The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa
Chapter 486

Chapter 486 

“Mom, what happened to your face?” Atticus was the first to notice the bandage on Thalassa’s cheek. 

The bandage was small, and no one had noticed the wound on Thalassa’s face in their early excitement. 

Atticus was half sprawled on Thalassa, his little face burrowed into her chest. When he looked up, he saw the white bandage on her face – the unmistakable sign of an injury. 

As soon as Atticus voiced his concern, the other little ones also looked up; their eyes were drawn to Thalassa’s cheek.

“Does it hurt, mom? I can blow on it for you.” Sophia scrambled up from Thalassa’s lap, puckered her lips, and gently blew air towards Thalassa’s bandaged face. 

Her soft and tender gesture was both heartwarming and endearing. 

“Did someone hurt you, mom?” Dorian’s eyes welled up with tears at the thought of his mom being hurt. 

“Mom, um…” Elowen, who was just snuggling up moments ago, now looked at Thalassa with a pained expression. 

“It’s okay, it’s just a minor scratch. I’m not in pain, my little darlings. Don’t worry.” Thalassa sat up and comforted her little ones. 

With the love and concern from her children, Thalassa felt an overwhelming sense of happiness; it washed away all her pain and discomfort. 

She had fought to have her children stay by her side regardless of her difficulties. Whenever she missed them, she knew she could see them anytime. 

Life couldn’t get any more perfect than this. 

Perhaps this was why she insisted on keeping the kids hidden from Lysander. 

Evelyn, who was just grumbling about Thalassa’s absence, instantly became concerned when she saw the wound. With a frown, she asked, “What happened? Was it because of that man again?” 

“No, mom, I was just being careless. Don’t worry, it’ll heal in a few days,” Thalassa reassured her and looked unconcerned about her facial wound. 

Hearing her say this, Atticus and Dorian exchanged a look. Their silent communication spoke volumes. 

Thalassa then led her children to the couch, “Have you been behaving well for Grandma these past few days?” 

“Yes, we have,” the kids chorused. 

“You don’t have to worry about the children; you should worry about yourself. They are much more sensible than you,” Evelyn retorted as she rolled her eyes. 

With that, she went off to prepare dinner. 

Thalassa knew that her mother was just being her typical self. She had a soft heart despite of her harsh words. So she took her mother’s words lightly. After spending some time with her children, Thalassa went to help Evelyn in the kitchen. 

Meanwhile, the children huddled together in their room, plotting their next move. 

“Mom has been hurt by Lysander again. We have to protect her.” Atticus declared. 

Dorian nodded, “That’s all because mom broke one of Lysander’s antiques. We can’t let him bully her.” 

Elowen mumbled, “Poor mom… it hurts.” 

Sophia clenched her tiny fists, her brows furrowed, “Let’s protect mom!” 

Atticus devised a plan, “We need to help mom pay back Lysander. Sophia’s pendant sold for 200,000, and Elowen’s prize from the gourmet competition was 200,000. We only have 400,000 in total, we need more. We have to find ways to earn more money.” 

Dorian gave a firm nod, “We have to find ways to earn more money.” 

“But how?” Elowen’s wide eyes sparkled with anticipation. As a food lover, she didn’t know how to handle the rest part. 

Sophia furrowed her brow, also pondering the same problem.
