Chapter 416 If He Were a Bad Person, She Would Have to Question Everything


Stellan was totally bored out of her mind staying home today. She thought about hitting up Rowena for a shopping spree, but Rowena was busy with Cormac and Aurora at some school thing, so Stellan was stuck at home all day. With nothing better to do, Stellan decided to get her chef on. She wanted to whip up something fancy for Alaric and the kids.

Meanwhile, Alaric was swamped at work. He knew he might feel like crap after his treatment, so he was trying to get ahead on his workload to make things easier for Stellan.

Silas popped in, "Mr. Knight, I just checked on the jewelry company reopening. They said they'll let us know first thing tomorrow."

"Alright," Alaric muttered, crossing his fingers for some good news.

After wrapping up his work, Alaric headed out to pick up the kids.

"Daddy, are you all better now? Can you pick us up every day?" Elisa asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah, Dad, how's your health?" Caspian chimed in, looking worried.

Alaric smiled, "I'm doing a lot better, but I still need a few more months of treatment. Once that's done, I'll be good as new." "Really? No more meds or treatments?" Caspian asked, hopeful.

"Yep," Alaric nodded.

"Awesome! Once you're all better, we can relax," Harry said, grinning.

Back at the villa, Stellan ran out to greet them, beaming. "You're back! Dinner's ready, just waiting for you guys." "Mommy's in a good mood today," Elisa teased.
