Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 233 I Just Like Sleeping Cuddled Up with You
"Yeah," Stellan glanced at the building and said, "Across the street is a residential area."
Alaric looked again and smiled, "That's great for foot traffic. The location is perfect, the shop space is big, and the decor is inviting. It's an ideal setup."
"Right? I think so too." Stellan looked around, feeling more satisfied.
Alaric smiled and said, "Reassuring Clinic opens tomorrow. There's still a lot to organize. Let's stay here tonight."
"Stay here?" Stellan was surprised. "There's only a small bed on the second floor."
"No problem, we can squeeze in," Alaric insisted. "The servants can take care of the kids, no worries."
Stellan was confused. "There's nothing left to do here; it's all set. If you want to be with me alone, we can go to my place or your office lounge. Why squeeze into a small bed?" "I like it." Alaric pulled her close and kissed her. "I just like squeezing into a small bed with my wife."
"You're crazy," Stellan complained. "It's hot today, and you want to cram into a tiny bed. What's wrong with you?"
"I just like it," Alaric said, acting cute.
Stellan sighed, "Alright, if you like it, as you wish, then."
"You're so nice," Alaric kissed her again. "Last time I was here, you made me some food. I'm craving it again. Can you make it for me?" "Sure, wait a moment."
Stellan went to make food, and Alaric walked out of Reassuring Clinic, observing the residential building across the street.
He thought about what Stellan had said earlier. From the loan to renting the place, everything went so smoothly. How could it be so smooth? "Food's ready, come and eat," Stellan soon brought the food to him.
"Smells great," Alaric said, taking a whiff.
"Hurry up and eat."
Alaric started eating. Watching him enjoying the food, Stellan thought the food looked more delicious than it really was. Alaric had a way of making food look appetizing. This was one of Alaric's advantages. Having been in the military and endured hardships, he wasn't picky about food.
Meanwhile, Ambrose was still standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. He hadn't seen Stellan in a long time and was thrilled to see the lights on at Reassuring Clinic.
But he didn't expect that besides Stellan, Alaric was there.
Using binoculars, he saw Alaric on the couch with Stellan on his lap. They were chatting, laughing, and occasionally kissing.
Stellan's face was glowing with happiness, with smiles Ambrose had never seen before. Even when she was with him, her smile had never been so bright.
Were they already married?
Stellan was sitting on Alaric's lap, leaning against him. "Reassuring Clinic opens tomorrow, and I'll be busy. If the special medicine for your aftereffects isn't ready in a month, we'll stick with the current treatment. Your condition is unpredictable, like a ticking time bomb. Better to treat it early."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Stellan joked, "You're not just my husband, you're also my patient. No matter the role, you have to listen to me."
"Yes, honey, you're right." Alaric picked her up. "Carrying you to bed. You need to sleep early to be the boss tomorrow."
Stellan let him carry her upstairs. "See? This bed is really small. I just wanted a place to lie down when tired, so I got this small bed."
"It's not big, but it's just right for us," Alaric said, lying down beside her.
"I don't get it," Stellan leaned against him and closed her eyes. "I really need to sleep early. Tomorrow's the clinic opening, and I'll be busy all day."
"Yes, wish you a good sleep. Good night." Alaric turned off the light and held her closer.
When Ambrose saw the shop's lights go out, he felt a sense of loss. Was Stellan leaving?
But after waiting a while and not seeing them come out, he wondered if they were staying there tonight.
Ambrose waited longer, but no one came out. It seemed they were staying there, right under his nose. His beloved Stellan was sleeping in Alaric's arms. Thinking about this made Ambrose feel a surge of uncontrollable anger.
"Galatea?" Alaric gently called her after a few minutes, but Stellan didn't respond.
Confirming she was asleep, Alaric carefully got out of bed.
He didn't turn on the light and walked to the window in the dark, looking at the residential building across the street. It wasn't too late, and many residents still had their lights on. Alaric scanned the lit floors, standing by the window, deep in thought until late at night.
The lights in the residential building gradually went out, leaving only a few still on.
From this angle, three apartments still had their lights on. Alaric took a photo with his phone, circled the three apartments, and sent it to Silas.
[Find out the owner information of the shop Galatea rented and the owners of these three apartments.]
Silas quickly replied: [Got it, Mr. Knight.]
Alaric glanced at the lit apartments again, then drew the curtains, turned back to the bed, and held Stellan close.
The next day was the opening of Stellan's Reassuring Clinic. As Alaric's wife, many people came to support her.
Many media reporters also came, creating a lot of buzz and attention.
"Isn't that Mommy?"
Since it was the weekend, Caspian, Harry, and Elisa wanted to join the fun, but Alaric refused, saying they were too noticeable and there were too many people, fearing they might get lost. "Mommy is on TV!" Elisa exclaimed excitedly.
