Hertha's eyes flickered with irritation at the mention of Georgia. Hearing that name, she couldn't help but feel angry.

Who would be so cruel as to hire a child from an orphanage, pretending he was Alaric's son, just to blackmail Alaric into marrying her? How deep were Georgia's feelings for Alaric that she would resort to such desperate measures to bechis wife? And what about Alaric? Was he truly oblivious to the fact that the boy wasn't his son, or was he just playing dumb in front of her? Hertha's mind was a whirlwind of confusion. She couldn't see through Georgia's actions or even begin to guess at Alaric's thoughts. But she was naturally lazy when it cto overthinking. If she couldn't figure out what Alaric was thinking, she wouldn't bother trying. "Alright, I've got it. You go get srest. We should all head to bed," Hertha said, avoiding Alaric's gaze and moving towards the children.

Daughters always had a way with their fathers. Helena, who had been hesitant to let Alaric go, nodded obediently, "Okay, Daddy, we have a deal. You have to ctomorrow." Looking into her innocent, tender eyes filled with love for him, Alaric felt his heart soften like never before. He smiled warmly, gently pinching Helena's chubby cheek, "I promise, darling." Helena extended her pinky finger towards him.

Alaric, puzzled, looked at her.

She took his large hand in hers, linking their pinkies together, and et then pressed their thumbs together, sealing the promise, "Pinky swear, a hundred years, no backsies." Alaric couldn't help but laugh at her childlike sincerity.

He ruffled Helena's hair once more, gave Julian a gentle pat on the head, then stood up, said his goodbyes to Hertha and Kimberly, and left.

Hertha, about to lead the kids to their inno, noticed the way their innocent, youthful eyes followed Alario's departing figure, filled with longing.
