Chapter 5 Determined to Have Him
Before adopting Eloise, Caroline had been a staunch believer in staying single for life.
Even after bringing Eloise into her world, she naively thought her love alone would be enough to give this little girl, who'd lost her mother at birth and faced a rocky start, a happy, fulfilling life.
But somewhere along the way, things got complicated. The first time Eloise, with her big, cautious eyes, asked why she didn't have a daddy, Caroline's heart sank. Raising a child, she realized, wasn't just about love. Making a child truly happy was far more intricate than she'd imagined.
That was when her ironclad no-marriage rule began to waver.
She started entertaining the idea of marriage. At first, she figured she'd pick someone tolerable from her pool of suitors. to find someone who was kind, patient, and attentive. But every time she mentally sifted through the candidates, ready to take the next step, an invisible force seemed to hold her back, keeping her rooted in place.

It was as if he'd endured countless hardships but emerged with his kindness and warmth intact. It was a quality no one could fake.
Caroline wasn't impulsive by nature. Sure, she could be bold, even a little wild at times, but never reckless.
She wasn't sure if it was Eloise's instant connection with this man or the uncanny sense of familiarity he sparked in her from the moment they met.
Whatever it was, she'd made up her mind. Alistair was the one she wanted, and she wasn't letting him slip away.
Eloise bounced back, freshly cleaned, her face glowing.
She clambered into Caroline's lap for a quick cuddle, then shyly sidled over to Alistair, resting against his leg and fidgeting with her fingers.
Alistair reached down, gently ruffling her hair with a warm smile.
He genuinely liked this little girl.

Her bright, sugary smile was like a balm, soothing the wounds left by years of dealing with Daniel's tantrums and chaos.
For a fleeting moment, he even found himself thinking how wonderful it would be if he could have such a lovely daughter.
Eloise tilted her head up, her eyes wide and hopeful. “Alistair, will we see you again?"
Seeing her expectant expression, Alistair hesitated, then gave a vague but gentle reply. "If fate wants us to, I'm sure we will."
A voice chimed in his mind. "New life opportunity detected. Host, please make your choice.
