The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1772

Thalassa was initially stunned, feeling Lysander's passion envelop her. Gradually, her body relaxed, lost in the fervor of Lysander's kiss.

They were so caught up in the moment, with the temperature rising between them, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. A cautious voice of the servant pierced the heated atmosphere, “Lysander, is it dinner time, or shall we wait a bit longer?”

Hearing the voice, Thalassa jolted, pushing Lysander away reflexively. Though she and Lysander were officially an item now, she was still shy. Being caught kissing Lysander would turn her beet red.

Sensing her discomfort, Lysander let her go, pulling her into a comforting embrace to help her catch her scattered breath.

The servant, receiving no reply, quietly retreated.

Thalassa leaned against Lysander's broad and warm chest, taking deep breaths to calm herself from the whirlwind Lysander had stirred in her heart.

Her cheek against his chest felt the powerful masculinity, and right by her ear, over Lysander's heart, she could hear his steady and strong heartbeat.

It was comforting for Thalassa, a feeling of happiness spreading in her heart. It had been a while since she last heard his heartbeat.

During the three years she took care of him, she would listen to his heartbeat every night before sleep, a reassurance before she could allow herself to rest.

Since Lysander had awakened, it had been ages since she last listened to his heartbeat.

Hearing it again brought her immense comfort and joy.

Thalassa reached out, hugging Lysander, basking in his warmth, her voice soft and slightly coquettish, “Lysander, aren’t you going to ask where our kids are?”

Since his awakening, Lysander hadn’t once asked about the kids.

This made Thalassa wonder if he had forgotten about them.

She hadn’t expected the kids to thrive so well without her.

It was just her struggling to cope without them.

Thalassa, fighting back the tears, responded calmly, “As long as they’re happy, that’s all that matters.”

Though Thalassa hid her emotions well, Lysander could sense the turmoil within her. He tightened his embrace, gently saying, “The boarding school is strict. In a year, they’ll be out.”

A year seemed like an eternity to Thalassa, who wished she could see her beloved children the very next day.

But with Lysander’s words, she knew she had no choice but to wait, holding back her longing for her children.
