Chapter 349
“Hmph, Alaric, and that woman, I’ll get you!”
Georgia huffed, her chest heaving with anger.
“Alright, you’ve had your fun. Time to let go of my hand,” Alaric said, trying to pull his hand from
Hertha’s grip after they had walked some distance together.
Hertha stopped abruptly, looking up at him. “Did I take advantage of you? Wasn’t it just holding hands?
You kissed me just now. How does that count?”
Alaric retrieved his hand and shoved it in his pocket, a smirk playing on his lips. “Didn’t you enjoy it just
now?”
Hertha blushed at his comment. Indeed, his kiss had made her feel all soft and fuzzy, like a ball of
cotton candy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWho could blame her, when he looked so devilishly attractive? She had been smitten with him from the
moment she saw him, her heart filled with him. When he kissed her, her body instinctively responded.
Hertha fell silent for a moment, her eyes slightly evasive. Then, with an air of defiance, she said, “My
enjoyment and your forced kiss aren’t related. Moreover, didn’t you just call me your girlfriend? Does
that still count?”
Hertha asked, her face filled with hope and apprehension.
She had always dreamed of being his girlfriend.
If such a golden opportunity came falling from the sky and she didn’t grab it, she would be a fool.
Seeing Hertha’s earnestness, Alaric became serious. “Didn’t you realize that? I said that to irritate
Georgia and make her give up.”
Georgia was the heiress of the Reed Group. His family had been trying to push her onto him, hoping he
would marry her for a strategic alliance.
Although Alaric was a playboy who loved women, Georgia’s temper and tendency to turn violent when
upset was something he didn’t appreciate.
And he abhorred’arranged marriages.
Since when did his marital future become a tool for family benefits?
He wasn’t just a pawn!
But Georgia was so infatuated with him that she kept pestering him, often coming to his house
uninvited.
Tired of her constant pestering, he had sought refuge in a hotel, but Georgia had even followed him
there.
As he was about to leave, he saw Hertha in the elevator.
Desperate to shake off Georgia, he impulsively pulled Hertha towards him and enacted a passionate
kiss.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHertha had even played along, further provoking Georgia by suggesting they got a hotel room.
Her brazen yet confident words had left him quite satisfied, hoping that Georgia would leave him alone
in the future.
Hertha’s hopeful and anxious expression faded into disappointment, leaving her feeling utterly
dejected.
Although she had guessed his motives, hearing it from him still hurt.
She pouted slightly, saying in a small voice, “Can’t you consider me as your girlfriend for real? Do you
think I’m too fat?”
Alaric’s lips curled into a smirk, his demeanor charming and nonchalant. “I’m not particularly interested
in a mother of quadruplets.”
“What? You’re rejecting me because of the quadruplets? Actually.” Hertha was shocked to finally
understand the reason behind Alaric’s cold attitude towards her. In her excitement, she almost blurted
out the truth about the quadruplets.
