Chapter 081 Her Birthday Under the Gentle Moonlight

"Come out?"

Galatea was momentarily taken aback, then she opened the door and stepped out to find emptiness. Before she could ask anything, Alaric's voice came from the phone again, "Go to the rooftop."

"The rooftop?" she inquired, puzzled. "It's dark already, why should I go to the rooftop... Hello?"

Before Galatea could finish her sentence, Alaric had already hung up, which was nearly enough to send her over the edge with frustration.

At his strong suggestion, she obediently headed to the rooftop, only to find it deserted. Realizing she had been played for a fool, Galatea seethed with anger. She was just about to call Alaric to give him a piece of her mind when a noise above her head startled her.

Looking up, she saw a helicopter slowly descending toward the rooftop. To her utter shock, Alaric himself was piloting it.

The helicopter touched down with ease, and Alaric, sitting in the cockpit, called out to Galatea, "Hop in."

Galatea was stunned. After a moment, she looked down at herself, dressed in pajamas with slippers on her feet and her hair all in disarray.

Noticing this, Alaric laughed it off and casually reassured her, "It's okay, come on."

Without further hesitation, Galatea climbed aboard the helicopter. As she settled in, the door closed behind her, and the aircraft began to ascend again.

"What in the world got into you? Since when do you fly helicopters out of the blue?" Galatea expressed her astonishment.

"I used to fly all the time back in my military days," Alaric explained, adding a warning, "Buckle up!"

Galatea quickly made sure she was secure. Once Alaric sped up, the thrill of overlooking the entire city from above was exhilarating.

Seeing Galatea's excitement, Alaric was rather surprised. "Got some nerve, don't you? Not afraid of heights?"

Galatea just shook her head. She had never feared heights, and ever since she was young, she loved thrill-seeking adventures. The Storm family also had access to a helicopter, which she had always loved to ride. It felt like decades had passed since those days.
