The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1068

Though Thalassa felt a pang of disappointment at Lysander’s questioning, she would never joke about something as serious as their child.

Beyond her intimacy with Lysander, she hadn’t so much as held hands with another man. And yet, he had the gall to doubt the paternity of her child!
