Chapter 79 You Can't Call Me Stellan

Galatea was taken aback by the nickname. She stood frozen for a few seconds before finding an excuse to leave the room. "Stay here and rest up. I'll go get you a glass of water." Once she stepped out, Alaric shook his head again, trying to clear it.

"Mr. Knight." It was then that Mia gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Alaric jumped to his feet, greeting her politely, "Mia."

He had completely forgotten that Mia was there, and the thought of having passed out drunk was quite embarrassing.

"It's getting dark. Why don't you stay for dinner before leaving?" Mia offered warmly. "My cooking may not rival that of professional chefs, but after so many years, it's quite good. Mr. Knight, you could give it a try." "That's very kind of you, Mia. I'm sorry for any inconvenience," Alaric responded.

After he spoke, Mia smiled gently. This man indeed had manners.

Mia glanced at Galatea, who was still in the living room, then turned back to Alaric with a direct question. "Mr. Knight, are you planning on marrying our Stellan?"

That question...

How could Alaric respond? Could he admit he had already been rejected?

Seeing the troubled look on his face, Mia smiled again and said, "If you're really into her, you should genuinely pursue her, and I'm not just singing my family's praises-our Stellan really is a treasure. You'd be incredibly lucky to marry her. "Stellan is a natural beauty, smart since she was young, and has a heart of gold; there are plenty of people falling over themselves to chase her."

Alaric believed this to be true, and from Mia's reference, he gathered some information and asked, "I hear you calling her Stellan? Is that a pet name?"

Caught off guard by the question, Mia paused briefly. Galatea's birth name was Stellan Storm, and Mia had grown accustomed to calling her Stellan from childhood. Even after the name change, she continued to use it.

"Right," Mia replied, needing to keep up the facade since they hadn't had an open discussion about it, "Pet name."
