The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421 

She hadn’t washed her hair for days, and she was beginning to feel itchy and uncomfortable. 

She gave in to the itch and decided to wash her hair. 

“How’s your concussion? Are you feeling better?” Leopold asked, his hand falling away from her shoulder. His heart felt empty as his hand left her. 

He was struggling to keep the pain inside him at bay, his concern for her health more paramount than his own. 

“I’ll be alright. I just need a few days of rest, Thalassia replied. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.” 

She was about to turn away when Leopold interjected, “Stay for dinner with me.” His tone was firm, not asking for her opinion but stating a fact. 

“I’ve already had dinner,” Thalassia countered. 

“That was just supper. Consider this a late-night snack.” He opened the car door, waiting for her to get in. 

“I’m not hungry,” Thalassia replied, furrowing her brows. 

“Then I’ll go find Lysander!” Leopold said, his tone hard and serious. 

Thalassia was at a loss for words, ultimately giving in and getting into the car. 

Leopold drove off. 

Soon, they arrived at a posh restaurant. They took a table by the window, overlooking a man-made garden with a fountain spouting water in the middle. The garden was filled with green trees and colorful flowers. The mist from the fountain created a romantic and hazy atmosphere. 

A succulent steak was brought to their table, its aroma filling the air. If she had been hungry, the meal would have been delicious. But Thalassia was full, having eaten dinner and a generous portion of cake. Even the most decadent food held no temptation for her now. 

Leopold handed her the cutlery. “Eat.” 

“I’m not hungry, you can eat,” Thalassia said, feeling awkward sharing a romantic late-night meal with him, knowing that they could no longer be together. 

Leopold’s gaze darkened, pain evident in his eyes. “So now, you won’t even share a meal with me? Would you be happier if it were Lysander?”
