Chapter 370 After All, He's a Stranger, I Don't Feel at Ease.


The meal was chill, and Tommy was always super polite.

After dinner, they took Tommy to Stellan's old crib. Walking in, Tommy looked around nervously, "This place is huge. I can't handle it. I'll crash here tonight and move to the staff dorm tomorrow." "It's cool, Uncle Tommy," Elisa jumped in, "It's just sitting here empty. Stay as long as you want."

"Yeah, don't sweat it. Make yourself at home," Stellan added, "If you need anything, just holler." Tommy nodded, "Thanks a ton."

"No need for all that," Alaric said, "It's late, and you gotta shake off that jet lag. Get some rest." "Alright, Mr. and Mrs. Knight, take care." He waved at the kids. "Caspian, Harry, Elisa, see ya." The three of them chimed in together, "Bye, Uncle Tommy."

Once they were in the car, Alaric turned to Stellan, "So, what do you think of Tommy?"

Stellan replied, "Super humble and polite."

Elisa piped up, "And really handsome, that's the kicker!"

"Elisa, I didn't know you were so shallow. His looks have nothing to do with you," Harry teased. "So, you all like him?" Alaric asked.

"Yep," Caspian, Harry, and Elisa said in unison.

Seeing they all liked Tommy, Alaric just smiled and let it go.

It was late, and once they got home, the kids hit the showers and went to bed.

After her shower, Stellan, feeling lazy like a cat, was scooped up and carried to bed by Alaric.

Snuggled up in bed, Stellan said, "Tommy's got a solid education. I hope he can really push Nexus Innovations forward. When you get back, he can be your right-hand man, and you can chill a bit." "Fingers crossed. What role are you thinking for him?" Alaric asked.
