The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 350

“What is it?” Seeing her pause, Alaric asked, breaking the silence that was beginning to stretch uncomfortably.

Hertha’s round eyes, bright as a pair of marbles, rolled around twice, her words catching in her throat. She had been ready to admit the truth about the quadruplets, but the words died on her lips.

She swallowed them back.

Despite her desperate need to clarify that she was single, childless, and had never been with a man, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Because if she did, it would mean betraying Thalassa.

Alaric was Lysander’s close friend. If Alaric learned that the quadruplets were Thalassa’s children, Lysander would soon know too.

And currently, the tension between Thalassa and Lysander was not just about him disliking children or the Sinclair family looking down on Thalassa. It was a web of old grudges and resentments.

Lysander now saw Thalassa as an enemy, wishing nothing more than her downfall.

If he found out about the children Thalassa had birthed in secret, he would ruthlessly snatch them away, denying Thalassa any right to see them.
