Chapter 1839
From across the room, Alaric’s voice came through the phone, laced with impatience, “Georgia, have you lost your mind? Why on earth are you calling me now?”
He was utterly fed up with Georgia.
Despite his clear disinterest, shown by his constant rejection of her calls, Georgia persisted in dialing his number relentlessly.
His annoyance knew no bounds!

Alaric, if you don’t intervene now, I’m calling the cops this instant to have her arrested for assault!” Hearing this, Hertha was flabbergasted.

When Alaric hurried over, weaving through the crowded mall to a quieter corner, he found Hertha and Georgia.

The toddler, a little over two years old, had stopped crying but his face was still streaked with tears.

Georgia, holding the child, deliberately avoided looking at Hertha, as if beneath her notice.
Seeing this, Alaric quickly approached, his first words filled with concern, “Hertha, are you alright?”
He had rushed over, slightly out of breath.
Hertha stood up, intending to step toward him but then reconsidering their awkward situation.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“It was you who did it on purpose!” Georgia accused as she stood up, her voice filled with emotion.
