The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet



"Because you deserve to be loved," David blurted out unexpectedly.

Not only did Rosalind freeze in surprise, but David himself was taken aback by his own words. He had only meant to think it, not say it aloud. Was this something he could actually say in front of Rosalind?

Rosalind was stunned, looking at David with a mix of astonishment and disbelief. The words he had just let slip seemed too intimate, as if hinting at something more, throwing her already flustered heart into further disarray.

David, equally shocked, found himself at a loss for words, unsure how to retract his sudden declaration. On the bustling city street, amidst the cacophony of honking cars and passing crowds, there was a moment of silence between them, as if they were the only two people in the world.

Time seemed to stand still until the surrounding noises slowly crept back into David's awareness. He awkwardly attempted to smile, ready to offer some explanation.

Just then, Joshua's anxious voice called from behind, "Rosalind, dear, why did you rush off like that?"Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing Joshua, David quickly turned, a bit flustered, and said, "Mr. Whitman, I've made sure Rosalind is safe. Please remind her not to jaywalk. It's dangerous. I've got to run, got things to take care of."

With that, David hurried off towards his office. Out of Rosalind and Joshua's sight, he wiped the sweat from his brow and exhaled a sigh of relief. That was close! What was he thinking, getting so involved in a woman's business?

Rosalind, still puzzled, watched David's retreating figure, seemingly lost in thought.

"Rosalind, what's wrong?" Joshua nudged her arm, concern in his voice.

Rosalind's gaze lingered on the entrance to David's office as she murmured, more to herself than to Joshua, "What did he mean by that?"

"Ah, Rosalind, I've told you before,

Lysander and Thalassa are deeply in love, already blessed with two kids Their marriage is a joyful union. It's time to let go of Lysander. There are plenty of fish in the sea, you'll find someone right for you."

Joshua thought Rosalind was daydreaming about Lysander's company because she couldn't let him go, as if even looking at his office was a way to be close to him. He tried to console her with a heavy

heart. .

Only then did Rosalind turn her attention back from David to Joshua, "Dad, what did you just say?"

"I said you should wish Lysander and Thalassa well," Joshua replied.

"No, the part after that," Rosalind prompted.

"Let go of Lysander. There are plenty of men out there, one of them is meant for you," Joshua repeated.

"How come you're saying the same thing he did?" Rosalind frowned.

"Who, who else said that?" Joshua looked around, realizing there was no one else but David who had just left.

"David gave you advice too?" Joshua

asked, suddenly recalling David's words. Joshua grew anxious, "You were jaywalking earlier? That's very dangerous, Rosalind. Don't act recklessly without thinking of your safety. Nothing is more important than your own life!"

Joshua became stern, emphasizing the lesson.
