The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)
Chapter 1472

Although Thalassa didn't want to hear what Matilda had to say, every word seemed to pierce her ears without missing a beat.

Anything related to Lysander was a sensitive topic for Thalassa. Even without preparing herself to listen, her ears instinctively caught every word.

Three years ago, Zephyr had discussed with Joshua the possibility of arranging a marriage between Rosalind and Lysander?

Rosalind had waited for Lysander for three years because of Zephyr's words?

Thalassa's nerves tensed, and a chill spread through her body.

She remembered that three years ago, when she visited Susan in the hospital, Zephyr had suddenly appeared, and while refusing to let Susan stay by Lysander's side, he had mentioned that Lysander was to marry Miss Whitman.

At the time, Thalassa thought Zephyr's words were just to reject Susan and to make it clear to her that there was no future with Lysander.

But it was true!

The person Zephyr had chosen for Lysander to marry was none other than Rosalind Whitman!

Matilda's sudden mention of this matter caught Joshua off guard, and he glanced worriedly at Thalassa before saying to Matilda, "The Sinclairs haven't brought up this matter. Let's not talk about it anymore." Joshua had agreed to Zephyr's request for an arranged marriage because he hadn't known then that Thalassa was his daughter, nor that she and Lysander had four children together.

He thought Thalassa was just another woman in Lysander's life, bound to part ways eventually.

He hadn't realized the depth of Thalassa and Lysander's connection.

Had he known earlier that Thalassa was his daughter and that she and Lysander had pledged themselves to each other, he would never have agreed to Zephyr's proposal for Rosalind and Lysander. Matilda, fully aware of Thalassa and Lysander's relationship, brought up the topic out of the blue, putting Thalassa in an awkward position.

Joshua, concerned for Thalassa's feelings, tried to change the subject.

"Lysander has been in a coma for three years, and Thalassa has been taking care of him. Everyone can see her devotion," Joshua said.

"The Sinclairs haven't mentioned Lysander and Rosalind's engagement because of Lysander's condition these past years. Zephyr is probably worried about Rosalind turning him down. Just because the Sinclairs are silent, doesn't mean we should ignore the issue," Matilda said, as if she couldn't grasp Joshua's hint, sticking to her original subject.

After speaking, she glanced at Thalassa with a noblewoman's disdain, adding, "Thalassa is tending to Lysander as a hired caregiver, just like Royal Estates' staff. The staff gets paid, and isn't she the same? Which of Royal Estates' employees doesn't care for Lysander?"

She implied that Thalassa was no different from any other employee hired to care for Lysander.

"Mom, Lysander is so accomplished, and handsome too. Any woman would be moved by just one glance at him. You can't reduce Thalassa's feelings for Lysander to those of a servant for her master," Rosalind interjected, her brows arching as if she was defending Thalassa, but her insinuation was clear: Thalassa's affection for Lysander was unrequited and self-imposed.

Listening to their exchange, Thalassa felt a suffocating pressure. She set down her silverware and said, "I've lost my appetite. I'll be going now."

With that, she stood up and left.

Joshua hurried after her, calling, "Thalassa..."
