Chapter 230 The Wedding Night


"Are you asking what I'd do if I got kicked out of the Knight family, lost my job at Nexus Innovations, and had nothing left?"

Seeing Stellan's concern, Alaric asked directly. She nodded.

Alaric sighed, frustrated. "Do you really think I'm that useless?"

Stellan was taken aback. "No, I just..."

"I

get it," Alaric cut in, smiling. "I joined the military at eight, with no family to help me. I climbed the ranks on my own, setting records with every promotion. I retired due to severe injuries."

"Back with the Knight family, I switched from politics to business, starting from scratch and building Nexus Innovations. If I lost it all, I wouldn't be scared to start over. What I fear is losing the drive and support to do it." Alaric's gaze softened as he looked at Stellan. "Galatea, do you get what I mean?"

Stellan felt relieved. She smiled and nodded. "I understand."

"A man in uniform has a different vibe, especially someone as handsome as Alaric," she thought.

"I look good even without the uniform," Alaric said, grinning.
