As soon as Alaric heard her tone, he knew Hertha was still holding a grudge against him.
His expression became somber, ready to explain what happened at Sapphire Skyline the other day, but just as he was about to speak, Kimberly emerged from the kitchen, halting his words mid-breath.
Kimberly, Hertha's mother, was still in the dark about the whole situation. If he brought it up now, Kimberly would surely jump to the same conclusion as Hertha, assuming he was out gallivanting with other women.
Explaining himself to Hertha was already a tall order; adding her mother to the equation would only complicate matters further.

"Enough dilly-dallying, you two. Come on over and eat," Kimberly called out to Alaric and Hertha.

As Kimberly accepted the bowl Alaric handed her, she said, "Sit down and join us. There's no need to stand on ceremony. I invited you for dinner because I want to clear the air between you and Hertha." Kimberly had always hoped Alaric and Hertha would marry, given that Alaric was the biological father of the children.
If Alaric and Hertha were to marry, it would mean the children could grow up with both their biological parents, which she believed would make them happier.
