Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11 You Must Love Mommy Forever

"This place is close to both my office and Eloise's future preschool," Caroline explained. "Since it's just the two of us, this smaller house feels more intimate. We'll stay here for the next few years, though if you think it's too small, we could always move somewhere larger."

Alistair thought Caroline was humble-bragging, but then realized he was being overly sensitive.

She was just stating facts. For a CEO making hundreds of millions annually, owning multiple large properties was perfectly normal, wasn't it?

Still, Alistair was taken aback that Caroline was actually asking for his opinion.

"No need," he replied. "This place is perfect."

By his estimate, it was over 2,000 square feet, more than enough

space.

And it wasn't that he was being picky. He simply didn't like living in houses that were too big, especially with so few people. The emptiness made his heart feel hollow too, leaving him with a sense of insecurity.

Caroline pointed to a door. "That's Eloise's room."

Alistair had guessed as much, since Eloise had immediately disappeared through that door when they arrived and had firmly closed it behind her. Who knew what she was up to in

there.

Caroline then pointed to the door to the left of Eloise's. "That room is yours."

Just then, Eloise's door swung open. "Mom, I want to get something yummy. Can I ask Alistair... I mean, can Dad take

It was a quick correction.
