The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 67

Isabella was always badmouthing her, and she now wanted to smear Astrid in front of everybody else.

Thalassa wouldn't have it.

Astrid was a genuine and kind person; she was never a card shark. She was always working in the fields or weeding her vegetable plot.

How on earth could Astrid be at a poker table?

After hearing Thalassa's objection, Isabella became so nervous that she could now hear her own heart pounding.

She was worried that Thalassa might blurt out that Astrid had taken the kids out.

Just when Isabella’s nervousness began to cause her fingers to shake, Thalassa spoke up again.

"Astrid's out; she’s not at home now."

After saying this, she turned to Lysander. "Mr. Sinclair, have a seat. I'll go pick some veggies from my garden for cooking later, okay?"

She moved over a chair that was dusty and had cobwebs on it.

She really didn't know why Lysander had come to her house.

Since he was Isabella's boyfriend, wouldn't it be better to go directly to Isabella's place?

Did he come to her place to mock her with Isabella?

Or to make fun of Astrid?

Thalassa was very displeased with Isabella. After she had seen Isabella's dirty tricks, she didn't want to get too close to her in case she became her target again.

She deliberately moved over a chair full of dust. Lysander was neat, tidy, noble, and handsome. She wanted to see if he could bear to sit down.

"Mr. Sinclair is a very distinguished man; how could he sit on such a dirty chair? Mr. Sinclair, come to my house. I've made quite a bit of money doing business these past few years and built a big house with marble floors, not like here, with dirt floors." Isabella was desperate to get Lysander back to her house; she couldn't let him stay at Thalassa's for long.

As long as Lysander went to her house, everything could be discussed.

Good thing he left; otherwise, she really didn't know how to deal with such a picky person.

David drove away from Hollowbrook.

The road there was very narrow, and if he drove a bit faster, he worried the wheels would get stuck in the cement.

So David drove very slowly.

Ahead of the car, a middle-aged woman was leading two little girls towards him.

The road was too narrow, so both people and cars couldn't pass at the same time.

David stopped the car, planning to let them pass first.

Evelyn was leading Elowen and Sophia; they had just finished picking reeds and had reached the main road.
