The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 436

Thalassa glanced up at Lysander, who was too engrossed in his breakfast to spare her a second's attention.

Sitting poised and regal, he was a picture of elegance as he punctured his fried egg with his fork, the yolk running like molten gold onto his plate. Not a single peripheral glance was given her way.

Thalassa's eyelashes fluttered down in disappointment, a small laugh escaping her lips. She picked up the tiny birth control pill, tossed it into her mouth, and washed it down with a gulp of orange juice.

She didn't utter a word as she helped herself to a bowl of oatmeal. She ate quickly, ignoring the plentiful spread before her. Once the oatmeal was gone, she placed the bowl down and declared, "I'm full. I'll be leaving now."

With that, she stood and walked away.

Lysander didn't stop her. He continued his breakfast, his eyes as deep and mournful as a snow-laden sky.

Thalassa felt a sinking sensation in her heart, a mix of sadness and anger bubbling within her.

Even though he didn't utter a word, his actions spoke volumes. She wasn't worthy of carrying his child, and he would never let her bear his offspring. He had never even considered a future with her.

The realization was a bitter pill to swallow, worse than the actual contraceptive she had just ingested.
