Chapter 25 I'm Serious

1/8

Alistair didn't understand why Rebecca had kept such a major secret from her parents, but he no longer cared. Now that the truth was out, he felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

The moment he stepped out of the building, he spotted a familiar luxury car parked by the curb.

Her smile was dazzling, leaving Alistair momentarily dazed. Chapter 25 I'm Serious

Alistair was taken aback.

Her expression told him she meant every word.

Though amused, he couldn't help but feel touched.

No one has cared about me like this since Grandpa passed

away.

"Thank you."

But his gratitude only earned him a frown from Caroline. "Why are you being so formal?"

"We're husband and wife. Family. You don't need to say thank you," she said naturally.

Alistair was once again overwhelmed.
