Chapter 496: How could she not feel sorry for you?

"Gillian? What are you doing here?" Alaric was genuinely surprised to see her standing outside the door.

"I know you are staying here, so I come to find you." Gillian said as she walked into the

room.

'Did Silas tell her? Probably, since Silas had been with her all day.' Alaric thought.

"Alaric, why are you staying at a hotel instead of going home?"

How was he supposed to answer that?

"Did you have a fight with your wife?" Even if Alaric didn't answer, the reason was pretty obvious.

Alaric was really frustrated. It felt like all the dignity he had in the first half of his life had been completely lost in the past few days.

"Why does staying at a hotel have to mean I had a fight with my wife?" Although it was true, Alaric had to hide it. "I just felt like staying at a hotel, so I did."

Hearing this, Gillian laughed and asked, "Do you even believe yourself when you say that? Although I don't have any marriage experience, I've seen other people's marriages. Couples fight, some ignore each other, some make the husband sleep on the couch, and some even kick the husband out. It's rare, but your wife seems pretty strong-willed."

"Correction, I chose to stay at the hotel myself. It has nothing to do with my wife, OK?" "OK," Gillian nodded. "I'm also staying at this hotel, on this floor."

"You're staying at this hotel too?"

"What else?" Gillian shrugged helplessly. "I don't have a home in Arizona. I was thinking of staying at your big villa for a couple of days, but it turns out you got kicked out yourself."

"If you want, I can arrange something for you. You don't have to stay at a hotel."

The Knight Manor was still vacant, and Alaric had other properties under his name. Arranging a place for Gillian was simple.
