The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1053

Thalassa watched as her mother’s silhouette faded from view. Then, she lowered her gaze and turned for the bathroom. Her eyes collided with the piercing gaze of Lysander, sharp as a blade poised before her, threatening to pierce flesh at the slightest misstep.

Her lashes quivered, her breath hitched, and she quickly averted her eyes. “I’m going to check on the kids.”

Her intended path to the bathroom shifted to the children’s rooms.

Lysander made no move to stop her. She gently pushed open each door and found the little ones sound asleep, lost in slumber so deep that mere minutes had pulled them under. The day’s hustle had clearly worn them out.
