Chapter 432 Heartache


Stellan was peeking at Alaric, who was standing with his back to her, right in front of the big window, with the moonlight pouring in and casting a long shadow. From where she was, Alaric looked so tall, but also so lonely.

Since he started his treatment, he almost quit smoking. If he was up in the middle of the night for a smoke, he must be really bothered. Was it that dream again, keeping him awake?

Stellan kept her eyes on him, then glanced at the clock. It was already 3 AM. Was he planning to stand there all night, smoking until the sun came up?

Seeing him like this made her heart ache even more.

'Alaric, do you really trust me? Have you never let go Marigold's death?' Stellan wondered silently. It was a question they both always dodged. Bringing it up would hit the core of their relationship. They both avoided it, but they knew it was an issue that couldn't be ignored.

Just as Stellan expected, Alaric stood by the window smoking all night. As dawn approached, he carefully cleaned up all the cigarette butts.

And she played along, ignoring the strong smell of smoke.

"Awake?" Alaric asked.

"Why are you up so early today?" Stellan wouldn't mention that he hadn't slept all night.

"I've slept enough these days," Alaric said. "Since I haven't had my treatment shot yet and can still move, I'll make you breakfast. What do you want to eat?" Stellan quickly grabbed him. Seeing him like this really made her heart ache. He always kept things bottled up inside.
