The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Between them, the name Leopold had never been mentioned so calmly before. Perhaps it was the relaxed vibe of the conversation that made Thalassa open up to Lysander.

"Yeah, I went to tell him that you and I are getting married, hoping he'd bless us," Thalassa said sincerely, a tight pain gripping her heart at the thought of Leopold.

It had been three years since Leopold passed away. If reincarnation were real, could it be that he had already been reborn?

If reincarnation exists, she hoped Leopold would be forever happy, safe, and joyful.

Without reincarnation, then Leopold had truly become one with the earth, his essence dissolved, along with the past, into thin air.

Lysander's grip on Thalassa's hand tightened, a silent strength meant to comfort her. He knew Thalassa harbored guilt when it came to Leopold. This guilt wouldn't fade with time; instead, it deepened as the days passed.

Only care and love could help her overcome this burden.

"What's Leopold's brother's name? Do you know?" Lysander suddenly asked Thalassa.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Curiously, Thalassa glanced at Lysander's profile. "I don't even know his full name."

"His name is Derek Sinclair, just a letter short of Leopold," Lysander revealed the name of Leopold's brother to Thalassa.

"Oh right, Derek, Amelia mentioned

him," Thalassa recalled after

Lysander's prompt, suddenly

remembering the conversation. They had talked about the baby at

the hospital when they bumped into Amelia and Payton, but it had

stipped her mind.

"That child was conceived two years after Leopold passed. Do you think it's possible he was born under Leopold's blessing?" Lysander turned to Thalassa, his voice tender.

His words softened Thalassa's

heart, as if light had prated a dark corner, illuminating a previously shadowed part of her heart. That corner once touched, would ache, but now it seemed the sunlight had eased the pain.

Thalassa, moved and regarding Lysander with reverence, pondered if Derek was indeed born under Leopold's blessing. She wished for Derek's lifelong health and happiness.

Lysander noticed the light in Thalassa's eyes brighten, and his mood lifted with her newfound clarity. Linking his arm around her shoulder, he brought her closer and led her out of the movie theater.

Today, when Rosalind intentionally

spoke in his presence of Thalassa visiting Leopold's grave, Lysander chose to trust Thalassa

immediately, unlike before when he would react with rage. Mentioning Leopold was a deliberate attempt by Lysander to open Thalassa's heart, to engage her in a deeper

conversation. There was no need for her to feel so tense about Leopold.

That night, having opened up and being understood by Lysander, Thalassa slept soundly.

Three days later, Thalassa woke up to find Lysander adjusting his tie in the mirror.

Curious, she asked, "Hey, why haven't you gone to work yet?"

It was Monday, the start of the workweek.

"I've got something planned today, and you need to get up too. I'm taking you somewhere," Lysander said.
