Chapter 454 He Still Doesn't Want to Go Home


Stellan just called Mia again, and Mia said Alaric still wasn't back.

Seeing the weather getting worse and rain on the way, Stellan couldn't help but call Alaric. He hesitated a bit before picking up. "Galatea."

"Alaric, where are you?"

Alaric figured Mia had told Stellan he went out, which ticked him off a bit.

"I was bored at home, so I went for a walk. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Right as he finished, the waiter came over.

"Your coffees." The waiter set down two cups of coffee in front of them.

Alaric turned down the volume on his phone, but Stellan still heard a bit.

"Alright, I'll let you go. Looks like it's gonna rain, so come home early and don't get soaked like yesterday," Stellan said.

"Okay, I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up, Stellan felt uneasy and upset. Who was Alaric meeting? Could it be Neil?

She knew Alaric wouldn't tell her even if she asked. But she was sure whoever he was meeting had something to do with Marigold's case.

Alaric put down his phone and stared at Hestia. She looked reserved, but her eyes were determined.

"Mr. Knight, I know what I'm doing must make you mad, but Mrs. Marigold Knight is your mom. Now that she's gone, if she knew you still refused to believe the truth and were protecting Stellan, how heartbroken would she be?" "Enough!"
