The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629 

Lysander’s mind was set, and there was no way she could sway him. Staying would have only inflicted more pain on Sophia. 

If she had left, Lysander would have at least comforted Sophia. 

If she had stayed, Lysander would have only been more cold-hearted. 

Thalassa choked back her tears, “I’ll leave immediately. Please take care of Sophia. Don’t be harsh.” 

She looked at the timid Sophia one last time, her heart aching. With a heavy heart, she walked away. 

In the yard, the other three children were nowhere to be seen. They had been taken by the housekeepers to play further afield, enjoying a lively game of soccer, oblivious to the happenings back at home. 

Thalassa quickly got into the car, fearing the kids would see her departure and chase after her, causing her more pain. 

If forcibly separated, the children would cry out until they were hoarse. 

She didn’t want to see the children in tears. Leaving quietly while they were happily playing seemed the best option. 

The car pulled away from the Sinclair’s house. 

Inside the house, Sophia, cradled in Lysander’s arms, watched as Thalassa left. She bit her lower lip as tears welled up, her shoulders shaking from crying. She was too scared to call out for her mother, too scared even to say she needed her. 

For her, being held by someone she found terrifying, she didn’t dare to move. 

Lysander handed her a tissue, wiping away her tears, “No more crying. I’ll take you to pick some antiques. Take as many as you want.” 

Sophia continued to sob. Even the mention of her favorite antiques couldn’t console her. 

She yearned for her mother, but her mother had left. 

Inside the car, Thalassa wiped away her tears, the memory of Sophia’s frightened and timid face causing her heart to wrench. 

Could she see her children in the future? 

Lysander’s firm attitude suggested she wouldn’t be allowed to see her children again. 

Why didn’t Lysander and Zephyr believe her about Grandma Sybil’s accident? Why didn’t they believe Sophia? 

Why did Robert lie? 

Although Thalassa now understood what had happened, Zephyr didn’t want the police to check fingerprints on Grandma Sybil. Everyone thought Sophia’s words were just children’s talk and they were not worth taking seriously… 

Were they accusing Evelyn of killing Grandma Sybil and planning on blaming Evelyn? 

Thalassa felt bewildered, unsure of what to do next. 

Upon returning to Vibrant Oasis Residences, she saw a woman standing at the entrance. Thalassa paused for a moment. “Thalassa, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for an hour.” The woman walked up, warmly taking Thalassa’s arm.
