Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 329 Now I'll Pursue You

Nowadays, Rowena had become Aurora's private tutor. Aurora was so enthusiastic about having her join for a meal that Cormac couldn't say no. Giving in to her enthusiasm, they found a nearby restaurant and took a seat. After they settled in, Cormac remained silent, deliberately avoiding Rowena. He just wanted to finish eating quickly and leave.

However, just then, Aurora pulled the same trick again. Halfway through the meal, she excused herself to the restroom and secretly gave Rowena a thumbs-up before leaving.

So, only Rowena and Cormac were left at the table. Rowena took the initiative and said, "I terminated my contract with the company."

"I know; I saw it in the news," Cormac replied.

"I may not have fully retired from the industry, but I'm nearly there. I feel particularly relaxed now. Even if the paparazzi take more photos and make up stories, I don't care at all," Rowena said.

Cormac said directly, "Rowena, what decisions you make is your own business; I have no right to interfere. But I hope your termination isn't because of me.

I am not married; I lied to you about that. But even so, there's no way we could get back together. Let go of the past. I've moved on, and I don't want you to be stuck in it.

You've worked so hard to succeed in music. Don't make such impulsive decisions. The Nash Family used to be in the entertainment industry, so I know it very well.

Don't think that just because you're popular, you can do whatever you want. There's no such thing as eternal fame. Fans who are crazy about you now might like someone else tomorrow. This is common in the entertainment industry. Once you give up on some things, you can never get them back. I hope you stay clear-headed and don't act on impulse."

Rowena seemed not to have listened to most of what Cormac said. She only caught one sentence and asked, "You said you've moved on from our past. Is that true?"

"Of course!" Cormac replied.

"Then why haven't you found a girlfriend all these years?" Rowena asked directly. "And why did you choose to become a psychologist?"

"That's my personal choice and has nothing to do with you," Cormac answered.

"Really nothing to do with me?" Rowena pressed on, then shamelessly added, "But why do I feel like it does have something to do with me?"

Cormac was left speechless. Rowena had changed so much over the years. She would never have said such things before.

She went on, "Cormac, you don't need to be angry or deny it. I know what you're thinking. You don't want to get back together with me because you're afraid it will affect my career. I understand your intentions. That's why I don't want to miss out anymore. Stellan was right; there won't be anyone who loves me more than you. For you, it's worth giving up anything."

Cormac was about to say something when Rowena interrupted him, not giving him a chance to speak.

"I know you're going to reject me, and that's okay. I won't give up," Rowena said with a sweet smile. "Ten years ago, you pursued me, and now it's my turn to chase after you."

With that, Rowena stood up and said, "Alright, I have to go. Tell Aurora for me."

Rowena had just taken a few steps when she turned back and added, "Oh, by the way, I've already paid the bill. You owe me a meal, so next time, it's your treat." With that, Rowena turned and quickened her pace as she walked out.

Rowena's words lingered in Cormac's mind. Ten years ago, he pursued her, and now it was her turn to pursue him?

Seeing Rowena leave, Aurora came over and asked, "Uncle Cormac, why did you let Rowena leave alone? According to TV dramas, you should have escorted her."

Upon hearing Aurora's words, Cormac pretended to be very angry and put on a stern face. "According to TV dramas, I should be scolding you. You little rascal, you're getting more daring and cunning, aren't you?" Aurora felt wronged and said, "I didn't do anything, Uncle Cormac. Rowena came to our school on her own."

Cormac snorted, and Aurora, feeling guilty, lowered her head and said nothing more.

In the following days, Stellan's life was a routine of work and home. One day, as soon as she arrived at the office, Silas informed her that the police had come.

Stellan went to the reception room, where two police officers were waiting. One of them showed his badge and introduced himself, "My name is Neil Jackson, and I'm the head of the task force for this kidnapping case." "Hello, Mr. Jackson," Stellan greeted.

"Is Mr. Knight still unconscious?" Neil asked.

"Yes." Stellan replied, then asked directly, "Does Alaric's condition have a significant impact on the case?"

"We've conducted a thorough investigation. The fire was deliberately set," Neil answered.

Deliberately set?

He went on, "If, as you said, Todd kidnapped you, and then Mr. Knight, in his desperation to save you, beat him up, that would indeed be a kidnapping case.

But if Mr. Knight beat Todd to death and then set the fire to destroy the evidence, the nature of the case changes completely."

Hearing this, Stellan was really angry. She emphasized, "I already told you last time, when Alaric and I left, Todd was still alive, and there was no fire. Why he died and why the fire started is for you to investigate." "Please calm down. I understand your feelings and am willing to believe what you say, but the problem is that we can't use your and Mr. Knight's testimonies.," Neil explained.

"So what? Have you already concluded that my husband beat Todd to death and then set the fire? Do you have any evidence?" Stellan retorted. "Currently, we have no evidence."

Stellan stated, "If you have no evidence now, you won't have any in the future because it's not true." Being wronged was really infuriating, especially when the person being wronged was Alaric, not Stellan. Then she added, "If someone did set the fire deliberately, I can give you a lead: Ambrose, Todd's half-brother. Ambrose is very ambitious and has a strong motive to kill for the Vale Family inheritance." "Alright, we'll investigate the lead you've provided. Sorry for the disturbance," Neil said politely.

As the police were about to leave, Stellan added again, "I hope you thoroughly investigate Ambrose and stop bothering Alaric. Alaric is the biggest victim in this incident." "Alright, we will find out the truth," Neil said.
