Chapter 1426
“You really shouldn’t have, I’m starting to feel bad about this,” Hertha chuckled, scratching her head.
Spencer lived in the same apartment complex, so when Alaric had asked Hertha if they both resided there, she confirmed it without hesitation. They were even in the same building, albeit on different floors.
So, Hertha’s response to Alaric wasn’t totally a lie.
“Oh c’mon, you’re always dropping by with cookies or a pie for me. It’s just being neighborly, no need for any awkwardness,” Spencer said with an amiable smile.

With that, she bent over and gathered Helena into her embrace.
