Chapter 248 You Want Me


Stellan kissed Alaric for a long time before pulling away. They were at a building entrance with lots of people around.

Stellan was usually rational and shy, never showing affection in public.

"What's wrong with you?" Alaric sensed something was off.

Stellan just shook her head.

"Are you upset because we didn't find any clues?" Alaric asked, staring at Stellan.

"No," Stellan said, looking up at Alaric. "When I'm down, your words mean a lot. I just feel so in love with you and lucky to be married to you."

Alaric laughed, tapping her head. "Why so sentimental suddenly?"

Stellan pouted, staying silent. Alaric shook his head with a smile. "Your mood swings are like a three-year-old's; you scared me."

Stellan finally smiled.

"Don't worry. I'll help you figure it out," Alaric said, leading Stellan to the car.

"Alaric, I'm serious," Stellan urged. "The Storm family case is old and tough. Your entertainment center opens next month, and you're swamped. Let's put the case on hold until after the opening, okay?" Stellan avoided mentioning Ambrose; she wouldn't be blackmailed, yet didn't want Alaric to face him. It wasn't doubting Alaric, whose health remained fragile, yet Ambrose was relentless. "Are you really upset?" Alaric asked again.
