The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 2085

Proposing to Thalassa in front of Harper was the most effective way to show his true sincerity.

To untangle the knots in Thalassa's heart, he had to be completely honest.

Otherwise, Thalassa would continue living in insecurity, only increasing her anxiety.

David had been waiting for thirty minutes when he saw Lysander and Thalassa approaching hand in hand. He quickly opened the car door and respectfully said, “Mr. Sinclair, ma'am, please get in.”

Lysander and Thalassa took their seats in the back.

David drove off.

Throughout the ride, Lysander and Thalassa's hands remained intertwined, with Lysander's hand resting against the seat and Thalassa's palm pressed against his. The diamond ring on her finger sparkled intermittently under the dappled shadows of the passing trees.

A constant smile played on Thalassa's lips, a smile of pure happiness.

After a while, Lysander broke the silence, “Did Rosalind mention Harper to you?”

Thalassa turned, meeting Lysander's deep gaze. The question caught her off guard, leaving her momentarily confused.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

After a pause, Thalassa calmly nodded, “Yes, she mentioned Harper. She even said that to you, I'm just a stand-in for Harper. Because my eyes resemble Harper’s, and your special treatment towards me is merely because of this resemblance.”

Thalassa finished, inadvertently biting her lower lip, the words still stinging her heart like a needle.

It was suffocatingly painful.

No woman wants to be a stand-in, especially not in the heart of the man she loves most.

Seeing her look so wronged, Lysander suddenly laughed, his laughter bright and his eyes sparkling.
