The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Alaric and Hertha had just shared a moment, their bodies brushing against each other in a way that was too intimate to ignore. Spencer was right outside. He must have seen everything. Even though Hertha was married to Spencer, and Alaric wasn't happy about it, the last thing he wanted was to ruin their relationship.

He didn't want Spencer to get the wrong idea, become jealous, or angry. After all, if Spencer got upset, Hertha would surely feel it too. And Alaric couldn't stand the thought of Hertha being unhappy. Spencer looked away from them, reaching for a piece of meat, and said, "It's fine. Thanks for catching her, or she would've ended up with another concussion."

Watching Spencer's reaction, Alaric frowned, almost imperceptibly.

Why did it seem like Spencer didn't really care about Hertha?

His words thanked Alaric for saving Hertha, but his actions suggested he was unfazed by their close contact or the risk of her getting hurt!

It was like the time Hertha had been in a car accident and ended up in the hospital overnight. Spencer, her husband, had only found out she was missing when he rushed to the hospital the next day! Even Alaric, practically a stranger in comparison, had known about Hertha's hospitalization before Spencer did.
