Chapter 1533Alaric and Hertha had just shared a moment, their bodies brushing against each other in a way that was too intimate to ignore. Spencer was right
outside. He must have seen everything
Even though Hertha was married to Spencer, and Alaric wasn’t happy about it, the last thing he wanted was to ruin their relationship.
He didn’t want Spencer to get the wrong idea, become jealous, or angry. After all, if Spencer got upset. Hertha would surely feel it too. And Alaric

Spencer looked away from them, reaching for a piece of meat, and said, “It’s fine. Thanks for catching her, or she would’ve ended up with another
concussion.”
Watching Spencer’s reaction, Alaric frowned, almost imperceptibly.
Why did it seem like Spencer didn’t really care about Hertha?
His words thanked Alaric for saving Hertha, but his actions suggested he was unfazed by their close contact or the risk of her getting hurt!

On the surface, Spencer and Hertha seemed like a loving couple, but when it came to the big things in life, Spencer’s concern for Hertha seemed
lacking!

Seeing Alaric staring at Spencer with a serious expression, Hertha swallowed nervously, trying to break the tension with a laugh. “Yeah, Alaric, thanks
for that. Otherwise, I would’ve been face-planting into the dirt again. risking another concussion, and possibly losing my job.”
Alaric turned to her, his gaze intense. “ls your company giving you trouble?”
There was a seriousness in his eyes that suggested he was ready to confront her managers on her behalf.
Hertha had finally made a breakthrough with her designs and stabilized her job; she didn’t want any complications.
“No, I’m just worried about not being able to work if I get injured.” Ads by PubFuture

How could she explain it without raising Alaric’s suspicions?
In the midst of Hertha’s anxious thoughts, Alaric spoke up, “Do you and Spencer have a child?”
After asking, Alaric’s heart tensed, his eyes locked on Hertha. He didn’t know why he was so nervous, afraid of what her answer might be.
Curiosity had driven him to ask, yet.
