Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 229 Give up Everything

"Mrs. Knight, please calm down," Joe said, stepping forward to comfort Marigold. He turned to Alaric, "Mr. Knight, Mrs. Knight's heart isn't in good shape. You shouldn't..." "That's none of your business. Back off!" Alaric snapped. Joe had no choice but to leave.

Alaric continued, "Mom, I didn't act without telling you. I've mentioned more than once that I want to marry Galatea. You never respected my wishes, and..."

Alaric's tone grew firmer. "If you're going to use your heart condition to threaten me, I'll do the same. My health isn't great either. Are you worried about your heart but not mine? If my condition worsens, it could be fatal too." "Alaric! Are you threatening me with your health?" Marigold clutched her chest, stepping back.

Stellan moved to support her, but Alaric stopped her. "Mom, I just want to marry the woman I love. Why can't you accept that? I don't get it."

Marigold sneered, "You don't get it? You've been bewitched by Stellan, so of course, you don't."

She pointed at Stellan. "Alaric, ask her why she agreed to marry you and had your kids. Isn't it for money? The Storm family was drowning in debt, and I paid it off."

"Your marriage is a business deal. I paid her to have three kids for the Knight family. If she had any self-awareness, she'd know she's just a tool, not someone who should be scheming to marry you and use the kids to manipulate you!" "Mom!" Alaric said, emotional. "What are you talking about?"

"Am I wrong?" Marigold pointed at Stellan. "Tell me, where did I go wrong? Didn't you agree for the money? You knew the kids were ours but still lied to me. Stellan, how have I wronged you? You sold yourself for money, and now you claim to truly love Alaric?"

Marigold tried to grab Stellan, but Alaric stopped her, shielding Stellan.

"Mom, I know you're angry, but show some respect for Stellan. I'm her husband now. I know who she is, and I didn't come here for your approval. Your opinion doesn't matter to me!" Alaric took Stellan's hand and led her out. At the door, he turned to Marigold,

"Mom, whether you acknowledge Stellan or not, she's my wife. If you don't like her, at least don't insult her. This is the last time. If you use such words again, we're done. Take care."

"What do you mean, Alaric?" Marigold was shocked. "Are you really going to disown me for Stellan? Look. It's not that simple. The Knight family is still under my control. If you cut ties with me, you'll lose everything. Do you hear me? Alaric!" Marigold chased Alaric from the hall to the yard, but he didn't respond. He just got into the car with Stellan and sped away.

"Alaric is really rebelling!" Marigold trembled with anger and collapsed to the ground. "Is he really planning to give up everything for Stellan?"

"Mrs. Knight, please don't get angry," Joe advised and then quickly instructed the maid, "Get the medicine. Hurry."

Meanwhile, Alaric was driving so fast that it scared Stellan. She had expected a rough encounter with Marigold, but it was worse than she had imagined. Marigold's last words echoed in her mind. If Alaric cut ties with Marigold, he'd lose everything.

Marigold might really force Alaric to leave her. If it came to that, she believed Marigold would go through with it. Alaric would no longer be the boss of Nexus Innovations and would end up with nothing, just like Cormac. "I'm sorry."

As Stellan was thinking, the car suddenly stopped, and she heard Alaric's apology. She snapped back to reality and looked at him. "I should be the one apologizing. It's all because of me..."

"Stellan!" Alaric called her by her name for the first time. "I don't want you to think that way. At first, it was my decision to marry you. It has nothing to do with you. Don't take my mom's hurtful words to heart. She's just like that; once she believes something, she won't accept any other explanations. This time, I miscalculated. I shouldn't have brought you here."

Alaric thought Stellan must have felt very upset because of Marigold's words.

"No, we had to face it sooner or later," Stellan said with a smile. "I'm fine. Don't be upset."

Alaric pinched her cheek and sighed, "I feel helpless having a mom like this. Despite the Nash family's example, she refuses to take a step back so we can be a happy family. She's so stubborn and unyielding." Alaric had always disapproved of Marigold's mindset and behavior, but he couldn't change her.

Stellan remained silent. When it came to stubbornness, Marigold and Griffon were truly alike.

"Alright, today is a good day. Let's forget these unhappy moments," Alaric said. "I've said what I needed to say to her. As for the hrest, let's just go with the flow."

Go with the flow? Could they really just let it go with the flow?

Stellan murmured, "Alaric, if Mrs. Knight really cuts ties with you and makes you leave the Knight family, then you..."

She wanted to ask if Alaric would regret it. What would he do if that day really came?
