The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 83

"Alright." Elowen lowered her lashes. Her enthusiasm from just a moment ago had faded as her long lashes hid the disappointment in her eyes.

Thalassa was taken aback, "Mom, I'm about to head to work. Why are you setting me up on a blind date?"

"The place is a restaurant near the Sinclair Group. You can go there now, have a meal, and then head to work. Get moving."

Evelyn grabbed her purse for her and nudged her out the door.

Thalassa had no choice but to leave.

Atticus and Dorian returned to their room and closed the door.

Atticus, acting all grown-up, said to Dorian, "Grandma's trying to find a stepdad for us."

Dorian pouted, "I don't want a stepdad."

"But if Mom likes him, we have to respect her decision." Atticus was a total mama's boy.

"But what if Mom doesn't like him?" Dorian was worried about his mom getting hurt.

"We'll go and sneak a peek, so we can see if Mom likes him or not." Atticus's eyes, full of young wisdom, glittered in the dark.

"Uh huh, alright." Dorian nodded vigorously.

After lunch, Atticus and Dorian wanted Astrid to take them outside to play.

Evelyn objected and told them to play at home.

Dorian's large, beautiful eyes filled with tears as he looked pitifully at Evelyn, "Grandma, I want to go to the park. I haven't been outside for so long that I'm actually getting moldy."

She wasn't keen on the blind date, but her mom had gone ahead and arranged it. She had to play along to avoid giving people something to gossip about.

"I heard you have four kids, but I don't mind. I'm quite satisfied with you. If it's alright with you, I can take half a day off work this afternoon, and we can get the marriage paperwork done," said Mr. Cooper as he adjusted his glasses.

Thalassa nearly choked on her water. The shock of his statement caught her off guard.

Before she could recover, Mr. Cooper continued, "However, after we're married, I won't be responsible for your four kids. You'll have to give me two more kids. I'll take full responsibility for our children. Your four kids can be raised by your mother."

Thalassa managed to get the water down, looked at him, gave a cold laugh, and said, "I'm afraid, Mr. Cooper, you've got it all wrong. You might be satisfied with me, but I'm not satisfied with you. Don't trouble yourself; after all, I do have four kids."

What a freak show! And it seemed like there was a new act every year. Her mom always introduced her to the weirdest people.

She was about to get up and leave when the man grabbed her hand with a strong grip, "Thalassa, I was told you were satisfied with me. Don't play hard to get; we're a match made in heaven."
