Chapter 2007

Under the sharp gaze of her mother, Hertha wilted, immediately retracting the fierce look in her eyes and offering her mother an awkward smile, without shrugging off Alaric's hand resting on her shoulder. "Hertha and I have cleared up the misunderstandings that have long stood between us, and we've decided to be together. Please give us your blessing." Seeing Hertha hadn't pushed him away, Alaric grew bolder, feeling confident enough to lay it all out to Hertha's parents.

Hertha not pushing his hand off her shoulder in front of her mother was an indication; she was giving him a chance.

A chance to show his true feelings in front of her mother. If Kimberly accepted him, he could truly be with Hertha.

This was an opportunity too good to miss. And he'd be a fool to let it slip through his fingers.

So, despite the nerves clawing at his insides, he steeled himself and laid it all out.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Hertha pushed his hand away, countering, "Who says I want to be with you? Don't get ahead of yourself."

Kimberly hadn't even had the chance to react before she heard her daughter's dismissive words, causing her brows to knit together instantly.

Panic seized Alaric, and in his desperation, his eyes locked onto the ring on Hertha's finger, "You accepted my proposal. Are you going back on your word now?"

"What kind of fool would accept your proposal?" Hertha retorted, her pride not allowing her to admit anything, despite the awkwardness of being caught kissing Alaric by her mother.
