Chapter 498: You Initiated It, I Didn't Force You

After meeting Neil, Alaric couldn't calm down for a long time.

Neil was right; an ordinary person would definitely be traumatized by such an event, so Stellan was no exception.

After this incident, Alaric was both scared and angry. It was indeed an oversight. Watching Ambrose get shot right in front of him, how could Stellan not be afraid?

After much deliberation, Alaric worked late at the office and then drove himself to the outside of The Knight Mansion.

The car was already parked outside, but he suddenly found he didn't have the courage to get out. It felt like there were two versions of himself arguing inside his body.

[Alaric, you're already here. Isn't this why you came? Why don't you get out of the car?] [No, going back like this is too undignified. What will you say when you go back? What if Galatea doesn't welcome you back?]

[Dignity? You don't need to talk about dignity with your own wife. Alaric, you're a man. What's wrong with apologizing to your wife? Is it that embarrassing?]

[But you've already apologized several times. Why can't she do it once? Women need comfort, but don't men need it too? Isn't it about gender equality? Shouldn't everything be reasonable?]

[No, a family isn't a place for reasoning. Emotions don't follow logic.]

[But you can't be unreasonable, right? Was I wrong in this matter? Shouldn't I have been angry? Wasn't my anger because I love Stellan? Why can't you understand?]

After various debates within himself, there was still no clear winner.

[So frustrating, it's harder than going to war.] Alaric sighed inwardly.

Alaric pointed at his phone, muttered to himself, "Stellan, I'll count to ten. If you call me, I'll go back immediately. 1, 2... 8, 9, 9, 9..."

At that moment, although his phone didn't ring, he received a text message, and he immediately smiled triumphantly.

"See? Admitting your mistake, right? Missing me, right?" He said to his phone.

Alaric opened the text message, finding it was from Gillian.

[Alaric, it's me. Why haven't you gone back so late? You just recovered; you shouldn't be working so late.]
