Chapter 25 Did You Sleep with My Mom?

"My name's Alaric," he answered truthfully.

"Then why are you answering my mom's phone? Where is she?"

"She's asleep."

"You slept together?!" Elisa was utterly shocked, 'Didn't mom returned to the country just recently? How did she end up in bed with a man so soon!'

'TV shows always say that when a guy and a girl sleep together, babies come into the picture!'

Beside Elisa, with the phone to his ear, Caspian was absolutely dumbfounded. What on earth was happening? Harry had mentioned something about actions having irreversible consequences, but could things really spiral out of control this fast?

"You have to take responsibility for my mom!" Elisa demanded angrily, "What's your story? How did you end up sleeping with my mom?"

"You might want to ask your mom about that when she wakes up. She knows best," he suggested.

'Galatea alone knew how she had worked her charms on Caspian, climbing the social ladder step by step,' Alaric thought to himself.

"She's out there snagging a boyfriend and not even telling us," Elisa complained, her frustration was on the verge of boiling over. "So, you're Alaric? I want to see what you look like, pronto. Send me your picture." 'Send her a picture?' Alaric's eyebrows arched in disbelief. "Wait, you want a picture of me?"

"Of course, I do! You're about to be my stepdad. I've got to know what you look like. And let me tell you, if you're not easy on the eyes, forget marrying my mom. She's a knockout, you know."

When Elisa finally saw Alaric's photo, she was indeed awestruck by his striking looks. Then, she turned to Caspian with a mix of surprise and curiosity and back at her own reflection.
