The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1539

Alaric only caught a brief glimpse, and it seemed he hadn't recognized the kids. If he had, things wouldn't be this peaceful right now.

Hertha's heart, previously racing with fear, finally settled down.

She smiled, saying, "All is well. Bridget, you've been such a help."

Bridget let out a sigh of relief, responding, "It's what I'm here for."

"Mummy, Emmeline is so kind. She gave me candy," Julian said with his sweet, youthful voice, his chubby little hand clutching a brightly wrapped piece of candy, his cute face beaming with joy.

Kids are simple to please; a single piece of candy can bring them immense happiness.

"Julian, sweetie, we say thank you when someone gives us something," Hertha said tenderly, patting his little head.

"Uh-huh," Julian nodded vigorously, turning back to the young woman standing behind him. "Emmeline, thank you for the candy."

"Thanks, Emmeline. I love you so much," Helena chimed in playfully, smiling at the young woman. Her pockets were stuffed with candies, all from Emmeline.

That's when Hertha's attention shifted to the young woman who had entered with Bridget.

As their gazes met, the young woman smiled warmly. "Don't mention it. You two are adorable. I hope to have two lovely kids like you someday."

Her words were a response to the children but were directed at Hertha.

Hertha offered a polite smile, "You surely will."

Then she looked at Bridget, hoping for an introduction to this woman.

The woman looked around the room with curiosity, then asked, "Where's Spencer? Bridget mentioned he was here."
