"Am I being too dramatic? I am the mother of the groom, for heaven's sake! Seeing my own son getting pushed around, how can I not be upset?" Angelina's tone was as haughty as ever. Hertha was about to respond when Alaric stepped forward, shielding her with his body, and confronted Angelina, "Hertha and I are already legally married. The wedding ceremony is just a formality." He wanted to make it clear to Angelina that he and Hertha were husband and wife in the eyes of the law.

No matter how much she fussed, she couldn't change that fact.

Ethan staggered back from the force of her shove, still weak from his recent injuries, bracing for a fall.
