The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa (PDF)
Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Evelyn wouldn't let Thalassa go out to buy fried chicken, and Thalassa knew it was going to be a hard sell to convince her.

But when she saw Elowen's cute little face, with her eyes filled with anticipation, then the immediate look of disappointment. Thalassa's heart ached.

Cradling Elowen. Thalassa whispered in her ear, “Mom ordered fried chicken legs and fries for delivery. When they get here, we'll enjoy the surprise together, okay?”

Elowen immediately burst into laughter. “Yes.”

Realizing she might have been a tad too loud and could spill the beans on their little secret, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Still, the joy on her face was unmistakable.

After leaving work early in the afternoon, Lysander went to the cemetery.

Zephyr and Sybil were already waiting for him there.

in front of them were two gravestones, one for Lysander's father, Barnett Sinclair, and the other for his mother, Belinda Sinclair.

The setting sun cast a glow on the two gravestones, illuminating the pictures on them and giving off a deep sense of sorrow.

The shadows of the surrounding trees swayed in the wind, adding to the melancholic atmosphere. Holding two bouquets, Lysander approached the graves. One bouquet of carnations he placed in front of Belinda's grave, and a bouquet of marigolds in front of Barnett's.

Lysander’s parents died when he was very young.

His memories of them had become blurry.

Even looking at their photos, he couldn't recall the times he spent with them as a child,

His memories of his parents were very few, mainly of them fighting, with their things smashed all over the house.

His childhood lacked the atmosphere of his parents’ love and their tender care.

His childhood was filled with endless arguments and being used as a pawn in their games

Zephyr stared at the photo of his son on the gravestone, a look of sorrow on his face.

“If only I had stopped your father back then and told him not to love that woman from the countryside with no background, he wouldn't have died so tragically.” Zephyr still regretted it, knowing their social statuses didn’t match and that such a love story was doomed.

But back then, Barnett was determined to be with Belinda.

Zephyr didn't stop him, thinking that everyone had their own fate and finding a woman he truly love wasn't easy.

So, he agreed to Barnett and Belinda’s marriage. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But he never expected that this woman was so cunning and vile.

Lysander remained silent while Sybil said, “It's been so long, it's pointless to dwell on the past now.” She started wiping away her tears.

Barnett was her son, and the pain of a mother losing her child was indescribable.

Thankfully, Barnett left behind Lysander, and over the years, Sybil poured all the love she had for Barnett into him.

Every time she saw Lysander, it was as if her son was still alive.

Seeing Sybil so heartbroken, Zephyr also felt pain. He said, “Although the incident has passed, we lost an excellent son, and that pain is eternal. I don't care about right or wrong, I just want to learn from this and prevent it from happening again. Belinda marrying Barnett should have been enough, but she had affairs with another man. She was already a mother, but she was not behaving herself. I don't know what she wanted. If it wasn't for her inability to completely cut ties with that man, Barnett wouldn't have fought with her. Worse still, when she wanted to elope with that man, Barnett went after her, and they both ended up in a car accident.”
