Chapter 28 I Will Protect My Mom!


A self-mocking smile drew across Alaric's face at Elisa's words. Without another word to her, he reached for his phone with the intent to call Galatea, but Elisa promptly snatched it out of his hand.

"What do you think you're doing?" he questioned.

"I'm obviously calling your mom to come get you," he responded matter-of-factly.

Elisa scoffed at him. "Mom's not in Arizona today. You're not going to reach her. Besides, I'm here to deal with something between the two of us, do not involve her."

Alaric raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her determination, and slid the phone back into his pocket.

"Alright, let's chat. What do you want to talk about?" Alaric asked, settling into the sofa and looking at her.

"I just came to ask if you truly love my mom and when you're planning to marry her."

A silence fell over Alaric.

"You're in a hurry to get your mom hitched?" Alaric asked.

"It's not like that. I must consider who's asking. My mom's got a lot of admirers. She can't just marry any guy. At the very least, I need to vet them for her," Elisa said.

Her tone was surprisingly mature, and Alaric couldn't help but chuckle as he teased, "Oh? So, there's quite a lineup for your mom?"
