Chapter 470 Did I come at the right time or not?
Elisa's comment made everyone burst into laughter, while Caspian and Harry looked helpless. Harry couldn't help but complain, "If I ever find a wife like you, I'd rather stay single for life."
"What's wrong with Elisa?" Caspian immediately defended, "Elisa is so adorable and pure; how could she be anything but wonderful? Only a man more exceptional than our father is worthy of being my brother-in-law!"
Harry siad helplesssly, "Fine, keep defending her!"
After saying that, Harry pulled Aurora over and said, "Aurora, let's go upstairs and play. I'll show you a magic trick I just learned today."
"Sure." Before leaving, Aurora politely said to Rowena and Stellan, "Rowena, Stellan, I'm going upstairs to play."
Stellan said, "Alright, go ahead and have fun."
After Harry and Aurora went upstairs, Stellan also said to Caspian and Elisa, "You two go as well. We'll call you when dinner is ready."
"Okay." Caspian then took Elisa's hand and went upstairs.
Now that the kids had gone upstairs to play, Alaric and Cormac went to the kitchen, leaving Stellan and Rowena alone in the living room.
Rowena glanced at Alaric, who was busy in the kitchen, and then asked Stellan, "How are things with Mr. Knight lately? No more arguments, right?"
Stella said, "We had a fight over Mia, but he apologized later, so I let it go for now."As long as Mia wasn't found, Stella felt uneasy.
Rowena said, "Couples arguing is normal."
"Hopefully." Stellan said, "Enough about us. Let me see your belly; has it gotten any bigger?"
Rowen said, "A little, but it's not obvious. I'm worried the baby might have stopped growing."
Stella said, "Nonsense, how could that be?"
Rowen saiid, "Stellan, please tell me what to watch out for during pregnancy. I really have no experience."
Stella spoke, "Sure, I'll tell you slowly..."
Stellan, having given birth to triplets, had plenty of experience and began to share it with Rowena, who listened attentively.
Cormac stole a glance at Stellan and Rowena, who were engrossed in conversation, and couldn't help but smile.
Cormac commented, "They're really enjoying their chat."
Alaric said, "Yeah, women have endless topics to talk about."
Cormac leaned closer to Alaric and asked, "How have you been lately? Haven't upset Galatea, have you?"
"No, how could I dare?" Alaric said, "With Mia gone, I wouldn't dare upset her anymore. Whenever she seems unhappy, I don't even dare to speak. Galatea may be small, but she has quite a temper, so I better be sensible."
Hearing this, Cormac couldn't help but laugh gleefully, "You've really been tamed by Galatea."
Alaric asked, "Like you're any different?"
"Yes, we're both in the same boat, but there's a slight difference between us." Cormac explained, "Rowena was my first love, someone I never forgot. After so many years, I got her back and I must cherish her. Forget it, you wouldn't understand that feeling." Alaric said helplessly, "Right, I don't understand, only you do."
Alaric had always been good at cooking. Cormac, on the other hand, had learned after going through bankruptcy, and now he was quite adept at it.
"By the way, have you seen Neil lately?" Cormac suddenly asked.
Alaric answered, "No, we only talked on the phone before. It's been a while since I last saw him."
"I wonder if he's busy. Do you think it would be abrupt if I suddenly went to see him because of Orion's car accident?" Cormac asked.
"Not at all." Alaric came up with a "bad" idea. Now that Neil was investigating Todd's case and Marigold's case, if he knew Orion's car accident was suspicious, he would take it seriously.
Alaric actually wanted to keep Neil busy so he wouldn't have time to focus on Stellan. "You can go see him tomorrow." Alaric encouraged, "Neil is a very responsible cop. He can't stand injustice. If he hears about a wrongful case, he won't ignore it. Go see him first thing tomorrow."
Cormac was a bit surprised by Alaric's sudden attitude and looked at him incredulously, "Alaric, why do I feel something's off about you?"
Alaric said clamly, "I'm just telling the truth."
Cormac looked at Alaric, feeling something was indeed off but couldn't pinpoint what.
The two of them continued to busy themselves in the kitchen, and soon a table full of delicious dishes was ready.
Cormac went over to help Rowena up. "It's ready, Rowena, come eat."
"Caspian, Harry, Elisa, Aurora," Stellan called upstairs, "You four come down for dinner."

Soon, everyone was seated at the dining table. Cormac raised his glass first and said, "Today we're mainly celebrating Alaric's recovery. Cheers!"
"And Rowena's pregnancy," Stellan quickly added, "We have two things to celebrate."
"Yeah." After saying that, Cormac looked at Rowena and asked, "I'm happy today, can I have a little drink?"
Rowena said, "Okay, just a little."
Alaric then looked at Stellan and asked, "Should I have a little too?"
"No, you can't. I told you to quit drinking. I'll drink with Cormac." Saying that, Stellan filled her own glass.
"Alright." Alaric switched to water and said, "I'll toast with water."
After the first toast, Cormac said to the kids, "You four, let me tell you, this side is my cooking, and this side is Alaric's. Try and see whose is better."
"Cormac, are you bored?" Alaric said helplessly, "I've been cooking since my time in the army; while you just learned recently. Where do you get the confidence to compete with me?"
"Why can't I be better than you even if I learned recently?" Cormac said, feeling more competitive, "Come on, you have to judge."
Caspian, Harry, Elisa, and Aurora had no choice but to start tasting the dishes one by
one.
"So, whose is better?" Seeing that they had finished eating, Cormac quickly asked.
Before the four children could say anything, the doorbell rang. The servant quickly
went to open the door, and it turned out to be Neil.
Upon arriving home and seeing the lively scene, Neil asked, "Am I interrupting something?"
