Chapter 66 He Kissed Her as Punishment


After Galatea had effectively kicked him out, Alaric's face turned an ugly shade of cold. Galatea knew she had upset him again.

"Ungrateful woman, I came all the way here to give you a cell phone, and you didn't even thank me. Now you're trying to kick me out?"

He had kicked her out of his car, causing her to come back in such a ragged state, and she was supposed to thank him.

"Since you've returned the phone, there's nothing else, is there?" Galatea retorted. "Besides, you despise my humble place so much. Why should I want you to stay?" Alaric fell silent.

Deciding not to leave, Alaric simply sat down on the sofa, making his intention clear.

Galatea froze. What was this man trying to do? Stay for dinner?

"Your son is coming back later, right?" Alaric probed, somewhat looking for an excuse. "I haven't met your son yet."

"He has an after-school program. They won't be back until late."

"No problem, I can wait."

Galatea remained silent.

At that moment, her computer pinged with a notification. Galatea glanced towards her home office, then back at Alaric who clearly wasn't going anywhere soon.

"Well, you can wait then. There's hot water in the teapot on the coffee table if you get thirsty." With that, Galatea turned and went into her office.

She had several messages from patients seeking advice on medical issues, and she began to answer each one based on the symptoms they described.
