Chapter 274 Competition

After going upstairs, Stellan was constantly on edge, listening to the sounds from downstairs. She heard Alaric and Todd seemingly about to argue; the tension was palpable, and her heart instantly tightened with worry. "Alright, Alaric, you've got guts!"

We can't afford to wait when it comes to your health." "I understand all that. Don't worry, I'll have someone contact Noah Jewelry tomorrow to push them to make a decision quickly," Alaric assured her.

Alaric pulled Stellan close and said, "Don't worry. Once we acquire Noah Jewelry, I'll immediately stop working to get treatment. Nothing will change that decision."

Stellan didn't know whether to believe Alaric's words. Seeing her still worried, Alaric tried to comfort her.

He said, "Alright, it's rare for us to be home relaxing. Let's not think about these unpleasant things and just enjoy our time together today." Alaric pinched her cheek, trying to make her smile.
