Angelina was fuming, convinced that a few good smacks would have Alaric begging for mercy like he used to, calling her "Mom" in jest and pleading for her to stop, promising to accept any of her conditions in exchange for a little extra pocket money.

But this time, she miscalculated. She struck him repeatedly, putting all her strength behind each swing of the broomstick against Alaric's back. The sound alone could have made onlookers wince in sympathy. Yet, Alaric didn't utter a single plea for mercy. Not a word escaped him as he clenched his fists, enduring the pain in stoic silence.

Angelina was taken aback by his newfound resilience, even more infuriated by his silent defiance. Her strikes grew fiercer, the broom swishing through the air with increased vigor.

"Say something, will you?" Angelina demanded, her voice thick with anger as she glared at Alaric.

But Alaric remained stubbornly silent, a far cry from the carefree man who used to seek his mother's forgiveness at the slightest hardship.

"Oh my, what in the world are you doing? Are you trying to kill him?" Beatrice and Remington Falconer had just returned from a walk when they witnessed Angelina furiously beating Alaric with the broom. Beatrice, heart aching for Alaric, rushed forward, snatching the broom from Angelina's grasp, her voice laced with indignation. Angelina, catching her breath, tried to explain her actions to Beatrice with a calmer demeanor. "Three years ago, it was Alaric who got involved with Georgia, and that's when their engagement was officially announced. Now he's got it in his head to call off the engagement! The Reed family found out it was because Georgia threw a small tantrum in front of him, so they invited him over for dinner today to apologize personally. He stood them up! Madelook like a fool in front of the Reeds!" Beatrice and Remington were well aware of the tangled web of Alaric's romantic entanglements. They had once believed he was serious about Hertha, even considering shelling out a hefty sum to dissolve his engagement with Georgia so he could marry Hertha, hoping that marriage would make him settle down.

But it turned out Hertha was only in it for the thrill, severing ties with Alaric after a single night in exchange for a payout. Not long after, Alaric becinvolved with Georgia, making the dissolution of their engagement even more complicated.

FAVOURITE GAMES ON Now, three years had passed, and not only had Alaric refused to marry Georgia, but he was also adamant about breaking off the engagement. Beatrice felt for Alaric but agreed with Angelina's point. She stopped Angelina from hitting him again and turned to Alaric with a heavy heart.

"Alaric, you and Georgia seemed to be doing so well. What's the reason for calling off the engagement now? Matters of the heart aren't to be taken lightly. How can you simply switch between getting engaged and breaking it off?" Alaric, grimacing from both the physical pain and the weight of his decision, replied, "Grandma, it's precisely because matters of the heart are serious that I can't drag this out with Georgia any longer." "What's the matter?" Remington stepped forward, leaning on his cane, his expression grave.

Alaric glanced at Angelina, still seething, took a deep breath, and finally said, "Georgia has a temper. ey She's disrupted meetings at the office more than once, yelling atin front of shareholders. I can't take it anymore." Remington and Beatrice exchanged a look, both at a loss for words.

Angelina retorted, "That's only because you've been neglecting her, dragging your feet the marriage. She was just anxious. Besides, her ve mother already scolded her, and she's promised not to do it again. Can't you forgive her just this once?"

"Is this really about forgiving her just once?" Alaric replied, his tone firm Swallch The indNivel. Set website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. X
