The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 2064

Lysander, with a casual grace, lifted the teacup before him and took a sip, his lips curling into a half-smile that wasn't quite friendly.

Joshua's face turned a shade paler. He had hoped to wriggle out of the situation with a quick excuse, but Lysander wasn't playing along, cutting right through his pretense.

"I admit, I've been neglecting Thalassa lately. Now that I've got some free time, I'll make sure to pay her a visit soon," Joshua said, maintaining his smile, attempting to smooth over the tension with Lysander.

Rosalind had been silent up to this point, initially struck by Lysander's inherent nobility and the impressive presence he commanded, just like the old days. But as the conversation between Joshua and Lysander unfolded, she found herself unable to find an opening.

However, once Thalassa's name started to dominate the conversation, a bitter feeling began to well up inside Rosalind.

As soon as Joshua finished speaking, Rosalind, fueled by frustration, blurted out, "I saw Thalassa at the cemetery yesterday!"

Her sudden interjection was directly related to the topic at hand, capturing Lysander and Joshua's attention.

Meeting Lysander's gaze, Rosalind felt a flutter in her heart. He was finally looking at her, all because she mentioned Thalassa.

It irked Rosalind that mentioning Thalassa was the only way to get Lysander's attention.

Under Lysander's intense gaze, she continued, "I was visiting my sister Harper's grave when I bumped into Thalassa, who was there to see Leopold."

Mentioning Harper again stirred deep emotions in Joshua.

"Those we've lost remain in our hearts, even if only in memory. I visited Harper and Leopold's graves recently too," Lysander said, setting his teacup down and shifting his gaze from Rosalind to Joshua with a detached air.

Rosalind, seeing Lysander's indifferent demeanor, felt a sting of discomfort, her smile fading away.
