    The girl''s exmation was both surprised and loud, drawing the attention of ric and Hertha, as well as curious nces from everyone around them.


    As ric and Hertha turned, they saw Georgia, clutching a toddler about two years old, ring angrily at ric.


    ric barely nced at the boy before confronting Georgia with an expressionless face, "Who I marry is none of your business!"


    "What did you just say, ric? Say that again!" Georgia stormed forward, clutching the little boy even tighter.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Georgia was about to invade ric''s personal space when Hertha couldn''t stand by any longer. ric was her man now, and she had decided to leave the past behind and embrace their future together. She wasn''t going to let any woman get close to him!


    Quickly stepping forward, Hertha shielded ric, crossed her arms, and stood her ground against Georgia. "We''re both free to marry, thew allows it, and so does morality. I won''t let anyone mess this up!"


    "Move aside, I''ll deal with youter!" Georgia shoved Hertha aside, taking two steps towards ric and thrusting the child in front of him, her voiceced with frustration and anger, "ric, look at him, he has your eyes!"


    Over the years, ric had grown tired of Georgia''s clinginess and her diva attitude.


    With a dismissive, even scornful tone, he said, "Move, you''re not stopping me and Hertha from getting married."


    He walked past Georgia, taking Hertha by the shoulder, and led her back to the registration desk.


    The clerk handed them each a form to fill out. ric eagerly began to fill his, and Hertha, without hesitation, started writing her information with a ck ink pen.


    Georgia, feeling ignored, watched as ric, holding his paperwork firmly, was determined to marry Hertha. Unable to hold back any longer, she hugged the child closer and tearfully dered, "His name is r, he was just added to the family registry. He''s your son, ric!"


    Georgia''s voice echoed loudly, drawing curious and entertained nces from everyone around.


    Hertha felt as if she was being


    pricked by thorns, her hand holding the pen froze in shock as she looked up at Georgia, her breathing erratic and eyes welling up with tears as she stared at ric.


    Her heart sank as she turned back to ric, who was equally shocked disbelievingly staring at Georgia.for a moment before biting back angrily, "Georgia, what madness is this now!"


    "I''m not mad, what I''m saying is true. Do you remember that night at the hotel three years ago?" Georgia, tears in her eyes, somehow calmed down, speaking seriously to ric.


    That night at the hotel three years ago!


    Those words pierced Hertha''s heart, causing her immense pain and disappointment.


    Hertha clenched the pen, her body going cold as she stared at Georgia.


    Georgia, holding a toddler and teary-eyed, looked like a woman scorned.


    And there she was, about to marry the father of that child. To outsiders, she must look like the other woman, an interloper!


    Hertha''s heart, just beginning to ept her marriage to ric, was shattered once again. She felt like a fool, aughingstock standing there.


    ric was petrified, staring at Georgia. Her serious and earnest demeanor made it hard for him to disbelieve, shaking his conviction.


    Because that night, three years ago, was a hurdle they could never ovee.
