Chapter 508: "Is Mr. Knight that hard to appease?"
"What nonsense are you two spouting?" Stellan immediately scolded Harry and Elisa. "Gillian is young and beautiful, comes from a good family, and is highly educated. How could she possibly be interested in someone Alaric's age? Gillian going to Nexus Innovations is out of respect for Alaric, got it?"
Gillian suddenly felt like cursing but couldn't say anything.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I knew it," Elisa replied with a sigh of relief. "You scared me. I thought someone was trying to steal Daddy away."
Alaric and Stellan were both taken aback by Elisa's interpretation, finding it quite alarming.
"Elisa, what are you thinking about at such a young age?" Alaric quickly asked.
"Nothing much," Elisa replied naturally. "I've just watched a lot of TV dramas, so I know a bit about betrayal, affairs, and mistresses in families."
"Zoe," Harry voiced, utterly baffled by Elisa's love for TV dramas. "Can't you watch something more age-appropriate? Even cartoons would be better."
"So what if I watch them?" Caspian immediately defended Zoe. "Watching helps her understand, and understanding helps her protect herself, right?"
"Caspian, can you not contradict me for once?" Harry was really fed up with Caspian. Every time he tried to educate Elisa, Caspian had to intervene. What about his dignity?
"No, I can't." Caspian replied firmly.
So Caspian and Harry started arguing. Stellan gave Gillian an apologetic smile and explained, "Gillian, I apologize for the scene. They're always like this; they can't go a day without arguing."
Gillian gave an awkward smile without a word.
"I'm full," Caspian voiced, standing up first. "Daddy, Mommy, Gillian, take your time. I'm going to do my homework."
"I'm full too," Elisa joined, patting her little belly. "I'm going to do my homework as well."
As they ran off, Harry looked up at Alaric, Stellan, and Gillian, feeling frustrated.
He wasn't even full yet, but he didn't want to get involved in the matters between Alaric, Stellan, and Gillian.
"I'm done too." Harry said, quickly grabbing another piece of meat before running off.
"They really know a lot, and they're very cute." Gillian said this, but in her heart, she thought the three children were not cute at all!
"Of course," Alaric answered proudly whenever these three kids were mentioned.
Gillian looked at Alaric, then at Stellan, and begged, "I really don't want to go home so soon. Alaric, can you arrange a job for me at Nexus Innovations?"
"Gillian has already said it, so just arrange an internship for her. It's not difficult," Stellan added.
Alaric could only smile wryly. Not difficult? It's easy for them to say!
Finally, the dinner ended. Back in their room, Alaric locked the bedroom door and asked her, frowning, "Did you really agree to Gillian's unreasonable request? Once you accommodate her, she might stay in Arizona for a long time.".
"Her legs are her own. If she really doesn't want to leave, even if you don't arrange a job for her, she won't leave," Stellan explained calmly. "It's better to go along with her wishes. If you're her boss, you can manage her more legitimately."
"You're quite generous," Alaric felt a little angry.
Stellan moved closer, sat on his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I trust you. If she wants to cause trouble, let her. She'll give up when it doesn't work out."
Seeing that Alaric still didn't want to talk, Stellan coaxed him, "Don't be mad. I couldn't satisfy you last night, but I will tonight, okay?"
"Am I that shallow?"
"Aren't you?" Stellan teased, holding his face. "Can't this make you happy? Are you that hard to please?"
Seeing her deliberately teasing, Alaric smiled and then pinned her down.
But just like the night before, as they were about to make love, Stellan felt discomfort in her stomach. Seeing her discomfort, Alaric quickly stopped to ask, "What's wrong? Feeling unwell again?"
"Considering the dates, my period is due in the next couple of days, so..."
Alaric had to give up again, sighing helplessly. "Forget it, we can't make love. Just lie down."
Just like the night before, Alaric gently massaged her abdomen.
"Your technique is really good. Keep going; it feels great."
"Okay."
Stellan closed her eyes and lay in Alaric's arms, letting him massage her abdomen until she quickly fell asleep.
"Stellan?"
Seeing that she seemed to be asleep, Alaric called her softly. She didn't respond at all, confirming she was asleep.
Alaric withdrew his hand to hold Stellan as he closed his eyes after turning off the light.
The next morning, as usual, Alaric had already prepared breakfast when everyone got up.
"Alaric still gets up early to make breakfast every day?" Gillian couldn't believe it.
"Yes," Elisa replied proudly. "Not only does he get up early to make breakfast, but he also personally drives us to school. In short, my daddy is the best example of a good father and husband."
Seeing this, Gillian was really envious. No, she was jealous.
She was so jealous of Stellan because Alaric spoiled her so much. 'How could someone as noble as Alaric do so much for her? How did she deserve to marry Alaric?'
After breakfast, Caspian, Harry, and Elisa went to school. Alaric drove, with Stellan in the passenger seat and Gillian in the back.
Alaric first dropped Stellan off at the construction site. As the car stopped, he introduced to Gillian, "This is Stellan's hospital. It's almost finished, and Stellan will be the director here."
Gillian had been here before; of course she knew.
"Stellan is really impressive." Gillian pretended to be very surprised.
"Alright, you two should head to the company. Arrange a relatively easy job for Gillian since she's just starting." Stellan reminded before getting out of the car.
"Okay." Alaric kissed her on the lips, "Honey, I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'm off. Bye, honey. Bye, Gillian." Stellan got out of the car.
At that moment, Gillian wanted to gouge her eyes out. Kissing in front of her, did they think she was invisible?
"Let's go, Miss Gillian," Alaric voiced. "I really need to think about what position to arrange for you."
Gillian remained silent.
Stellan watched Alaric's car drive away, then walked towards the construction site.
As soon as she entered, a subordinate ran over and respectfully reported, "Ms. Storm, Tommy came over early this morning. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
