Mommy，We Got a Husband

Alaric didn't expect Galatea's reaction to pregnancy to be so intense, and that kind of fear couldn't be faked. Galatea was genuinely terrified.

This also puzzled Alaric. As Galatea mentioned, she was a bold female surgeon and had already given birth, yet she was so afraid of having another child.

"It's okay." Alaric held Galatea, comforting her, "I was just joking. We already have Caspian, Harry, and Elisa. I will treat Harry and Elisa as my own, and you will surely treat Caspian as yours. That's enough." Galatea still looked at Alaric with disbelief, "Don't lie to me. I am not joking, either. I won't have another child, absolutely not."

"No jokes, no more children, absolutely not."

Galatea didn't say anything, just nodded, and Alaric, afraid of saying anything more to upset her, immediately hugged her and said, "It's late, let's sleep."

"Okay." Galatea nodded and closed her eyes.

Alaric turned his head, kissed Galatea on the forehead, and then watched her. He didn't know why Galatea reacted so strongly, but he knew Galatea must have some psychological trauma.

Alaric tightened his grip on Galatea's arm a bit more. He couldn't imagine what she had been through before. All he could do was use his love for Galatea to heal her wounds completely.

When he heard Galatea's steady breathing, Alaric knew she had fallen asleep. He kissed her on the face again, her fragile appearance stirring a strong protective instinct in him. He vowed not to let Galatea be hurt again. Alaric reached out and turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness.

Seeing the darkened room, Ambrose's heart also darkened.

Galatea and Alaric had already fallen asleep. Although Ambrose couldn't see what had happened between them, he could guess.

Alaric had completely won the Galatea. Would Galatea and Alaric get married and live happily in the future?

The thought made Ambrose particularly resentful. No, absolutely not! He wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!

Stellan belonged to him. Stellan could only be his!

Last night, Galatea slept soundly in Alaric's arms. The next morning, she was awakened by a phone call, her phone ringing, showing it was Cormac calling.

"It must be mine." Alaric took Galatea's phone and hung up her call, then turned on his own phone.

Indeed, there were missed calls from various people, including Mrs. Marigold and Cormac, with Mrs. Marigold calling the most.

"Mrs. Marigold is looking for you. You should call her back; she'll worry if she can't reach you all night." Galatea said anxiously.

Alaric knew Mrs. Marigold wouldn't be calling for good news, but he couldn't avoid it, so he returned her call.

"You finally answered the phone. Where were you last night?" Mrs. Marigold had been calling Alaric all night, and his phone had been off.

"I found a quiet place to sleep. What's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Griffon told me you want to completely cut off economic ties with the Nash family. Do you know this will be mutually detrimental and will also cause losses to the Knight family?"

"What else can we do? Should we continue to cooperate with the Nash family as if nothing happened? Sorry, I can't do that!" Alaric said coldly.

"Alaric, can't you separate personal matters from business? You've let your personal emotions interfere with work."

"I haven't let any personal emotions interfere with work. I made a rational decision. Cooperation must be based on mutual trust, but it's clear that Griffon doesn't trust me, and I can't trust Griffon either. Terminating the cooperation is the most rational choice."

"You're driving me crazy. Such a big matter, and you didn't discuss it with me." Mrs. Marigold complained.

"You didn't discuss Caspian's matter with me either, Mrs. Marigold. I am now a director of Nexus Innovations, and I have the power on any company matters. My decision has made, and no one can change it!" Alaric said firmly. "You're pissing me off. Fine, you're now a director of Nexus Innovations. I can't do anything about it. Do whatever you want to do!"

After that, Mrs. Marigold angrily hung up the phone, and Alaric angrily tossed his phone aside.

Galatea didn't dare say anything and just quietly stayed by Alaric's side. Later, her phone rang again; this time, it was Cormac calling. "It seems Cormac also has urgent matters to discuss with you. You should take the call." Galatea handed him her phone. Alaric took Galatea's phone and answered the call. When Cormac realized Alaric had finally answered, he was truly exasperated.

"Alaric, how old are you this year? Still playing the childish game of disappearing with your phone off!"

"Why are you looking for me? Is it about terminating the cooperation between the Knight family and the Nash family?"

"I'm not idle. I've said it before, I don't interfere in Nash family's business matters, and I'm not interested in them. I have a legitimate reason for calling you. Caspian's DNA results are out." "I'll come right away."

"Don't you want to know the results?"

"I already know the results, and there is no need to ask." Alaric said. "Alright, see you soon."

Although Galatea didn't hear what they were talking about, she knew Alaric was about to leave.

"Alaric, go take care of your business. If you need anything, give me a call."

"Okay." Alaric said, "There's something urgent I need to attend to. I'll find you after I'm done." "Okay." Galatea nodded.

"Don't rush, have breakfast first before you leave, and call me later." Alaric reminded.

After that, Alaric left first, and Galatea went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Ambrose coming out of another elevator. "Mrs. Knight, what a coincidence." Ambrose spoke first.
