Chapter 1424 

Hertha was wracking her brain, trying to come up with an answer

Alanc’s intense gaze was fixed on her, waiting for her response with stern anticipation

The seriousness of his stare left Hertha nowhere to hide. She felt a chill in her heart, her eyes darting around as she desperately searched for an excuse

But that’s the thing about people, the more anxious they are, the less likely they are to come up with a good idea

Having trouble with the question?Alaric asked, his eyebrow raised inquisitively as she remained silent

Of course not,Hertha quickly retorted, finally finding her voice. I used to help Thalassa with her four kids, you know. I spent a lot of time with Thalassa’s mother, Evelyn Pendleton, taking care of those children. So, I understand the concerns of the elderly.

And you think I’m not a match?he asked, seizing the opportunity to probe deeper

For three years, he’d been smothered by Georgia’s fiery temper, often missing Hertha’s straightforwardness and boldness

Out of all the women he’d been with, it was Hertha he missed the most, and he couldn’t fathom why. Perhaps it was because she was the only one he had feelings for

Hertha was stunned. Alaric was actually asking her such questions. He had a fiancée, and asking her such a question seemed quite out of place

There was no chance for her and him

1… 

Hertha, I haven’t stopped thinking about you in the past three years” 

Alaric’s confession was abruptly interrupted by a sudden voice

Hertha, you’re back

The voice drew their attention 

Hertha and Alaric turned to see Spencer approaching. Tall and refined, with a scholarly air about him, he wore goldrimmed glasses and carried two plastic bags filled with groceriesvegetables, meats, toilet paper, soy sauce, and even ingredients for a hearty
