The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Alaric was in the middle of getting an earful from Hertha when, to her surprise, he began swaying back and forth with Helena on his back, declaring, "Startup successful! Daddy's daddy is called grandpa, daddy's mommy is grandma, and mommy's mommy is called granny..."

As Alaric rocked back and forth, mimicking a rocking horse, he hummed along with the tune of the nursery rhyme.

Helena clung to his shirt, her giggles ringing out lively and sweet, full of life.

Julian, after waiting on the sidelines for a bit, realized it wasn't his turn yet. His face flushed with impatience, he toddled over to Hertha, exclaiming, "Mommy, mommy, daddy is a living rocking horse, it's so much fun. I want a turn..."

His excitement made his cheeks as red as apples, pulling on Hertha's pant leg, he shook her gently as he spoke.

Hertha, led by Julian, approached Alaric. Julian pointed at Alaric, saying, "Look, mommy, daddy is really a living rocking horse!"

Hertha forced a smile, gently caressing Julian's cheek, but her gaze turned stern as she looked back at Alaric.
