The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

She knew she had to let go of Lysander to truly start living her own life.

Snapping back to reality, Rosalind glanced at the sweet and sour fish that had mysteriously appeared in her bowl, feeling a wave of emotions threatening to break through her resolve. She bit her lip hard, fighting back tears, refusing to let them fall in front of Lysander and Thalassa. Showing weakness now would mean losing her last shred of dignity.

With a forced smile, she turned to Joshua, picking up another dish closest to her and placing it in Joshua's bowl. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she pretended to be strong, "Here you go, Dad. Make sure you eat too."

After serving Joshua, she picked up a piece of the sweet and sour fish, chewing it with difficulty but pretending it was effortless.

Joshua saw the tears pooling in Rosalind's eyes, watching as she swallowed all her sorrow and bitterness, acting as if nothing was wrong.

His heart ached for her, but like Rosalind, he pretended everything was normal.

He smiled across at Lysander and Thalassa, saying, "As the elder here, I want to congratulate you two on tying the knot. I know the journey here wasn't easy. Now that you've made it, it's truly an accomplishment. Here's to a lifetime of holding hands and growing old together."

As he spoke, Joshua poured wine into Lysander and Thalassa's glasses and raised his own in a toast.
