Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 394 Yelling at Your Wife in Front of Everyone, You're Quite Something

Alaric trailed behind Cormac back to his place. Maybe some space between Alaric and Stellan would do them good.

"Hey, I just snagged some killer coffee. Lemme whip you up a cup," Cormac said, heading straight to the kitchen as soon as they walked in. Alaric plopped down on the couch, feeling wiped. Today's treatment had hit him hard. Even after a nap, he still felt like crap-dizzy and queasy.

Cormac came back with the coffee and noticed Alaric looking rough. He quickly set the cup down and asked, "Dude, you okay? Feeling sick again?"

Alaric sighed, "Nah, just had a treatment shot today. It was pretty intense."

Cormac raised an eyebrow, "Another shot today?"

"Yeah," Alaric said, "I crashed after the shot. Otherwise, no way I'd let her go alone today."

"Gotcha," Cormac nodded.

"Since you just had a shot, maybe skip the coffee. I'll grab you some water," Cormac suggested.

Alaric waved him off, "Don't bother. I don't want anything."

Cormac sat down across from him, giving up on the fussing. "If you're really feeling bad, you should probably lie down and rest."

Alaric shook his head, "I've slept too much today. Can't sleep anymore."

"It's been rough, man. Your mom just passed, and now the company's a mess," Cormac said, clearly frustrated.

If Alaric took care of himself, he'd be back to normal in six months, but lately, it felt like everything was falling apart.

"I've got some mood stabilizers that won't mess with your treatment. Want one? But heads up, they can be addictive. You take one now, you might want them every time you're down," Cormac, being a shrink, had meds for days. Alaric waved him off again, "No thanks. I've been popping pills for years because of this aftereffect. I'm over it. Unless I absolutely have to, I'm done with meds."

He was seriously sick of the meds. It felt like his life was just one long treatment, one pill after another, one shot after another.

Cormac got it. When his body was a mess, his mood was gonna be trash, especially with everything going on.

"Your aftereffects are getting better. Just hang in there for five more months, and once you're fully recovered, no more meds," Cormac said.

Alaric didn't say anything. He didn't even want to think about recovery anymore. He was just gonna let things play out.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm down. After a bit, he opened them and asked, "I'll crash here tonight. What about Rowena?"

Cormac replied, "I told her. She's with Galatea tonight."

"Good." Alaric felt better knowing Rowena was with Stellan. He wouldn't be cool with leaving Stellan alone.

"How's Aurora doing? Is she boarding at school now, coming home once a week?" Alaric asked.

"She's swamped. Might not even come home once a month," Cormac said, "Classes all week, and on weekends, she's tutoring kids from her old middle school. Her sessions are pricey." Hearing that, Alaric couldn't help but grin. "Aurora's really something else."

Cormac beamed with pride. "Yeah, she's a rockstar. She told me she aced the entrance exam again, top of her grade. Can you believe it? She skipped to 11th grade and still crushed it. That's wild, right?" "Super impressive." Alaric couldn't help but smile at Cormac's proud look. "So, how are things with you and Rowena? You guys patched things up?"

Cormac nodded, "Oh, I haven't told you yet. Not only did we make up, but we also got hitched. We're officially married."

Alaric blinked in surprise. "Already married? That was fast."

Cormac shrugged, "We're in our thirties, man, not kids anymore. We decided to be together, so we just went for it."

Alaric nodded. "Makes sense. You guys have known each other forever, breaking up and getting back together. It's awesome you end up together. Congrats."

Cormac grinned. "Yeah, fate's been good to us. I'm really happy now."

After the Nash family went under, he thought his life was over. But then he met Aurora, his little angel, and got back with Rowena. He was genuinely content and had no complaints.

Alaric chuckled, "That's great. Have another kid, and with Aurora, you'll have a perfect little family. I'm kinda jealous."

Cormac playfully punched him. "Jealous? Dude, you married an amazing woman and have triplets. Every guy out there envies you. Don't be ungrateful."

Alaric smiled. Yeah, he was pretty lucky.

Cormac said, "Blowing off steam is fine, but you gotta apologize. If you want a happy marriage, no matter what the fight's about, the guy's gotta say sorry first."

Cormac added, "Honestly, since you got married, your temper's gotten way better. Keep it up, and make sure to apologize to Galatea tomorrow. You made her cry in front of everyone at the hospital. Not cool, man." "I know." Alaric had already cooled off, and hearing Cormac, he realized he had crossed a line.

Back in his room, Alaric wanted to call Stellan but hesitated for a long time and never dialed the number.

In the end, he sent Stellan a message: [Galatea, I'm sorry for what I said at the hospital today.]

Stellan was about to sleep when she got the message. Seeing it, she felt a mix of emotions.

Stellan: [It was my fault too, for making you mad. I won't act on my own again. I'm sorry, Alaric.] Seeing her reply, Alaric felt a bit more at ease and replied with two words: [Good night.]

[Good night,] Stellan replied.

"Was that from Mr. Knight?" Rowena guessed, seeing Stellan's expression.

Stellan nodded. "Yeah."

"I told you, it's normal for couples to argue. It's weird if they don't. Now, get some rest. Look at you, your eyes are all puffy from crying," Rowena said.

Hearing this, Stellan quickly touched her eyes, and Rowena added, "But even with puffy eyes, you're still gorgeous."

Stellan smiled shyly, then lay down with Rowena. Sleeping with a friend was comforting.

Stellan really hoped that after a good night's sleep, all these bad vibes would just disappear.
