Not Know Much

"Welcome back, sir." The butler of Walker mansion greeted Alaric with a slight bow.

Alaric hummed in response and made his way upwards to his room on the second floor. When he was about to open the door, he heard sobbing of Belle and stood their frozen.

"Dad, please don't go." Belle was begging her father to stay with her.

"From when did she have this nightmare?" Alaric murmured with a frown. He turned the knob without making any noise and stepped into the room. Belle was curled up on the bed. She was sobbing pitifully and begging for her father to open his eyes.

"It seems I don't know anything about my wife." Alaric took in a deep breath and adjusted his body near Belle and hugged her from behind.

"Don't cry, love." Alaric patted her back gently and comforted her.
