Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 352 A Romantic Night
After Harry finished talking, Rowena's face turned as red as a tomato, and Cormac looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole. He really didn't expect kids these days knew so much. "Harry, if you don't zip it, I'm sending you back home," Cormac warned, trying to sound all serious.
"Yeah, send him back! He's always yapping, it's driving me nuts!" Caspian jumped in, backing Cormac up.
"Caspian, keep dreaming. Even if you get sent home, I'll still be here," Harry shot back, pouting. "I'm just speaking the truth, why's everyone mad at me?" "No one's mad at you, Harry. You're adorable," Rowena said with a sweet smile.
Right then, Rowena's phone buzzed. Seeing it was an unknown number, she had a pretty good idea what it was about and just hung up.
Cormac noticed but didn't say a word. After the kids got lost in the arcade games, Cormac finally asked, "Was that a talent agency trying to sign you?"
Rowena was surprised Cormac figured it out. Ever since she ditched her last agency, a bunch of others had been trying to reel her in, but she wasn't having it.
"Yeah, but I'm done with agencies. I don't want anyone controlling me," Rowena replied.
Cormac said, "But without an agency, who's gonna help you get gigs? The entertainment biz is cutthroat."
Rowena shrugged, "I know, but I've got a plan. I wanna start my own studio, then my own company. I don't need to be the star all the time.
"I can write and compose behind the scenes, maybe start a music school and teach. There's a lot of cool stuff I can do."
Cormac didn't push it. "As long as you're sure, just don't end up regretting it."
"I know what I want, and I won't regret it," Rowena said, looking at Cormac. "Cormac, once Mr. Knight gets better and goes back to Nexus Innovations, you won't have to stay there, right? How about we start a business together?" Cormac stayed quiet.
Rowena awkwardly smiled and said, "Maybe I'm jumping the gun. Let's not talk business while we're out having fun. Look at how happy the kids are. Let's join them and play some games."
With that, Rowena dragged Cormac inside, pulling him to play games, shoot hoops, and dance on the dance machine, having a blast.
They got back to the hotel in the middle of the night. As soon as they walked in, Harry piped up, "We only booked two rooms. We'll take the big one. I'll share the smaller room with Caspian, Aurora and Elisa can have the main bedroom. You two gotta share a room."
"Yeah, you're adults and we're kids. You two can share," Elisa added.
Aurora chimed in, "That's right, I'll take good care of the three younger ones."
Just as Cormac was about to say something, Caspian quickly said, "Then it's settled. We're going to our room to crash!"
With that, the four kids dashed into their room and slammed the door. Originally, the plan was for Cormac to share a room with Caspian and Harry, and Rowena to share with Aurora and Elisa, but plans changed.
"I'll go book another room," Cormac said quickly, but when he got to the front desk, he was told it was peak tourist season and all the rooms were booked solid. Cormac was really stuck.
"Well, let's just roll with it," Rowena said, seeing how stressed Cormac looked. She was a bit annoyed. "I'm a girl and I can deal with it. Look at you, acting all hesitant. Afraid I'll pounce on you in the middle of the night?" Cormac was speechless again. When did the sweet and shy Rowena get so bold?
Back in the room, Rowena casually took off her coat and said, "It's late, let's crash."
Cormac looked around. It was a swanky suite with all the bells and whistles, but only one bed.
Cormac said, "You take the bed tonight, I'll crash on the couch."
"Why? The bed's huge," Rowena said bluntly, "We'll each take a side. We gotta get up early tomorrow."
After Rowena finished talking, she lay down on one side of the bed, leaving a big space for Cormac. Since Rowena was so chill about it, it would seem overly fussy for Cormac to refuse, so he lay down on the other side. With the lights off, they lay back to back, quietly listening to each other's breathing. The vibe was so weird. Cormac wanted to sleep, but he couldn't.
Stellan had been running around all day. When she got back to the villa, she kicked off her high heels and walked barefoot to the sofa to plop down.
Alaric hurried over to massage her shoulders and asked, "Rough day?"
Stellan closed her eyes. "Yeah, I was on my feet almost all day."
"Then just chill tonight." After massaging her shoulders, Alaric thoughtfully sat next to her and started massaging her legs.
Stellan asked, "Did the kids call?"
"They did a video call. They were having a blast," Alaric said, "Cormac and Rowena are with them, so no worries."
"Okay." After Stellan finished talking, she put her legs entirely on Alaric's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Only after getting my hands dirty do I realize how much effort you put into building the entertainment complex." "I'm a guy; it's my job to work hard. You don't need to go to the construction site for inspections anymore. Let Silas handle it," Alaric said.
"Okay." Stellan nodded and added, "Josep will come over tomorrow to continue your treatment. I have stuff to handle at the company, so I can't stay with you. Make sure to cooperate."
Since the treatment wasn't very painful for Alaric anymore, Stellan didn't need to be by his side all the time.
Alaric replied, "Alright, you go ahead and take care of your work. Don't worry about me."
Stellan nodded, then kissed Alaric on the lips and asked playfully, "Can you still lift me now?"
"Are you doubting my strength?" Alaric said, and then he effortlessly picked Stellan up. "Even though I'm in recovery, I'm not weak. Lifting you is a breeze."
After saying that, Alaric carried Stellan upstairs to the bedroom and laid her on the bed, then climbed on top of her.
Stellan immediately reminded him, "You're still in recovery. For the next six months, you can't even think about making love, got it?"
