Chapter 378 Have You Ever Truly Believe in Me?


Hearing Alaric's question, Stellan felt a cold sweat break out. She had no evidence in her hands, which was the most fatal part. Stellan nodded. "Yeah, I got nothing."

"If you got no proof, then why do you think she's behind the kidnapping?" Alaric pressed.

Stellan explained, "At first, it was just a hunch. When I was stuck in that cabin, I asked Todd, and his reaction kinda gave it away. I tried to find proof, but I never did, so I..." Alaric cut her off, "So you've been keeping this from me while you were hunting for evidence?"

"Not really, the company's been crazy busy. I haven't had time to deal with Marigold's stuff for days. If she hadn't taken the kids this time, I wouldn't have gone to her." "Then why didn't you tell me about this huge thing before?" Alaric asked.

Stellan replied, "Because I had no proof. She's your mom, after all. What good would it do to tell you? Would you believe me without evidence?"

"How do you know I wouldn't if you didn't tell me?" Alaric shot back, clearly pissed.

Stellan was momentarily speechless. She had indeed spoken without thinking. She didn't mean it that way; she didn't want to make things difficult for Alaric.

But what she said was different from what she was thinking. "You've been telling me that we're a team and you don't want me to hide anything from you. I even told you about my digging into the Storm family's past. But what about you? Have you ever treated me like your husband? Have you ever truly believed in me? No matter what went down between you and her, when did I not have your back? I made it clear to you that I've cut ties with her. I just want to live a chill life with our family of five, but why did it come to this?"
