The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 319

Elowen was hopping around with the pass in her hand, buzzing with excitement.

Seeing the child so thrilled, Evelyn didn’t have the heart to say anything else and she took a deep breath.

“Alright, we're off now,” Thalassa told the staff.

The trip to the mall, far from being a relaxing experience for Thalassa, had her on edge, her emotions roller-coasting between fear and anxiety.

She was pretty freaked out.

By the time they got home, the kids were wiped out.

Evelyn headed into the kitchen to whip up some grub.

Thalassa got the kids in a line, helping them wash their hands and faces.

Their faces were smeared with lollipop residue, looking like little sugar-coated kittens.

Thalassa cleaned them up.

Soon, Evelyn had the meal ready. It was a simple fare. The kids had already snacked at the mall so they weren't too peckish. After munching a bit, Thalassa herded them off to bed.

The two mothers sat at the dining table, munching on pizza and chatting.

Evelyn had a ton of questions for Thalassa.

And Thalassa had her own list of queries for Evelyn.

Evelyn was impulsive to be the first to pop the question, “Didn’t that Lysander guy ditch you because he looked down on your status? Why are you still hanging out with him?”

Thalassa was a bit thrown off by the question. She had been trying to shake off Lysander.

She was filled with a sense of injustice and pain that was almost overpowering.

Thalassa moved a little closer, her clear eyes full of seriousness and curiosity, “Mom, what’s the deal between you and Bruce? Why did he claim to be my dad?”

This was a question she had wanted to ask for a long time, but she never found the right opportunity.

The mention of Bruce got Evelyn all hot under the collar. She slammed the tableware on the table, saying, “He sweet-talked me when we were young. I was all set to marry him. I never thought he was playing the field!”

Thalassa’s heart rate went up. She asked tentatively, “So, am I really his daughter?”

Evelyn glanced at her, “When I found out he was two-timing, I broke up with him. But then I found out I was pregnant. He said all the right things and promised to marry me right away. I thought he would turn over a new leaf. But he never cut ties with those other women. One of them was a wealthy socialite. He was fooling her for her money, and he even egged her on to elope with him.”

Hearing all this, Thalassa was livid. She said angrily, “You're right, mom. He's a grade-A jerk!”
