The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 289

Thalassa glanced around, not spotting Lysander, and finally relaxed enough to pull out her phone and dial Evelyn.

“What are you up to? I’m in the middle of a poker game with friends. Can you stop bothering me?” Evelyn started to complain as soon as the call connected.

Knowing time was of the essence, Thalassa ignored her and cut to the chase: “Mom, you need to hurry home. The kids are asleep by themselves, I’m out and not at home.”

“What? How could you do that? Leaving the kids alone at home in the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid they’d wake up and not find you, fall out the window, or get taken by some bad guys?” Evelyn’s sharp reprimand resonated clearly through the phone.

Thalassa was especially anxious because she was worried something might happen to the kids.

She couldn’t help but feel like crying, “Mom, I didn’t want to, but my boss had something come up last minute. I thought I’d be back soon, but I’m still not back.”

“Alright, alright, you go do your work. I’ll finish this round and head back.” With that, Evelyn hung up.

Thalassa put down her phone, letting out a sigh of relief.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a powerful presence approached.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Thalassa began to sweat nervously. She turned around to see Lysander walking towards her.
