The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Seeing Alaric's stern expression, Kimberly thought she had touched upon a topic he couldn't stomach, and that he was about to lose his temper.

She quickly said, "It wasn't right for Hertha to hide from you that she was a mom before you two got together, but she had her reasons. It was all because she felt too deeply..."

"Don't worry, I know what kind of person Hertha is," Alaric reassured Kimberly.

When Kimberly first mentioned that Hertha had a child, Alaric was indeed taken aback. But now, hearing Kimberly explain that Hertha had hidden the fact that she was a mother, Alaric's mind raced to the time Hertha had treated Thalassa's child as her own and even declared to Lysander that the child was hers.

She had hidden the truth not just from Lysander, but from him as well.

Alaric had originally thought Hertha was a widow, which made him keep his distance. It was only later that he found out the child wasn't actually Hertha's.

Kimberly must be talking about this.

This misunderstanding had been cleared up long ago, and Alaric was already well aware of the whole story.

Hearing Alaric say he understood what kind of person Hertha was, Kimberly nodded in relief, taking his words as a sign there might still be a chance for reconciliation.
