The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Ethan was just on his way to fetch some water when he opened the front door.

"Whoa, Ethan, what are you doing here?" Angelina, standing at the door with a little boy in her arms and Georgia trailing behind her, sounded genuinely surprised.

Ethan, taken aback, glanced over at her. "What brings you here?" he managed a strained smile, exchanging pleasantries.

Before he could step aside, Angelina, holding the child, walked in. "We came to check on Alaric. What happened to your eye? Did you get into a fight?"

As Angelina entered, she made a show of concern for Ethan.

Ethan had no choice but to move aside, making room for them. Georgia, following behind Angelina, had a smirk plastered on her face, eyeing Ethan like he was the latest gossip. "Mr. Ethan, that bruised look suits you quite well."

Ethan wanted to laugh; he finally understood the ordeal Alaric had been through these past three years, probably being overshadowed by Georgia at every turn, unable to stand tall.

No wonder Alaric was so against marrying Georgia.

However, Angelina seemed to eat up Georgia's words, saying, "Exactly Georgia is the perfect match for our Alaric Speaking of which, where is Alaric? We've been here for awhile and haven't seen him."

Saying so, Angelina, still holding the child, looked around for Alaric.

Her gaze landed on Alaric's room, noticing the light was on. She headed there with the child, calling

"Alaric, are you still sleeping?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Georgia hurried after her.

Knowing he couldn't stop them, Ethan didn't interfere and headed to the kitchen to get Alaric some water.

He didn't want Alaric dying of thirst, after all.

Suddenly, a scream echoed from the room, followed by an indignant accusation, "What have you done to my son, you woman?"
