Chapter 272 Todd, This Is Not a Place for You to Act Out!


Stellan held Alaric in her arms, cradling him like a child.

At that moment, she truly saw Alaric as a child-a very sad and self-blaming big child.

"You two grew up together after all. It's impossible for you to never contact each other. Give Cormac some time, and go talk to him after a while," Stellan suggested. "Okay." It was Alaric's fault, and he really didn't want to lose Cormac as a friend; he definitely wouldn't give up easily.

"Don't go to work tomorrow. Just rest at home. I'll stay with you and make sure you're okay before you get busy with other things," Stellan said.

"Alright." Alaric nodded.

"It's getting late. Go to sleep," Stellan said.

"Okay," Alaric said, then got out of Stellan's embrace and hugged her instead. He then reached up and turned off the bedside lamp.

Since they had planned to stay home the next day, Stellan turned off both of their phone alarms, allowing them to wake up naturally and let Alaric get some good rest.

The next morning, Todd and Ambrose arrived at Nexus Innovations. Todd wanted to take it easy for a few days, but Stuart was pushing hard.

Linda replied, "I'm really sorry, but we don't dare to ask about Mr. Knight's whereabouts. If you want to see him, you must make an appointment. Otherwise..."

"This is my third time!" Todd said impatiently.
