Chapter 415 Asking for Leave with Such an Arrogant Attitude?


Not too far from their ride, a black SUV was just chillin'. The streetlights were barely doing their job, and Alaric couldn't make out the folks inside, but he could totally feel their eyes on him. 'Has that car always been there? Are they waiting for us? What the heck are they up to?' Alaric didn't waste any time and fired up the engine. The black SUV stayed put, not budging an inch. This whole vibe was creepy, like they were out in the open while the other guys were lurking in the shadows, making him feel like they were being watched 24/7.

He could handle it himself, but he was super worried about Stellan and the kids.

"Something up, Alaric?" Stellan asked, noticing Alaric was lost in thought.

Alaric shook his head. "Nah, just thinking about the movie plot. It was really good."

Stellan was like, 'Seriously?'

"Getting all emotional over a movie is fine, but letting it mess with my mood? Not worth it," Alaric said. "Let's go grab Caspian, Harry, and Elisa. You'll feel better once we have them." Stellan nodded. "Okay."

So, Alaric and Stellan went to pick up the kids, who were having such a blast with Aurora that they didn't wanna leave.

"It's getting late. Cormac, Rowena, and Aurora need to hit the hay. We can't keep them up," Stellan said.

"Alright then." Hearing this, Caspian, Harry, and Elisa said their goodbyes to Cormac and followed Alaric and Stellan to the car.

"Daddy, Mommy, what movie did you watch? Was it good?" Elisa asked.

Alaric grinned, "It was awesome. It moved your mommy to tears. She was still crying before we picked you up."
