The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 2

Five years later.

At the train station in Starhaven.

Thalassa, with several packages of all sizes slung over her shoulder, was in a hurry.

Right behind her were four adorable children who waddled along like little penguins. The children were so good–looking that they attracted a lot of

attention

Thalassa’s mother, Evelyn, grumbled, “I’m running ragged chasing after you all day, and I can’t remember the last time I had a real rest. You sure do pop out babies like rabbits, giving me four grandkids in one go. I’m stuck babysitting all the time, with no time for fun. Just look at my clothes, they’re all worn out. Who wears stuff like this nowadays?”

Five years ago, even the sow they used to keep wouldn’t have been able to produce this many piglets.

Thalassa, weighed down by her luggage and panting with exertion, responded, “Mom, I appreciate it. I’ll buy you new clothes as soon as I have some money”

Thalassa’s trip back to Starhaven was to find a better–paying job. Supporting four kids was a heavy task for the two of them.

Five years ago, she lost her innocence on a stormy night. She wanted to retrieve the pendant and find him, but the old house collapsed suddenly. She narrowly escaped death as she was standing right under a hole in the roof. Three months later, she was shocked to find out that she was pregnant.

Her life was in shambles, and she wanted to find the man and hold him accountable. But the pendant he left behind was smashed under the rubble, probably reduced to dust. She searched for a long time but found nothing. Without no clues and being unable to remember the maris face, finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

She was heartbroken and wanted to abort the baby, but in the end, she chose to keep it, quit school, and went home to have the baby.

Since then, she’d been blessed with four adorable children. Although her life was tough, it was also filled with joy and she had given up on finding the
