Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 252 Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously

"Sorry, Aurora." Cormac noticed Aurora looked scared and quickly apologized. "I was too harsh earlier. My bad."

"No, it's my fault for upsetting you," Aurora replied. "You said you didn't want to go, and I kept pushing. Of course, you'd be mad. I won't bring it up again. We're not going." Seeing Aurora so sincere, Cormac felt guilty. This was about him and Alaric, not about her. She was just a kid wanting to visit the entertainment center. "Cormac, it's hot today. I'll make some soup," Aurora said, running to the kitchen.

Cormac felt even worse. Aurora was always so thoughtful and frugal, never wasting a penny.

"Aurora," Cormac called, walking into the kitchen. "Do you really want to go to that entertainment center?"

Aurora quickly denied it. "No, there'll be too many people on the free day, and it's so hot. We wouldn't have fun. I wasn't thinking. It's more comfortable at home." Cormac felt sorry for her. Why was she so mature at her age? The more sensible she was, the guiltier he felt.

"If you want to go, we'll go," Cormac said. "I have a day off, so I can take you there."

He didn't want to go, but he couldn't crush her curiosity. Plus, the grand opening was only on the first day. With so many people, Alaric wouldn't notice him. Aurora smiled. "No need. With everyone at the amusement park, the mall will be less crowded. We can enjoy the air conditioning there."

"But the mall doesn't have a science museum or free exciting games," Cormac teased.

Aurora's eyes lit up. She'd never been to a science museum or played high-tech games. Seeing her fall silent, Cormac smiled and asked, "So, do you want to go? It's all free."

The thought of free games excited Aurora. She nodded honestly. "Yes."

Cormac smiled. Kids never hid their emotions, always so sincere and pure.

"Then, deal."

"Thank you, Cormac!" Aurora was thrilled.

Seeing her so happy made it worthwhile for Cormac.

"But Cormac," Aurora worried, "since it's free, there'll be a lot of people. I heard there's a limit, and they might not let more in."

"I'll line up at midnight, and you can join me in the morning," Cormac suggested.

"I want to line up with you. I won't be able to sleep from excitement anyway," Aurora said.

"You really want to go there so much?" Cormac teased.

"Yes! The pictures look amazing. I can learn and play things I usually can't. Of course, I'm excited."

Aurora sighed, "That place must've cost a fortune to build. The person who built it must be super rich, like a king."

As rich as a king?

Back then, the Nash and Knight families were neck and neck. Now, the Knight family was thriving while the Nash family had fallen apart. Cormac gave a bitter smile. "Aurora, you're so good at studying. You'll definitely be successful and make a lot of money."

"If I make a lot of money, I'll open a charity hospital so people who can't afford treatment won't lose their lives because of short of money." Cormac was deeply moved. Aurora always turned pain into kindness, facing the world's hardships with grace and compassion. "It will definitely come true," Cormac assured her.

The entertainment center was now fully built and in the final inspection phase. Alaric had said he would personally inspect it.

Today, the place was cleared out, with only Alaric, Ambrose, and a few inspectors present.

"Mr. Vale, you're meticulous. The project is flawless," Alaric said, looking around the amusement park.

"Mr. Knight, you said you'd personally inspect it. How could I slack off?"

Alaric snorted and kept walking, with Ambrose following.

"Once the inspection is over, our cooperation is done," Alaric said. "Leave Arizona forever, or face the consequences."

"Mr. Knight, you're married to Stellan. Why are you still wary of me?" Ambrose replied. "Even if I leave Arizona, Stellan will find me if she keeps investigating the Storm family incident."

Alaric's eyes turned cold. "Ambrose, do you think you're that important? Even if you have decisive evidence, so what?"

Ambrose didn't get what Alaric meant and just waited for him to continue.

Alaric snorted. "From the time you and Stellan met, she told me everything. She said she fell into the water, and you saved her."

"She wanted to repay you but couldn't find you. Later, she met you again at Brennan's company, where you were a new employee at the Storm Group."

"Doesn't this sound like a romance drama? Coincidence? More like you orchestrated every detail to get close to Stellan and make her fall for you."

Alaric continued, "Your goal was to get close to Stellan, right? If you were just an ordinary employee trying to use her status to climb up, it would make sense. But you're not; you're an illegitimate child of the Vale family." "After the Storm family went bankrupt, you disappeared and returned to the Vale family. Stuart Vale initially ignored you but later admitted you into the Vale Group. Why the change?"

"Especially after you went to the Storm Group, which went bankrupt later, you returned to the Vale family, and Stuart Vale accepted you. Does that make sense?"

Alaric snorted. "Unless you had a mission from Stuart Vale. He sent you to the Storm family, and after you completed it, he was so satisfied that he acknowledged you."

"That's why you told me you and Stellan were forced to separate because the Storm family fell. If you stayed in Arizona, you'd expose yourself, so you had to leave as per Stuart Vale's orders. Right?"
