The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

As soon as he finished speaking, Dorian seamlessly slipped into his performance mode and kicked off his solo show.

From a very young age, Dorian had a deep love for the stage, a passion paired with a talent that set him apart from his peers. Wherever he was, the moment he began to perform, the world around him transformed into his stage.

Meanwhile, Thalassa glanced at the wardrobe Dorian had theatrically opened and closed as part of his act. As Dorian's performance unfolded, everyone was drawn into the captivating world he created. After delivering a riveting monologue, Dorian dropped his character and, with a bright smile, asked, "Mom, Dad, what did you think?"

Thalassa, momentarily lost in the performance, burst into applause, "Incredible, absolutely incredible!" Lysander snapped back to reality and joined in the applause. Fitch, too, wanted to applaud but realized his hands were full. Quickly setting his load down, he clapped enthusiastically, a warm smile on his face.

The adults led the applause, with Atticus starting off, prompting the kids to join in. Soon, applause filled the entire room. Dorian, his face beaming with joy and a brilliant smile, revealed a gap in his teeth. Thalassa, ever observant, noticed, "Wait, Dorian, let me see."
