Chapter 2011

Hertha knew if she kept up her stubbornness, her mom was really going to lose it this time. With her head hanging low, she nodded in agreement.

Seeing her daughter finally facing her true feelings, Kimberly couldn't help but smile. "Exactly! Why stress over it? Some people, some things, you lose them if you overthink it." "Alaric isn't going anywhere after today," Hertha muttered under her breath. How could anything be lost?

"You cheeky girl, still talking back to me?" Kimberly's scolding now came with a hint of affection, the kind only a mother has for her daughter.

Hertha quickly pursed her lips, choosing to remain silent.

Kimberly pulled out a significant document from the drawer and handed it to Hertha. "Go on then, he must be getting anxious waiting outside." Alaric, who had been eagerly watching the door the whole time, sprang to his feet the moment it opened.

Noticing the document in Hertha's hand, a smile spread across his face uncontrollably.

Hertha holding that document meant she had, from the bottom of her heart, agreed to marry him.

At this moment, Alaric was beaming like a kid in a candy store.

Kimberly, observing Alaric's reaction, knew he was genuinely thrilled about marrying Hertha.
