Chapter 17 Mark of Shame
Rebecca truly wanted to find a new husband, but Cordelia thought she was joking.
This unexpected reaction left Rebecca completely flustered.
1/9
Although Rebecca was the apple of her parents' eyes, her rebellious behavior six years ago had deeply hurt them and nearly severed their relationship. Their reconciliation was barely two years old, and she didn't dare act as recklessly as before. She needed to plan her next moves carefully.
She managed to blame this situation on Alistair. He was too devious, too cunning, too despicable!
He had gone to extreme lengths to stay by her side, deliberately winning over and flattering Nathaniel and Cordelia. His scheming had worked perfectly-Cordelia now approved of him!
Yet Rebecca never considered that without Alistair's humbling himself before Nathaniel and Cordelia, their relationship would never have healed so quickly.
*****
Alistair had the misfortune of dealing with an irresponsible, selfish father.
Yet, he was determined to be perfect in the same role.

He quickly embraced his position as Eloise's father. When Eloise had her first day of preschool, he was extremely worried.
Most children struggle to adjust on their first day of preschool, often crying for their parents.
Daniel had been challenging.
He cried for three whole months.
The main issue was that Rebecca would cave and let him stay home whenever Daniel threw a tantrum. Her endless spoiling meant it took Daniel three months to adapt to preschool life.
During this period, Alistair suffered tremendously.
Since he was always responsible for taking Daniel to preschool, Daniel naturally viewed him as the villain.
Daniel hated him during that time. Alistair still had a scar between his thumb and index finger from when Daniel bit him. The little brat had used all his strength, breaking Alistair's skin immediately and causing significant bleeding.
That was impossible to expect Rebecca to discipline Daniel.
That day, when Daniel bit Alistair's hand bloody, Rebecca. rushed over, concerned only about Daniel. She lovingly had Daniel rinse his mouth and carefully check if his front teeth had loosened. After ensuring Daniel was fine, she impatiently tossed the word "useless" at Alistair before taking Daniel out to play.

Besides, he couldn't leave freely without Rebecca's permission.
He placed his hand under the faucet, rinsing away the blood with cold water, then
took a bandage from the first aid kit and applied it.
Fortunately, the wound scabbed over within two days.
