Mommy，We Got a Husband

Stellan knew she had made a mistake, and she understood Alaric's worry and fear, but his lecturing tone really scared her.

Stellan said, "I know I was wrong, but I really didn't think it through. You never told me that Ambrose's crimes had been exposed and that he was on the run.

"When Josep called me, he sounded very anxious, so... I wanted to call you, but you said it was a small matter, so I didn't want to disturb your work."

"I went to Far East International just to talk to Tommy. You even sent bodyguards with me: I really didn't expect anything to happen. I just didn't want Josep to worry so much."

Alaric snapped, "Galatea, this isn't the first time. Can you discuss things with me before you act? You're not a child anymore. Can you stop acting on your own whims? Why don't you ever learn from your mistakes? Why do you persist in such foolishness? Haven't the previous lessons been enough?"

Alaric was really furious and started speaking without thinking.

Stellan knew she was wrong. After being frightened, she was also filled with regret and self-blame.

If Alaric wanted to scold her, she would let him, and she understood what he was referring to.

Stellan said, "Yeah. I keep making foolish mistakes. I was foolish enough to go to your mom's birthday party last time, which led to her death. That was already foolish enough, and now I've done it again. I'm indeed hopelessly foolish!"

Alaric said, "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Ambrose!"

"Weren't you referring to Marigold's incident just now?" Stellan said directly. "Ever since your mom passed away, we've been avoiding this issue. Neither of us dared to bring it up again. Now that it's mentioned, let's clear it up."

"My mom is already dead; how do you want to clear it up?" Alaric spoke without thinking, "Neil is already investigating. We don't need to say anything more. He will give us the truth in the end!"

Stellan said, "Alaric, I know you haven't been able to accept your mom's death, even though you don't say it. It's my fault. I shouldn't have gone that day. Her death is partly my responsibility, but I really didn't push her!"

Alaric said, "This matter has been over for a long time. I don't want to bring it up again. I said Neil is investigating. Can we not talk about it anymore?"

Stellan said, "I don't want to bring it up either. But this issue has always been in your heart. Just because I don't mention it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Stellan asked loudly, "Just like now, when we argue, whenever I make a mistake, you bring up this issue to hold it against me. To truly end this matter, we need to solve the problem, but it's in your heart, and you can't handle it!"

Alaric sneered, "Is it that I can't handle it, or you can't handle it?"

"It's you!" Stellan responded directly. "If you truly had no resentment towards me and completely trusted me, you wouldn't rather smoke in the car than come home. You wouldn't secretly meet Hestia behind my back, and you wouldn't be so sensitive when Mia told me about it!"

"What did you just say?" Alaric was stunned after hearing Stellan's words. She had known all along?

"I don't want to talk about it anymore." Stellan still felt a splitting headache. After being severely frightened and arguing with Alaric, she felt like her head was about to explode.

Stellan lay down on the hospital bed, feeling powerless, and said, "Until the investigation results come out, this is the last time I'll bring up this matter. I don't want to argue anymore."

Alaric also took a deep breath, feeling powerless. He didn't want to argue anymore either.

"Then you rest." Alaric said, then walked out.

After Alaric left, Stellan covered herself with the blanket, biting her lip tightly to keep from crying out.

She knew she was wrong. The occurrence and outcome of this incident had a huge impact on her. After another argument with Alaric, she had no strength left.

Once Alaric got into the car, he felt even angrier. He slammed the steering wheel with frustration, uncertain of whom these emotions were directed at. Why did things turn out this way? He thought the instigator of this incident was Tommy!

Josep had called Stellan, and Alaric had personally gone to find Tommy, but Tommy didn't care at all. This time, Stellan was taken by Ambrose, and another major player was Tommy.

Thinking of this, Alaric started the car and drove quickly to the police station.

"Alaric, why are you here instead of at the hospital with Stellan?" Neil asked when he saw Alaric, "I already reprimanded the two officers who wanted to take Stellan's statement. Taking a statement isn't urgent. We can wait..."

"Where's Tommy?" Alaric interrupted Neil.

Neil replied, "He was released after giving his statement."

"Released him?" Alaric was shocked. "Why didn't you arrest him?"

Neil was confused. "Why should we arrest him?"

Alaric explained, "He impersonated Ambrose and helped him escape. He's an accomplice, so why can't you arrest him?"

Neil said, "He said he was coerced by Ambrose and Denny. And we found Ambrose thanks to Tommy, didn't we?"

Alaric laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke. "Did Ambrose hold a knife to his throat? Tommy had plenty of chances to escape and call the police for protection, but he didn't!

Alaric continued, "An ordinary citizen would have been freaking out in such a situation. While he managed to frame the person coercing him. Ambrose, who is so meticulous, ended up failing because of Tommy."

"I couldn't even find Ambrose, but Tommy managed to frame him. Do you think that's reasonable? Is that something an ordinary, untrained person could do? And you let such a suspicious person go?"noveldrama

Neil said, "Alaric, I understand what you're saying, but we need evidence to arrest someone..."

Alaric questioned, "Then bring him in and interrogate him. You're the police. You are responsible for interrogating and investigating him. Why did you let him go?"

Alaric admitted he had lost control of his emotions. With everything that had happened recently, how could any of it not be related to Tommy?
