Chapter 28 The Resentful CEO
1/7
Thanks to Rebecca, Alistair-at the young age of twenty-four, in the prime of his life-had no desire for sweet romance, let alone marriage and children.
He lived as ascetically as a monk.
He had resolved to spend the rest of his days alone.

I'll figure it out eventually. For now, I'll follow my instincts-I want to indulge myself just this once.
Though Alistair had no romantic desires, he was still a young man in his prime. The deep night, the quiet space filled with a faint, intoxicating fragrance, and the presence of a soft, alluring beauty-even as a gentleman with no untoward impulses, he couldn't help but feel slightly unsettled.

Alistair exhaled in relief.
As she passed him, Caroline suddenly stopped.
Alistair nearly bumped into her.
