The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1969

She never told Alaric her birthday, did she? And Alaric never celebrated it with her either.

So, how on earth did he know her birthday?

Wait, that's not even the main issue. The real question is, why would he use her birthday as his phone's passcode?

This guy must be nuts!

Hertha was flabbergasted as she scrolled through the call log, her eyes nearly popping out when she saw the top entry—a junkyard!

No way!

The number Alaric had called was for a junkyard!

Was he planning to sell her car as scrap?

"What’s with the bug eyes? You’d think you stumbled upon some earth-shattering news," Alaric quipped as he leaned in closer, just as Hertha was reeling from her discovery.

Snapping back to reality, Hertha lifted her phone to chuck it at him, each word seething through clenched teeth, "Alaric, are you freaking out of your mind?!"

Quick as a flash, Alaric caught the incoming phone, thankful it smashed into his palm and not his face. Had he not anticipated her throw, he'd be nursing a facial injury by now.

Alaric couldn't help but chuckle, "Could you maybe aim somewhere other than the face next time? I mean, come on, this handsome mug of mine isn’t easily replaceable."

"It’s exactly your face I was aiming for! Alaric, don’t think just because you’re good-looking, you can do whatever you please! Not only do you bail after hooking up, now you’re trying to sell my car! What does my car have to do with you, huh?"

Hertha was fuming, her chest heaving with anger as she confronted him.

"I never said I wouldn’t take responsibility. But you’re the one pushing me away," Alaric retorted with an innocent shrug.
