Chapter 441
Dressed in a deep navy-blue suit and matching trousers, Alaric was a sight to behold. His white shirt
and a blue plaid tie added to his extraordinary demeanor. His hypnotic eyes were enchantingly
mischievous, a stark contrast to Lysander’s rugged handsomeness.
Behind them, a group of people were busy carrying cameras and microphones. They were
unmistakably members of the press.
On seeing them, Hertha’s nerves, which had just begun to settle, stretched again. Her smile became
tense and awkward. “Mr. Sinclair, welcome. Please, come in,” she said, stepping aside to let them in.
Lysander, followed by Alaric, spread his long legs and stepped in. Alaric’s inscrutable eyes fixed on

His gaze sent a shiver down her spine, causing her heart to race. His enchanting allure, his
breathtaking beauty, and his ability to captivate her with a single look – it was all too much.
The reporters followed closely behind; their cameras trained on Lysander.
Once everyone was in, Hertha approached nervously; she noticed that Lysander was taking in the
room’s decor. He was staring at a giant panda plushie on the sofa that she had forgotten to put away.
“Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Falconer, please sit,” she said, hastily grabbing the plushie and holding it close.
As Alaric took a seat next to Lysander, he surveyed the room and remarked, “The house is not bad for
a single mom working and raising her four kids.” Hertha responded with a forced smile, “Yes, I’m glad
the kids are well-behaved so I don’t have to worry too much.”
Alaric, with a teasing smile, responded, “I can see that. They’re already earning their keep by winning a
huge amount of money in a single contest. That’s two years’ worth of income for an average family,
isn’t it?”
Hertha, feeling guilty, didn’t respond. Instead, she noticed Lysander’s gaze had moved to the clothes
hanging on the balcony..
Following his gaze, she saw several sets of children’s clothes, including adorable animal onesies. The
clothes swayed gently in the wind and looked incredibly cute. So Lysander was staring at those
onesies. He must relent just by watching the babies cute clothes, she thought.
“Those are my quadruplets’ clothes. They’re about the same size, so I buy and wash their clothes
together,” she explained.

However, Lysander’s gaze had moved on to a yellow dress hanging among the clothes. “Ms.
Kensington, do you also wear Chanel?” he asked.
“No, I like Chanel but it’s too expensive for me,” Hertha replied automatically. But then she realized her
mistake. Among the clothes was a yellow Chanel dress. That was Thalassa Everhart’s dress, a gift
from Lysander himself!
“Ms. Kensington, unless I’m mistaken, that yellow dress on the clothesline is a Chanel haute couture
piece. If you don’t wear Chanel, where did it come from?” asked one of the more experienced
reporters.
Hertha’s heart pounded in her chest as the reporter scooted over and handed her the microphone.
