The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Alaric was gearing up for a comeback to Hertha's remark when the door to the children's room swung open, and two little bundles of joy, toddling on their tiny legs, came rushing out, closely followed by Ashton. "Daddy, Mommy, you're back!"

"Daddy, Mommy, we missed you so much!"

Julian and Helena, like little penguins, wobbled their way towards Alaric and Hertha, their adorable voices melting hearts along the way.

Alaric's previously sullen face instantly lit up with joy. He hurried over, bending down to scoop Julian and Helena into his arms, gently pressing his cheek against Helena's soft little cheek, and then doing the same to Julian.

The tender touch of their innocence was enough to melt Alaric's heart.

"Daddy's back, and so is Mommy. We're getting married, so you'll always have us to love and care for you. Aren't you excited?" Alaric couldn't wait to share the good news with Julian and Helena.

Julian nodded vigorously, beaming: "Yeah, so happy! Daddy and Mommy are getting married!"

His joy was so palpable it seemed like he could almost fly.

"Daddy, if you and Mommy are getting married, does that mean you'll sleep together? Where will we sleep then?" Helena tilted her head, her big, curious eyes fixed on Alaric, posing a question that went straight to the soul.
