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.

Seeing their peaceful slumber, Thalassa couldn’t bear to wake them. Instead, she closed the doors quietly and tiptoed away.

But as she turned, she stumbled into a solid, scorching chest. She hurriedly stepped back, only to find the door at her heels, leaving her with no escape.

Lysander’s grip tightened around her waist and pulled her close. His firm abdomen sent a dangerous signal, burning her skin and stalling her breath. Her pupils were dilating.

“It’s time to settle our score!” Lysander’s handsome face was cold as he spoke, and with that, he swept her off her feet.
