The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 

With the clarity of hindsight, Leopold’s heart trembled. 

But he was not ready to give up, he wanted to hear it from Thalassa herself. 

He loved her too deeply, so he wouldn’t give up until he had to. 

How could he believe that the woman he loved to his core could be Lysander’s girlfriend! 

Thalassa gripped her phone. Leopold’s question echoed in her ear. 

It was the voice of a big boy hurt, trembling slightly, even with a hint of stifled sobbing. 

Thalassa’s heart sunk, her breath heavy with pain. 

Five years ago, she and Leopold loved each other in their campus days. It was an innocent and youthful affair. In the sunlight, they would walk hand in hand, go to the cafeteria for lunch, and study together in the library. Those halcyon days and peaceful moments flashed rapidly through her mind. 

Each memory floated like seaweed in the deep sea, drifting, heavy. 

But ultimately, the romance was rootless and fruitless. 

Her hand holding the phone tightened, her voice calm but resolute. “I told you before, I have a boyfriend!” 

Their shared past needed closure. 

Dragging it out would be worse than making a clean break, allowing Leopold to let go completely. 

She hadn’t anticipated that Lysander would end up at the hotel, kissing her in front of Leopold. 

But it was better this way to let Leopold let go, to let him move on without any hope of her. That way, he could start a new life. 

There would be other girls who would like him, and he would eventually have a family and children of his own. 

She shouldn’t keep him from moving on with the beautiful romance they had in the past. 

The sooner he let go, the sooner he could start anew. 

Thalassa’s words were decisive, and she tried to keep her voice as calm and firm as possible, devoid of any emotion. 

She wanted Leopold to understand that she truly didn’t love him anymore and there was no chance for them. 

Leopold had mentally prepared himself, but when he heard Thalassa’s words, his heart involuntarily ached fiercely, like a knife twisting, making it hard to breathe. 

His breath trembled, and he had to clench his teeth to stop the tears from falling. 

“I understand.” He said, struggling to keep his voice steady, not wanting to sound defeated. 

Then he hung up. 

The moment the call ended, he could no longer hold back. He slumped over the steering wheel, clenching his teeth hard, but it was no use. The tears that had been swirling in his eyes couldn’t be controlled, falling like they were cut loose. 

At that moment, it felt as if his life had dimmed, his future a black void. 

For the past five years, he had held onto the belief that he could work hard, become successful, and then reappear in Thalassa’s life, shining brilliantly.
