Chapter 48 I've Remarried

"Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield met that man. He's decent-looking-

though not as pleasing to the eye as you, truly!"

Eva recounted everything to Alistair, including how Richard had been struck by Nathaniel's belt.

Unaware of Richard's mother's disgraceful past, Alistair was surprised that Rebecca's parents would disapprove of Richard.

If Rebecca wants to marry Richard, does she have to give up all inheritance rights?

Alistair couldn't make sense of the situation, and Eva didn't know the full story either-but one thing was clear-neither of them thought much of Richard.

Could it be because Richard didn't endure Nathaniel's whipping as obediently as I did?

"Alistair, I heard Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield say it themselves-that man isn't fit to hold a candle to you. They still think you're the

better match for Ms. Whitfield."

Eva wasn't the type of servant to gossip about her employers. But deep down, she believed Alistair would eventually return to Rebecca, so she still considered him family. That was why she couldn't help but share the Whitfields' private affairs with him.

Anyway, I should get going."

"Eva," Alistair sighed with a faint smile, "I'm not here for Danny."

Eva froze. "Then why are you here? Have you... left them for good?"

Alistair replied calmly, "Rebecca and I are divorced. I have no ties to her-or the Whitfield family-anymore. I won't be going back."

"Oh..." Eva assumed he was just upset and tried to console him. "Alistair, I know you're hurting. And I understand. But I don't think this is entirely a bad thing. Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield are starting to see your worth, and Ms. Whitfield will learn to appreciate you."

Only a handful of people knew the truth about Alistair and Rebecca's relationship. Even her parents were in the dark-how

could Eva possibly know?

Alistair said firmly, "Eva, I'll be honest with you. I've already

remarried. Today, I'm here to pick up my stepdaughter."

Eva gaped, "What?"

Just then, Eloise emerged-this time, hand in hand with a girl about her height.
