The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa (PDF)

Chapter 277

She bent down to hug him, speaking softly, “Atticus, you're only four, still a kid, you should be having fun playing with other kids. Look, they're all having a blast, isn't that great?”

“But I want to play on the tablet at home.” Atticus confessed, thinking the kindergarten games were too childish and he'd rather stay at home learning to code, playing those high-tech hacker games. The games required thinking, but they were fun.

Thalassa was taken aback. She had no idea that Atticus was a genius hacker. She thought he was just addicted to video games, and now, at such a young age, he was missing out on the fun of real life.

She said seriously, “Atticus, the world inside the tablet is virtual, it's all fake. The people and things around us are real. You can't just want to play games. How about this? Mom will make a deal with you: you can only play on the tablet for half an hour a day and the rest of the time you read or play with your siblings, okay?”

Atticus thought for a moment. Half an hour was actually a lot of time to learn.

Seeing his mom's worried face, he knew she was worried about him.

To ease his mom's concern, he nodded in agreement, “Okay, Mom.”

"You're such a good boy and you're amazing.” Thalassa was relieved.

Evelyn returned from grocery shopping and walked in to see Thalassa talking to Atticus. She gave Atticus a glance, then did a double take. “Hmm, why does Atticus look familiar? I feel like I've seen a face like his somewhere. Where could it be?”

Evelyn massaged her temples, thinking hard.

Watching Evelyn struggle to figure out who Atticus resembled, Thalassa’s heart tightened with worry.

If Evelyn found out that the children’s father was Lysander, she would definitely go after him, making him acknowledge his children.

That would be troublesome.

Lysander had a fiancee, and he was bound to marry the heiress of the Ravensong group, Charlotte. Where would that leave her?

She was nothing.

She only had four children. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Atticus is handsome so he must look like some TV star.” Thalassa quickly said, successfully diverting Evelyn's attention.

“Yes, he looks like some movie star, a handsome one, but I can't remember his name for the life of me.” Evelyn said, having an aha moment, and then walked into the kitchen.

Atticus was waiting for his mom to say he looked like her boss, but Thalassa said he looked like a star.

So, his mom still wouldn't admit Lysander was their dad.

So was Lysander their dad or not?

Atticus felt confused and lost.

“Mom, where are the fries and fried chicken you promised to bring me?”

Thalassa's sleeve was tugged, and looking down, she saw Elowen pulling her dress, her little cute face full of cravings for food.

Only then did Thalassa remember she had promised Elowen that morning to bring her some yummy food.

But she was called for dinner after work today, got into trouble with Charlotte, and was then driven home by Leopold.

She didn't even have a chance to buy fried chicken or fries, let alone remember them.

Feeling sorry, Thalassa said, “I'm sorry, Elowen. Mom was too busy and forgot. How about I go get it for you now?”

"What's the point of buying it? Dinner's almost ready.” Evelyn stood at the kitchen doorway with a spatula and said, “You're the only one earning money for the whole family, we

need to save where we can. I used the money you gave me yesterday to buy baby formula and pay rent, there's not much left.”
