Chapter 507: My Daddy Is Nice, But He's Married
"Alright, you guys chat." Seeing the awkward situation, Alaric quickly made his escape. "I'll go make dinner."
In the car, Caspian, Harry, and Elisa had already ordered a lot of dishes. Alaric hadn't seen them in a long time, and considering he had used them this time, it was right to make a delicious meal as compensation.
Watching Alaric headed straight to the kitchen with taking off his coat, Gillian was truly surprised. She hadn't expected that with so many servants and chefs in the house, Alaric would still cook.
"Gillian, let me introduce you to my three children..."
Before Stellan could finish, Harry quickly interrupted, "We'll do it ourselves. Hi, Gillian, I'm Rook Storm, you can call me Harry."
"I'm Zoe Hartley, but everyone calls me Elisa."
"Caspian Knight."
Hearing these names, Gillian was completely stunned. 'Shouldn't they all have the last name Knight?'
"Surprised that we have different last names?" Harry explained, "I took my mom's last name."
"Well, I'm even more special. I took my mom's alias as my last name."
With their explanations, Gillian was even more confused.
Stellan explained to Gillian. "When my family went bankrupt, I changed my name. Galatea Hartley was a name I randomly picked. Alaric said that even though it was a fake name I used, it had been with me for so many years, so it has its own significance too. That's why Elisa took the last name."
Hearing this, Gillian was once again shocked. Among the three children, Alaric was willing to let two of them take Stellan's last name.
Although times are more open now, it's still rare for children to take their mother's last name, especially in such a wealthy family. Alaric must really love Stellan. What kind of charm does Stellan have?
"Gillian, you're so pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?" Elisa asked, looking at Gillian.
Gillian was happy to be complimented on her looks. Elisa really had a sweet mouth.
"Not yet, Elisa," Gillian replied.
"Then, Gillian, with your good looks, you must have high standards, right?" Harry asked curiously. "What kind of guys do you like?"
After all, as Thomas's daughter, she was quite pretty.
"What? Are you guys trying to set me up on a date?" Gillian asked.
"I don't have those resources, just curious," Harry said.
"You are really curious!" Caspian complained. "I'm going back to the study. Call me when dinner's ready."
With that, Caspian turned and went upstairs. Gillian watched him go, thinking he really had a personality like Alaric.
"Gillian, don't mind him. He's not good at socializing," Harry quickly said. "I'll chat with you."
"Sure."
Harry and Elisa never stopped talking, which freed up Stellan. Alaric had wisely brought Caspian, Harry, and Elisa home without telling her.
"You guys chat. I'll go help Alaric in the kitchen."
Since they were chatting happily, Stellan went to the kitchen. Gillian watched her go in and saw her and Alaric chatting and laughing, working together seamlessly to cook.
"Harry, Elisa," Gillian couldn't help but ask, "Do Alaric and Stellan both cook? Don't you have chefs at home?"
"You don't get it, do you?" Elisa said. "How could a chef's food compare to the taste of our parents' cooking? Mom always cooked for us when it was just the three of us. And Dad is even more amazing; he's good at everything. Cooking is easy for him!"
"Don't just talk about my parents. I can cook too," Harry boasted. "In our family, except for Elisa who likes to be lazy, who isn't good at everything?"
"You're the lazy one, not me!" Elisa immediately retorted.
Then Harry and Elisa started arguing again, but it was full of affection.
Looking at this family atmosphere, she was really envious.
Soon, Alaric and Stellan finished cooking, and the five of them, plus Gillian, sat down at the dining table to eat.
"Gillian, you have to try the food my parents made together. It's so good," Elisa said enthusiastically.
"Thank you."
"Gillian, make yourself at home here. Don't be shy," Stellan said with the demeanor of a hostess. "Try these dishes and see if you like them. If not, you can ask the chef to make something to your taste."
"No need," Gillian declined directly. "I'm not that picky."
"If you're not picky, then eat up," Alaric said. "After dinner, I'll tell you the plans for the next few days."
"The plans for the next few days?" Gillian asked. "No need to wait until after dinner. Tell me now, I'm listening."
Gillian's official reason for staying was to tour Arizona. So what were Alaric's plans? He wouldn't let her tour alone, would he?
"Alright." Alaric handed her the itinerary. "These are the must-see spots in Arizona. I planned a five-day trip, and Stellan and I will accompany you."
"You and Stellan will accompany me?" This was really unexpected for Gillian.
"Otherwise? Let Silas accompany you?"
"No way!" Gillian immediately refused.
"See?" Alaric said with a smile. "Stellan and I are usually busy with work. We haven't even had time for a honeymoon since we got married. Thanks to you, we can take a break."
So the three of them would be traveling together, but in reality, she would be accompanying them on their honeymoon?
Alaric, you really thought this through!
"Forget it, I'm not going," Gillian said, feeling the torment just thinking about it. "I'm not interested in these Arizona spots."
"Then what do you want to do while you're in Arizona?" Alaric asked.
"Alaric, you heard my dad at dinner. He won't arrange work for me. To prove myself, I need to find an internship. How about I go to Nexus Innovations?"
Hearing this, Alaric almost spat out the water he had just drunk and coughed a few times.
"Look at you, so scared. Is it that hard? You have such a big company. How hard is it to arrange an internship for me?"
"Gillian, you're a general's daughter, and you want to work for my dad?" Harry couldn't help but ask. "Is my dad that charming?"
"Yeah, why?" Elisa also looked at Gillian curiously. "Gillian, my dad is great, but he's married."
After Elisa and Harry spoke, Alaric, Stellan, and Gillian all fell silent. Especially Gillian, who was completely stunned. Did the kids really say that?
