Chapter 443 Hope Their Marriage Won't Change

Stellan didn't want to cry. She felt like she didn't deserve to. After all, wasn't she the one who caused Marigold's death? No wonder Alaric couldn't stand to look at her. But man, she felt awful inside and really wanted to cry. When her phone rang, she quickly put it on silent, worried Alaric might hear it.

Seeing it was Cormac calling, Stellan stepped back into the house. "Hey, Cormac."

"Is Alaric back yet?"

"Yeah, he is. Got stuck in traffic, so he was delayed. He's in the shower now."

"Good to hear he's back," Cormac said. "It's late, you guys should get some rest."

"Will do."

After hanging up, Stellan checked the time. It was already past ten. How long was he planning to stay in the car tonight?

She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face, not wanting Alaric to see she'd been crying when he came back.

"Yeah, they went to bed on their own around nine," Stellan replied, then asked, "Why'd you come back so late, Alaric?"
