Chapter 389 Do You Still Not Trust Me?


Alaric kept staring into Stellan's eyes. She was lost in thought, then shook her head. "Nah, I got nothing to hide from you."

Stellan wasn't the type to lie, especially now. It was obvious she had something on her mind but didn't wanna spill.

Since she didn't wanna talk, he wouldn't push her. But he'd asked a bunch of times, and she still kept quiet, which bummed Alaric out a bit. "Alright, cool." Alaric gave a faint smile. "You haven't eaten yet. Want me to ask Mia to heat something up for you?"

"No thanks, I'm not hungry," Stellan said. "I'm just so tired, I wanna crash."

"Okay, then go to bed." Alaric scooped Stellan up and carried her to the bedroom, laying her on the bed. "Get some sleep."

"Aren't you gonna sleep?" Stellan asked quickly.

"I'll sleep after I finish some work." Alaric leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Don't overthink it, just sleep. Night."
