished the moment his eyes landed on Thalassa, who was standing right next to Joshua.
