Chapter 42 The Anticipation Begins

"You have the right to remain silent," he said, a smirk on his lips as he never spared a thought for others' feelings, always eager to pick at their wounds.

"What's the big deal?" Alaric shrugged off the tense atmosphere. "They say time heals all wounds. It's been years since he left you. Can't we talk about it, by now?" "Fine, let's talk." Galatea answered honestly, her voice low. "I studied it just for him. Happy?"

Ambrose Vale had been under immense work pressure back in the day, barely sleeping a few hours a week. She had been genuinely worried he would drop dead from exhaustion, leading her to seek out numerous mentors and research extensively.

"Did you love him that much?" Alaric probed further.

It wasn't a question Galatea could answer lightly. Love, for her, was intertwined with pain.

"Mr. Knight, are you very interested in gossip?" Galatea leaned against the table, eyeing him as he got dressed. "So, interested in other people's affairs? What about you? How many have you dated? Loved? Why don't you start?" "None," Alaric stated flatly.

"None?" Galatea laughed in disbelief. "How is it possible that you've never dated?"

'A guy nearing thirty and never dated?'

'Especially as the CEO of his company, with women all around him.'

"I said none, you may believe it or not," Alaric replied.

"And you call me the hypocrite," Galatea muttered under her breath, "Where did your son come from if you've never dated?"
