Chapter 402 Alaric, Why Are You Being so Unreasonable?


Alaric knew he couldn't dodge this bullet, so he just laid it out for Stellan. "He's got a hidden agenda with you, isn't that enough?"

"A hidden agenda?" Stellan looked totally lost. "What are you talking about? I don't get it."

Alaric sighed, "Basically, he's trying to get with you and wreck our marriage."

Stellan's eyes widened, and she almost laughed. "Alaric, are you serious? You think he likes me? I've barely known Tommy for a hot minute; how could he have any shady thoughts about me?"

"This isn't about how long you've known him," Alaric pressed on. "Honestly, I thought he was cool at first-seemed like a humble, ambitious newbie. But then he started acting all weird, and it threw me off. His moves towards you were so out of character from what I thought he was, it made me sure something's up."

"Moves towards me? What moves?" Stellan racked her brain but came up empty.

Alaric laid it out, "First time, you almost tripped, and he caught you. Second time, after you got hit, he put a cold compress on your face. Even after you left the company, he kept fussing over your bruises, and he did it right in front of me." Alaric paused, then added, "Or let me put it this way: when I'm not around, he does nothing. But when I'm there, he keeps doing stuff that might not be about wanting you but just trying to make me think he does, to mess with us." "Alaric, do you hear yourself?" Stellan was baffled. "Why would you think that? If he doesn't like me, why would he try to split us up? Isn't that just nuts?"
