Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 154 A Cozy Night

Alaric kept looking at Galatea, thinking about her expression when she mentioned Ambrose before. It seemed to be only sadness as if there was no resentment.

It seemed that before this, Galatea had never doubted any connection between Storm's Family's bankruptcy and Ambrose. She simply thought that Ambrose was afraid of being implicated, so he left without saying goodbye. After thinking about all this, Alaric raised his hand and rubbed Galatea's head, saying, "It's Ambrose's loss to leave you. I should thank him. Without his sudden departure back then, I wouldn't have had the chance to be with you." "Don't scold me."

"Where's the scolding? I'm clearly celebrating. The acknowledged number one socialite in Arizona, possessing unparalleled beauty, profound knowledge, outstanding elegance, excellent medical skills, and skilled in cooking, equally at ease in elegant settings and on the streets. A woman like you, I can marry. That's the greatest honor!"Alaric said.

Listening to Alaric's praise, Galatea felt so embarrassed that she wanted to run away, saying, "Usually cold and sarcastic, I didn't expect you to be so smooth-tongued."

"Every word is true, without any exaggeration."

This left Galatea speechless, being praised by Alaric like this made her not know how to react other than feeling shy.

Seeing Galatea blushing shyly, Alaric smiled, and then he pulled her closer and naturally kissed her lips.

Such a kiss was familiar to both Galatea and Alaric, but with each kiss, Galatea's feelings deepened.

After the kiss, when Galatea looked into Alaric's eyes again, she felt a tingling warmth all over her body.

"It's late now; you must be tired; go to sleep." Alaric said.

"Okay." Galatea nodded, she was truly tired, feeling mentally and physically exhausted during the day, and then walking in the rain for so long at night, she really had no energy now.

Lying in Alaric's arms, Galatea closed her eyes, and Alaric felt her go quiet within a few seconds of lying down.

"Galatea." Alaric called softly but received no response.

Alaric smiled helplessly, whether in a good or bad mood. Being able to fall asleep so quickly was truly impressive.

As Galatea slept, Alaric also closed his eyes. In the few hours when Galatea was not by his side, Alaric felt anxious, and now he was also tired.

Every time Galatea found that she was immersed in Alaric's arms and woke up until dawn.

As for Alaric, he would promptly sleep.

Meanwhile, Ambrose spent a sleepless night, standing by the French window, looking at Galatea's shop through a telescope. Galatea hadn't come today.

Presumably, he had told Galatea about Brennan's matter, which had a great impact on her. It was best to give her some time.

The next day, when Galatea woke up and checked the time, it was almost ten o'clock. Alaric was nowhere to be seen in the lounge, as he usually had early meetings every morning, so he would get up very early.

Because Galatea had kept Alaric up late the night before, she felt a bit guilty, so she decided to make lunch for Alaric at noon.

Galatea was right. Alaric had indeed gotten up early that day. After the morning meeting, he had been busy in his office.

And now someone was knocking on Alaric's office door.

"Come in."Upon hearing the knock, Alaric said.

The person who entered was Ambrose, whom Alaric had asked Silas to call over.

"I heard from Silas that Mr. Alaric has returned to work at the company, congratulations on your recovery, Mr. Alaric." Ambrose said.

"Thank you for your concern, CEO Ambrose." Alaric replied. "I heard from Silas that during my absence from the company, CEO Ambrose did a great job. The construction site was even recognized as a model in the city. I should congratulate CEO Ambrose, and I am truly delighted that Nexus Innovations has found a partner like CEO Ambrose."

"You are too kind, Mr. Alaric. It is my honor to win the bid at Nexus Innovations. I will naturally work a hundred times harder to live up to Mr. Alaric's trust." Ambrose said.

"I heard that CEO Ambrose was a senior executive at Storm's Family group before?"Alaric gave a cold smile and asked.

Upon hearing this question, Ambrose was shaken, realizing that Stellan had already told Alaric everything about their past.

"Yes." Ambrose answered simply.

"As far as I know, Storm's Family was in the food industry before. CEO Ambrose's transition is quite significant, which proves CEO Ambrose's extraordinary abilities. You are outstanding in every industry." Alaric remarked. "Mr. Alaric, you are too kind. It's just luck." Ambrose said.

"CEO Ambrose, there's no need to be modest. Success once maybe luck, but success twice is no coincidence."

"Mr. Alaric, you flatter me." Ambrose forced a smile and then asked. "Did you ask your assistant to call me over for praise?"

"Of course not. After the meeting at Nexus Innovations, it was decided that the opening day of the entertainment city should be advanced, which means the project needs to be completed at least half a month earlier."Alaric smiled and said. "The project needs to be completed half a month earlier?" Ambrose asked.

"Yes, any problems?"

The progress of the project had been carefully planned, so completing it half a month earlier would indeed cause significant changes in Ambrose's plans.

More importantly, Ambrose knew that Alaric was deliberately making things difficult for him because of his past with Stellan.

"No problems." Ambrose replied firmly. "If Mr. Alaric needs it, I will do my best to complete the project half a month earlier. Mr. Alaric, you don't need to worry about that."

"I like working with straightforward people like CEO Ambrose." Alaric said. "I'll wait for good news from CEO Ambrose. I'm busy now, so I won't keep CEO Ambrose any longer." "In that case, Mr. Alaric, you're busy. I'll take my leave." Ambrose said, then turned and left the office.

At that moment, Galatea was all set, having bought the ingredients to make lunch for Alaric at the restaurant.

As the elevator door opened, Galatea, carrying the purchased ingredients, was about to step out when she saw Ambrose standing outside the elevator.

Facing Ambrose like this, Galatea felt a strong resistance in her heart, while Ambrose was surprised to see Galatea carrying the ingredients.

Seeing Galatea's current state, still in the blissful appearance of a woman in love, what he had told Galatea about Brennan's death had not caused any ripples in her emotions.

Or perhaps, for Galatea now, Brennan's death was already insignificant compared to Alaric.

Galatea ignored Ambrose directly, walked past him with the ingredients, and left the elevator.

"Young Madam, you could have just ordered me to do this kind of rough work." Silas, who had been busy working all morning, only knew that Galatea had gone out, but he didn't expect her to go out to buy ingredients. "Making a loving lunch for Alaric naturally requires personal effort. Choosing the ingredients should be done by myself so that Alaric can enjoy it." Galatea said intentionally for Ambrose to hear.
