The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 626

Zephyr just finished taking care of Grandma Sybil's body.

His expression was sorrowful. His once tall and majestic figure seemed to have aged overnight. He looked more like a frail old man, burdened by grief.

His eyes, clouded with pain, fell on Thalassa, who was seated on the couch. A flash of anger crossed his face, but he managed to suppress it, given the presence of his kids. He approached them, his expression stern.

He addressed Lysander, "Lysander, take the kids out to the yard for a while. I need to talk to Ms. Everhart alone."

Lysander's deep gaze lingered on Thalassa for a moment. He carried Elowen in one arm while reaching out to hold her hand with the other, “I’ll take you guys to play some catch in the yard.”

Elowen quickly pulled her hand away, diving into Thalassa's arms, "I don't want to play catch. I want to be with Mom."

Her father had just yelled at her mother, and it scared her.

She didn't want her dad. She wanted her mom.

Dorian and Atticus stood close to Thalassa, unwilling to leave. Not only were they clinging to Thalassa, but they were also trying to protect her, to defend her.

Sophia, held in Lysander's arms, was so scared she couldn't move or even cry.

Thalassa felt the children's fear and lack of security.

It brought tears to her eyes. She was so useless that not only could she not protect her children, but her children had to protect her. They also had to worry for her.

She gave the children a gentle, loving smile, "You go play with your dad first. Mom needs to talk to your great-grandpa for a bit. I'll come play with you soon, okay?"

"But, talking is scary. Great-grandma and Evelyn talked, and they were taken away. I don't want mom to be taken away," Elowen clung to Thalassa tightly.
