Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 320 The Easy Target for Seven Years

With the final word spoken, Stellan took her seat on the living room's couch. Joe was waiting on the first floor and greeted her, "Ms. Storm." "You should call me Mrs. Marigold," Stellan corrected.

oe looked at Marigold, who immediately said, "Joe is my man. Do you really think you can call the shots in the Knight Family?"

"No, but aren't you the one who values rules the most? Joe has always called me Ms. Storm, never Mrs. Marigold. Whether you acknowledge it or not, I am rightfully Mrs. Marigold, and Joe can't just ignore the rules because of his seniority," Stellan retorted reproachfully.

"Stellan, don't think that just because Alaric favors you now, you can throw your weight around in front of me. I am his mother. He can change wives, but he can't change his mother," Marigold reminded her. Stellan let out a snort and said, "I used to be obedient in front of you, and you still conspired with the Vale Family to sell me out. If I were to throw my weight around, you might feel like throttling me, huh? ?"

Last time, Stellan had been more subtle, but this time, she was direct. Upon hearing that, Marigold felt both guilty and flustered but had to feign anger.

She yelled, "Stellan, that's bullshit. You're slandering me. It was clearly you who caused Alaric's illness. Instead of feeling guilty, you're blaming me. You are simply..."

"Slandering?" Stellan interrupted her. She leaped up and approached Marigold, her sharp eyes staring directly at her. "If you weren't Alaric's mother, I would have sent you to the police. I've been the easy target for you for seven years. I give an inch, you take a mile, and now you're completely out of line. We could have lived peacefully, but you insisted on harming me. Don't blame me for fighting back!"

"What do you want?" Marigold was indeed a bit intimidated by Stellan's sudden assertiveness.

"I almost died twice because of you. What do you think I want to do?" Stellan retorted.

Facing Stellan's hateful gaze, Marigold was scared. "You're falsely accusing me. Your difficult labor was Griffon's doing. What does it have to do with me? Your kidnapping this time has even less to do with me. Don't think you can scare me with such words. I have a clear conscience. I'm not afraid of you."

A clear conscience?

How could Marigold say that? She was so shameless.

Stellan said, "When I was giving birth, Griffon was indeed the main culprit. But if it weren't for him, and I had given birth smoothly, you probably wouldn't have let me married Alaric. Otherwise, why didn't you let me see Alaric back then? Why did you deliberately use a fake name on me?

Your so-called marriage license was fake. You just wanted to trick me into giving birth to a child for your family and then kick me out. Or, if I had died in childbirth, that would have been the best outcome for you.

Despite the schemes you plotted against me seven years ago, I am now truly married to Alaric, and I am willing to let bygones be bygones. But you have gone too far, time and time again, making it unbearable!" Marigold had never seen Stellan with this attitude. Seeing Stellan like this made her feel genuinely uneasy and somewhat panicked.

"So what do you want to do? Do you want to kill me?" Marigold now resorted to playing the victim. "Let me tell you, no matter how much Alaric loves you, and no matter how strained my relationship with Alaric is, I am still his mother. If you really kill me, Alaric will never forgive you."

"Indeed, a malicious mind always thinks maliciously." Stellan smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I won't take your life. Not only will I not take your life, but I will also be filial to you and take care of you in your old age." "Save your filial piety? I don't buy it," Marigold replied.

"Fine, if you don't want it, I'll be tough," Stellan said firmly. "While Alaric is recovering, I will be in charge of this house. No entry without my say-so.

Rest assured, I will take good care of Alaric and the kids. During this time, you can reflect at the Knight mansion.

And I heard you want to return to Nexus Innovations to temporarily take over as director. With your heart condition, it's really not suitable for you to overwork at your age. You should give up that idea." "Stellan, are you trying to put me under house arrest?" Marigold asked.

"You're overthinking it. I'm just considering your heart condition and want you to take this opportunity to rest," Stellan said with a hint of sarcasm. "After all, constantly scheming and bullying others can be very exhausting." "Stellan!" Marigold was furious at being completely arranged by Stellan.

"Alright, I need to take care of Alaric now. You should leave. Whenever I have time, I will visit you." Stellan said and then instructed Mia, "Mia, see the guest out."

"Yes, Mrs. Marigold," Mia responded cooperatively.

Stellan ignored Marigold and went upstairs. When she entered the room, she was genuinely moved by the scene before her.

Harry, Caspian, and Elisa were taking care of Alaric with great care. Caspian was massaging Alaric, Harry was reading a book to him, and Elisa was carefully wiping his face with a warm towel. "Mommy, we're on vacation now, and we're all grown up. We can take care of Daddy. Just go and do your things. Don't worry about Daddy. If he wakes up, we'll tell you right away," Caspian said. "Yes, Mommy, we will definitely take good care of Daddy," Harry and Elisa said in unison.

Stellan felt deeply touched upon hearing this. She certainly believed that the kids would take good care of Alaric.

"Caspian, Harry, and Elisa, you are still young. Normally, taking care of adults shouldn't be your responsibility, but I have some important matters to attend to. I might be out during the day." "Mommy, don't worry. We will definitely take good care of Daddy," the kids replied.

Stellan absolutely believed this. She was now waiting for Cormac's response and was ready to jump into action the moment she heard back.
