The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1767

He still thought that night three years ago was just something between him and Georgia. He never imagined it would result in a child!

"Georgia, do you realize what you're saying?" Alaric warned sharply.

If Georgia was using this as a tactic to sabotage his and Hertha's wedding, he wouldn't let her get away with it!

"Let's talk it over. Bring Hertha with you, and let's head to the café next door," Georgia said calmly, holding the child as she walked out of the city hall.

Alaric looked at Hertha with a mix of regret and guilt, attempting to hold her hand. "Hertha..."

"Don't touch me!" Hertha snapped, pulling away and walking ahead.

She wasn’t the type to run from a problem. If Georgia was ready to lay things out, she was ready to understand them in detail. This way, she could make an informed decision about where to go from here.

Alaric’s attempt to hold Hertha’s hand was futile, leaving him feeling hollow and pained inside. Watching Hertha follow Georgia, he picked up the family register from his work desk and followed them.

Indeed, Georgia went abroad for a year after their engagement, supposedly to learn business with her father. But given Georgia’s arrogant and domineering personality, if she had been pregnant with his child, wouldn’t she have used that to force him into marriage immediately? How could she possibly go abroad to secretly have the child and then return alone?

“You still don’t believe me, do you? What I’m saying is true!” Georgia said, distressed. “I know using the child to force you into marriage would have been more straightforward, but I didn’t want to do that. I wanted you to marry me because you truly wanted to, because you really loved me, not because of obligation. That’s why I kept the child a secret.”

Georgia explained why she hadn’t disclosed the existence of their child.
