Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 50 Rebecca's Disappointment

"Bye, Daddy!"

Outside the kindergarten, Eloise waved goodbye to Alistair, her pink backpack bouncing as she turned away.

Alistair watched until her tiny figure disappeared from view, then

survive in society was questionable. Rebecca's willingness

to reconcile and remarry him should have been considered a

blessing, something he ought to be grateful for.

Cordelia believed that if Rebecca approved, Alistair would definitely come around. Even if he got married again, it wouldn't

concern her.

In her mind, their family was wealthy, Rebecca was perfect, and Alistair would come running back at the slightest beckoning.

Cordelia's inflated sense of self-importance stemmed from her

complete misunderstanding of Alistair.
