Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 305 Stellan Has Been Kidnapped

Stellan drove alone to the hotel to find Rowena. These days, Rowena felt like every day was a year. When she saw Stellan, Rowena walked with her to a nearby café. "Have you not been eating well these days? You look noticeably thinner," Stellan said after they sat down.

"Not much of an appetite," Rowena replied honestly, "But I feel better today."

"It's good that you're feeling better. Being a celebrity isn't easy; your private life is completely exposed to the public, and any small issue gets magnified infinitely," Stellan said.

On Rowena's birthday, seeing so many fans sincerely celebrating for her, Stellan felt a bit envious. But after this incident, Stellan realized that being a celebrity wasn't all that great; every profession has its own challenges.

Rowena gave a bitter smile and said, "It's normal. When you choose to be a public figure, you naturally put yourself out there for everyone to judge. I was mentally prepared for this before entering the industry. There are many who support you, and many who dislike you. It's just that I never thought the end of a relationship would become so embarrassing."

"That's Richard's fault. He cheated and then tried to blame you," Stellan snapped.

Then Stellan said honestly, "Actually, the first time I saw you two together, I didn't think you were right for each other. Of course, you were still in the honeymoon phase then, so I didn't say anything. Now that you've broken up, you should be happy. The sooner you break up with a jerk like Richard, the better."

Hearing this, Rowena felt a bit better and agreed, "Yes, it's good to see his true colors early and end it. Now I really feel relieved."

"To celebrate you leaving the jerk and embracing your own freedom," Stellan raised her coffee cup. Rowena smiled and raised her cup to clink with Stellan's.

After clinking glasses, Rowena said with some shame, "We're about the same age, and you're already married with three kids, while I'm single again."

Stellan could only give a wry smile. If she hadn't been desperate back then, she wouldn't have had kids so early. But looking back now, it was a blessing in disguise.

"So, you're envious of me?" Stellan asked, puzzled. "I don't know much about the entertainment industry, but it seems like celebrities get married late. You're still in the prime of your career; why did you get into a relationship so early?" Rowena replied, "It has to do with personal character, I guess. I actually have pretty traditional views. If I'm going to get married and have kids, why wait so long?"

Since the topic had been brought up, Stellan found herself unable to resist sharing more."You just broke up, so it might not be appropriate to say this, but I really think you and Cormac are a perfect match. It's a shame you're not together." Her and Cormac?

Rowena couldn't help but give a bitter smile and said self-deprecatingly, "He's already married. How could we be together?"

"Married?" Stellan was shocked, then laughed. "Did he tell you that?"

"Isn't it true?" Rowena asked.

Suddenly, Rowena realized that Cormac might have said that to make her give up completely and feel at ease.

"He doesn't even have a girlfriend. Who would he marry?" Stellan said seriously, "Not only does he not have a girlfriend now, but he hasn't dated anyone since you two broke up."

"What?" Rowena was truly shocked. Cormac was a rich heir back then. When Griffon approached her, he said he had arranged a suitable match for Cormac.

"Surprised?" Stellan said, "When I first met Cormac, I was surprised too. I thought he was the type to be frivolous and not take relationships seriously, so he wouldn't think about marriage. But after getting to know Cormac, I realized I was completely wrong. Cormac is a very reliable person, very kind, and extremely devoted. Do you know what his profession has been all these years?"

Rowena couldn't speak, just staring at her blankly.

"A psychologist," Stellan said.

"A psychologist?" Rowena was surprised. "Shouldn't he have gone back to inherit the family business and become a CEO?"

"Yes, but he didn't. Because of what Griffon did to hurt you, he's been at odds with Griffon ever since, even running away from home and staying abroad for many years. He chose to become a psychologist because of your past depression. To put it bluntly, Cormac has never forgotten you all these years. In an era filled with distractions and temptations, his unwavering devotion to you is genuinely rare."

Even as an outsider, Stellan was moved by Cormac. After so many years, Cormac still couldn't forget Rowena. How much must he love her?

In a world with so many people, to be devoted to one person and withstand the test of time was truly rare.

Hearing this, Rowena didn't speak. She just felt a dull pain in her chest. She thought Cormac would quickly forget her after the breakup, marry a girl from a good family, and live happily.

It turned out that was just her assumption. She was deeply hurt by the breakup, but wasn't Cormac as well?

"Stellan, thank you for telling me this." It took Rowena a long time to say this.

"I'm just an outsider meddling in your business, but I have to say objectively, there won't be anyone who loves you more than Cormac," Stellan added. No one who loved her more than Cormac? Yes, Rowena absolutely believed that.

Today, Rowena and Stellan didn't go anywhere else. They just sat in the café until late. Seeing the time, Stellan apologized, "Rowena, it's getting late. I need to go home." "Sorry," Rowena said, completely immersed in her emotions and forgetting the time. "I didn't realize it was so late. Stellan, you should go home. Thank you for today." "Thank you for thinking of me when you needed someone. Now that you've left the jerk, you should feel better." Stellan encouraged her with a pat on the shoulder.

Rowena returned to the hotel, and Stellan took the elevator down to the underground garage to get her car. The moment she exited the elevator and entered a blind spot in the surveillance coverage, she felt a sudden grip from behind, as someone seized her.

Before Stellan could react, the drugged cloth tightly covering her mouth had already taken effect. Her consciousness grew fainter, and then everything went black.

Alaric had slept for quite a while. When he opened his eyes, it was already dark outside. In recent days, he had been living in a haze, finding it difficult to differentiate between day and night.

Alaric fumbled for his phone and checked the time, which gave him a shock. It was already eleven at night. He looked around and didn't see Stellan, so he called out, "Galatea, Galatea?"
