The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 726

Leopold's voice was as smooth as velvet. It was brimming with concern and urgency.

Just like five years ago, he was tender and understanding towards her.

Thalassa felt her heart break. Her eyes welled up with tears that she could no longer hold back.

Despite the recent danger, she hadn't cried.

But now, at the sound of Leopold's caring voice, she could no longer contain her emotions. Her urge to cry was overwhelming.

"It's okay now. Don't be scared." Leopold, seeing her tears, felt a wrenching ache in his heart. He pulled her into his arms and held her gently.

He wanted to hold her tight and give her warmth and security.

But her rigid body and the trembling hand clutching his collar made him soften his embrace.

Thalassa didn't cry out loud, but her tears fell uncontrollably, dotting the bedspread. She gritted her teeth as she struggled to control her emotions.

"Leopold, I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to scare her a little." Charlotte weakly explained from the doorway.

Originally, she had intended to leave, but when she saw Leopold rush from the elevator to the room, she turned back.

With Leopold present, she didn't dare to overstep.

Leopold shot Charlotte a fierce glare. "Get out!"

Startled, Charlotte's heart beat erratically under his gaze.

Sulkily, she retreated to the doorway, ready to leave. But after seeing Leopold cradle Thalassa so intimately and protectively, she had a sudden idea.

She didn't leave, but instead hid outside and switched on her phone's camera to secretly film the couple inside.

Leopold, completely focused on Thalassa, held her close with one hand on her back and the other holding her hand. His gaze was filled with nothing but her. "Thalassa, I'm sorry. I should've gotten to you sooner."

He rushed into the hotel, only to see two men escorting Thalassa into an elevator. Despite his efforts to catch up, the elevator doors closed, and it left without him.

Charlotte, realizing she had been discovered, quickly hid her phone and tapped save before opening a chat with Lysander on WhatsApp.

"Charlotte, give me the phone!" Thalassa demanded as she reached for the phone.

Charlotte held it high above her head, out of reach.

Leopold strode over and snatched the phone from Charlotte's hand.

As she lunged at him, he held the phone behind his back with one hand and kept her at bay with the other.

"Charlotte, do you find reenacting old tricks amusing?" Leopold asked icily.

"Afraid of your own actions being exposed? Last time you deleted the evidence, are you planning on doing it again?" Charlotte panted as she continued to fight for the phone.

Thalassa quickly took the phone from Leopold and stepped back to delete the video Charlotte had captured.
