The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 350

“What is it?” Seeing her pause, Alaric asked, breaking the silence that was beginning to stretch uncomfortably.

Hertha’s round eyes, bright as a pair of marbles, rolled around twice, her words catching in her throat. She had been ready to admit the truth about the quadruplets, but the words died on her lips.
