The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Chapter 160

Chapter 160

Heaning her child’s innocent voice, Thalassa’s panicky mood was instantly soothed.

In a flash, she felt helpless and confused. Hastily wiping away her tears and straightening up, she past

ed a smile on her face, heading to the bedside, trying to sound as gentle as possible, “Atticus, how com

e you’re up so early?”

Atticus Everhart, with his diamond bright eyes, was looking at Thalassa. Seeing her reddened eyes and

the tip of her nose also red, it was clear she had been crying.

It tugged at Atticus heartstrings.

He extended his chubby hand, placed it on Thalassa’s face, and tenderly stroked her cheek, whisperin

g. “Mom, did someone pick on

you?”

Just woken up, his hand was warm, felt like cotton, comforting and soothing.

Thalassa felt like her heart would melt under his warm and intelligent gaze.

With a smile playing at the comers of her mouth, she said, “No, I’m Superman. Who could bully me?”

Concern filled Atticus‘ face, like a little adult, “Mom, you’re not Superman. You can get hurt and need pr

otection. It would be great if we could find Dad. Dad could protect you.”

Last time, when Hertha

Kensington took Atticus and Dorian to the police station, seeing Thalassa locked up there, Atticus felt li

ke his heart was being pricked with needles.

He only blamed himself for being too young and powerless to protect Thalassa..

But dad was an adult. If they could find dad, he could protect Thalassa.

Ever since then, Atticus was even more determined to find his dad.

Hearing this, Thalassa’s smile froze, a bitter taste spreading in her heart, like candy slowly dissolving in

hot water.

She sat on the bed, holding Atticus in her arms, letting him sit sideways on her thigh, with her arm arou

nd him.

She whispered, “Atticus, what if dad isn’t what you imagine, what if he isn’t capable of much love?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Does he love you a lot?” Atticus lifted his head, looking seriously at Thalassa.

Thalassa shook her head, saying, “Not much.”

“If he doesn’t love you, he won’t protect you. Then we don’t need him. We’ll always be with you. When I

grow up, I’ll protect you,” Atticus said very seriously.

Did Thalassa say this because dad was bad to her before?

Then he didn’t need such a dad.

Thalassa felt both sour and moved. Her precious boy being so sensible made her heart ache.

She blinked, kissed Atticus‘ head, her voice a bit hoarse, “I’m very happy to have you guys.”

At night, Isabella, with a face mask on, was plotting against Thalassa.

Just then, the home door was knocked.

She thought her parents were back, so she opened the door.

Standing at the door were two tall, well–trained bodyguards in black suits, obviously men of status.

Isabella was a little unsettled, asking, “Who are you looking for?”

“Isabella, Mr. Sinclair wants to see you. Can you come with us?” One of the bodyguards said, expressi

onless.

Isabella was taken away.
