The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1791

The Whitman family's mansion was ablaze with lights. Rosalind sat on the couch, sulking. Her father had promised to sort things out for her, but days had passed without a concrete plan. Her patience was wearing thin. She had been looking forward to her life with Lysander after their wedding, but then Thalassa made a dramatic entrance on the big day itself, stealing her groom right from under her nose. All her beautiful dreams were strangled in their cradle! If she had never hoped, she wouldn't feel so heartbroken now. It was the shattering of those hopes that made everything so unbearable.

"Joshua, would you please say something? You went to see Zephyr today, what happened? Is he not going to stand up for your daughter?" Matilda had been asking Joshua for a while, trying to keep her annoyance in check at first, speaking softly. But Joshua just hung his head in silence, pushing Matilda to her breaking point. She exploded, raising her voice and angrily pounding on Joshua's shoulder. Rosalind, with tears blurring her vision, looked up at Joshua, waiting for his response. Joshua's body shook slightly from the impact, then he sat up straight, knowing he couldn't keep silent any longer. Matilda and Rosalind were on the verge of breaking down. With a pained expression, he glanced at Rosalind and then at Matilda beside him, and reluctantly shared the sad news: "Zephyr can't make a decision this time either..."

"What?" Matilda gasped.

Rosalind's tears burst forth.

Seeing the shock and distress on both Matilda and Rosalind's faces, Joshua quickly added, "Zephyr did share some news, Rosalind. After hearing it, you can decide if you still want to marry Lysander."

"Is there some plot by the Sinclair family to make Rosalind back out?" Matilda glared at Joshua, furious.
