Chapter 083 Daddy, you have to doggedly chase!

The wind picked up, chilling Galatea's body.

Galatea tightened her jacket around her, feeling more disordered than before.

She looked back at Alaric, who had gone inside the cabin, and she didn't know whether to follow him or to leave. What had started as a heartwarming birthday celebration had now turned into a confrontation with a completely different atmosphere.

At sea, with only each other for company, Galatea had no choice but to steel herself and return to the cabin to face Alaric.

"About earlier, if something I said upset you, I-" she began.

"You didn't say anything wrong," Alaric cut her off. "I was the one who wanted to get the marriage license from the start. It was all wishful thinking on my part.

"If you want to refuse, I respect that. From now on, you're just my fiancée in name. All I ask is that you play the part in public. Other than that, I won't force anything. Is that acceptable, Dr. Galatea?"

Galatea felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. Could he really be devoid of emotion when saying this?

He had mentioned needing a wife earlier that evening, yet she hadn't refused. She had merely tried to clarify her stance upfront, and that had set him off.

"It's getting late. I have an early meeting tomorrow. I'm going to bed," Alaric announced, curtly ending the conversation before Galatea could say more. "Alright, goodnight," was all Galatea managed to say softly.

Galatea wasn't sure if Alaric had actually fallen asleep. However, seeing him close his eyes and not making any effort to continue the conversation, she took the hint and quietly left the bedroom, making her way back to the deck. As she looked up at the night sky, the ocean's nocturnal beauty was breathtaking. All she could hear was the comforting sound of the waves.
