Chapter 1668
Seeing Alaric’s stern expression, Kimberly thought she had touched upon a topic he couldn’t stomach, and that he was about to lose his temper. She quickly said, “It wasn’t right for Hertha to hide from you that she was a mom before you two got together, but she had her reasons. It was all because she felt too deeply…”
“Don’t worry, I know what kind of person Hertha is,” Alaric reassured Kimberly.
When Kimberly first mentioned that Hertha had a child, Alaric was indeed taken aback. But now, hearing Kimberly explain that Hertha had hidden the fact that she was a mother, Alaric’s mind raced to the time Hertha had treated Thalassa’s child as her own and even declared to Lysander that the child was hers.
She had hidden the truth not just from Lysander, but from him as well.
Alaric had originally thought Hertha was a widow, which made him keep his distance. It was only later that he found out the child wasn’t actually Hertha’s.
Kimberly must be talking about this.

Hearing Alaric say he understood what kind of person Hertha was, Kimberly nodded in relief, taking his words as a sign there might still be a chance for reconciliation.
“So, do you think you could consider getting back together with Hertha? Don’t worry, if you ever want kids of your own, as long as your relationship is stable, it’s still possible,” Kimberly pressed on, seizing the moment.
Alaric was a bit scrambled. Did Hertha’s parents really think Thalassa’s four children were actually Hertha’s?
Had she not told them the truth?
What kind of story had she spun to her parents?
Alaric stroked his chin, asking doubtfully, “What did Hertha tell you about how we broke up?”
“Just recently, she said you couldn’t handle her being a single mom, and that’s why you two split,” Kimberly relayed Hertha’s exact words to Alaric. Alaric’s eyes narrowed in confusion, but then a spark of intrigue lit up his gaze.
It had been three years since he and Hertha had parted ways, yet Hertha had told her parents they had only just broken up recently, with the reason being his inability to accept her supposed status as a single mother. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
But the thing was, she wasn’t a single mother at all. Ads by PubFuture
Was she hiding the truth from her parents, using it as an excuse for their breakup?
Had she used the same excuse with Spencer?
Hertha truly was a mystery, Alaric mused. How many boyfriends had she had over the years, and how many times had she used that excuse with her parents?
As Alaric pondered, he suddenly remembered something else Hertha had said – about her fantasies with other men that weren’t him.
Did Hertha have a new boyfriend?
The thought made Alaric’s heart clench, but he managed a slight smile and told Kimberly, “She might have misunderstood. I said I needed to think about our relationship, not that I wanted to break up.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Really?” Kimberly’s eyes lit up, visibly cheered by the news but then becoming anxious again, “So, what do you mean by ‘thinking about your relationship’? That could be

Alaric glanced at Kimberly’s hopeful, anxious expression. He leisurely twisted open a bottle of water, took a slow sip without a rush to answer.
