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

concern her.

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