The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 587

He was seated where he had a clear view of Thalassa.

Thalassa had been engrossed in her steak when she glanced up and found herself confronting a pair of intense eyes. She looked up, startled, to find Leopold's gaze on her.

It took her breath away.

"Jealous much?" Lysander's voice broke the silence, deep and cold.

Thalassa snapped back to reality, her panicky eyes meeting his stern, deep-set ones.

She could sense the danger radiating off him. Her heart started pounding.

"Of course not..." Thalassa stammered.

"Good," Lysander's cold voice rang out, his brooding eyes fixed on her. "I gave you a chance. Once you've made your choice, there's no turning back. Got it?"

His domineering presence hung heavily over her.

Thalassa's hand tightened slightly around her knife and fork as she responded, "I understand."

She knew what he meant by the chance he had given her.

When she and her children were found in Hollowbrook, he had taken the children and told her that if she wanted to run away with Leopold, he would have let her!

At that time, her heart was entirely with her children. She chose to go with him, leaving Leopold behind.

Without hesitation, she chose her children, even agreeing to become his woman so that she could see her children whenever she wanted.

From the moment she made that choice, she and Leopold were over.

No, perhaps since that night five years ago, she and Leopold were over.

Lysander's domineering nature was suffocating her.

Her words suggested that he was the only one in her eyes.

Lysander, his eyes piercing, watched her without saying a word.

At the table behind them, the waiter brought over a steak. Debby cut a piece and placed it on Leopold's plate, "You take the first bite."

Without hesitation, Leopold returned the steak to her plate, "I have my own. You eat this."

Debby pouted slightly in disappointment, "Why can't you be more romantic? Just now, Lysander cut a steak for Thalassa, and she ate it. That's what I call romance. Can't you learn from him?"

Leopold's expression darkened. His heart was heavy as stone.
