The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1629

Gazing at the amber hue of her whiskey, Thalassa seemed lost in thought.

"Of course, he poured his heart out to you, so what did you feel? How did you respond?" Hertha, anxious and eager for details, pressed Thalassa for her reaction to Lysander's confession. This was crucial; it could define the trajectory of their future relationship.

Thalassa and Lysander had been entangled in a complicated dance for three years, a dance that had produced four beautiful children. If they could make it work, it would be nothing short of perfect. But the ball was in Thalassa's court now.

Hertha made it clear that no matter Thalassa's decision, she had her unwavering support.

Exhaling deeply, Thalassa's voice was tinged with melancholy, "I dodged the question. I didn't answer him."

She had evaded the question then, and even when Rosalind had teased her about her feelings for Lysander, she hadn't confronted her true emotions head-on.

"The million-dollar question, then," Hertha leaned in, "Is he just the father of your kids to you, or is there something more? Do you have romantic feelings for him?"

That was the question Lysander probably wanted the answer to as well. After all, beyond responsibility, love was the cornerstone of any relationship. Without it, life seemed bleak and uninspiring.
