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.

"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.
